April - no drinking

Unlike March, April's without went swimmingly!  Avoiding drinking was very easy, and Josh and I both succeeded with flying colors.

The only time Josh or I felt challenged was when we went skiing.  After finishing up our ski day, heading down to the camper, taking Leonard for a long walk and getting dinner together, it was 7 o'clock.  Then we realized we didn't have anything to do.  We might have gone to the Elk for a beer, but that was out.  None of our other friends brought their campers up that weekend, and UNO is only fun for so long. 

It was actually really interesting to learn how hard not drinking at Crystal was.  I didn't realize how much of the fun of taking the camper up is the ability to have a few drinks after a ski day, and that skipping that part changed the experience.  Its something we could get used to but it was an eye opener.  And that, is the entire reason we are doing the year without, to be more aware of these types of things.


That said, I did go to Boston and visit Belle in April.  I see her 3 times a year if I'm lucky and I can't be expected to have a girls weekend without sharing a bottle of wine with my best friend.  I visited for 3 days.
