Memorial Day Recap



 Nice Spirit Fingers Babe!

This is the first Memorial Day that we haven't gone somewhere in 6 years, so it was nice to stay at home and enjoy the AMAZING weather! We didn't do a ton of super exciting stuff, but did have a rendezvous with some friends for BigD's 35th birthday (he's really only 28, but he could be 40). He and his wife Hilari came into town for a night so we went to Barrio on Capitol Hill, which is bomb.com and surprised him with some of the crew. We drank some beers, took down some tequila, ate a bunch of Mexican food, and generally had a great time....
           See...Beers and Crew

The Fun Bunch: From Left to Right (Hilari Flanigan, 
Birthday Boy Flanigan, Buckskins, Nutt, Boo, and Myself)
Supporting Cast of RoupeScoop (Boys Edition): Gonny, BK, Me, BigD, and Balz
Nutt + Tequila = Bitter Beer Face?

I also squeezed a round of golf in (I still suck), we took Hawk for like 600 walks and he whizzed like 1800 times (he's beat), grabbed coffee in the mornings (naturally), and had a great domesticated evening with our good friends, Lowell Parker and his fiance Becca. We grilled steaks, drank wine, and played some Apples to Apples. Hawk and LuLu (their dog) chased the cat and we were really entertained all evening (this will happen to each and every one of you someday so don't roll your eyes). Then we wrapped it up with more meat on Monday at another BBQ with some friends. Meat is good. 

In case you were wondering to yourself, "Where do the Roupe's go on all of these Memorial Day trips"? I have put together a nice list. Why? Because people love lists. You know what else people like? PICTURES! Because you don't have to read them....
