I got up bright and early and went to the pool on campus.  Got in 40 laps and felt pretty good.  Stopped off at McDonald’s for lunch and didn’t feel a bit guilty.

I also went to Half Priced books and traded in a pile of hardcover novels.   How much did I get back, you ask?  $10.00    I keep going there and I keep being surprised and disappointed.  Still, I did pick up a few good deals and it only ended up costing me $6.00 after the money back.

Let’s see, what else did I do today?

Oh yeah, almost forgot.  I went to a nudist resort.

…

Yep. I did it.  I had called ahead and made arrangements to visit today and made the trip with my trusty google map.   I got buzzed in at the gate and went up to the front office.  The woman behind the counter entered me into their system, gave me a wrist band – and didn’t charge me the visitor’s fee because it was my first time.

I went back to my car to drop off my things.  There was a moment, standing there at my trunk when I hesitated.  Then I look over to the left and saw a guy casually getting undressed at his car.  I mentally shrugged, dropped my pants, and went to go find the pool.  The resort was really nice, lots of camping, a clubhouse, volleyball court, and a really nice pool.  I laid out in the sun for a bit, swam a little, and did a little reading.    After a bit, I decided to check out the hiking trail.  I had a map from the front office, but it wasn’t that clear – took me a bit to even find where the trail started.  I hiked for a bit, almost fell in the creek, and fought off bugs while trying to keep an eye out for “leaves of three”.   (shudder)

I gave up on the trail in short order and headed back the way I came.  I got some more sun, swam a bit, and then decided to call it a day – I didn’t stay for the potluck dinner.

And it was… pleasant.   Everyone was friendly and polite.  And after getting over my few moments of “oh my gosh everyone is naked” – I just enjoyed the day.

It was an interesting cross section of people.  From kids to seniors, from fit to obese – everyone was on equal (bare) footing.  Pretty nice -and I think I’ll try to go back before the weather turns cold.

The only downside?  Sunburn.  I’m hurting now – and burned in places I’ve never been burned before.  And no, not there.   It’s my upper things – not even a cold bath and aloe has helped much.  Not looking forward to long pants on Monday.  I’m burned elsewhere – sholders mostly – but they don’t hurt like my thighs.  Lesson learned.

So, what did you do this weekend?
