I'm going away with the girls this weekend up to Ellicottville, New York. It's only like two hours away, but it feels like a million miles and I can't wait.
We go every year, and it essentially involves hanging out in our pajamas, a whole lot of drinking and ridiculous drinking games, watching random 80s movies such as The Karate Kid and that's about it. Actually, last year we tried snowboarding, which let me tell you, was interesting. And by interesting, I mean incredibly painful.
There is also a place to go tubing which is just the about the most fun thing ever. You get towed up the hill on a pulley, and then race your friends down a huge ice hill. The potential for injury is high, but the potential for awesomeness is even higher.
ALSO, also, right next to where we stay there is a pub. The grossest, most rednecky pub you can imagine. Like, there is no way in hell you would ever use the washroom there or god forbid eat anything from the kitchen. Even the mixed drinks are questionable. The pub parking lot is usually full of trucks with gun racks. There is a huge sign out front that says "Welcome Hunters".
We stick out like sore thumbs, despite the fact that we in no way look spectacular.
But you know what? The people are nice. Except that one time we almost got our asses kicked by a skanky girl and her huge boyfriend. Apparently we "looked" at her boyfriend wrong, and one of my friends almost got a high kick to the face. Seriously, the girls boot was literally an inch away. After that happened we had some other lady create a distraction by waving her arms all wildly and we hightailed it outta there. I only win hypothetical fights. I can jab, jab, upper, upper with the best of them, but if someone's actual face was on the recieving end I would likely cry.
K, I so need to see if I can find a picture of the pub now....
Classy right? I can't wait.
Happy Weekend!!

Hillbilly hole-in-the-wall bars are the BEST! Hope you have fun! And when you get back, you have an award waiting for you on my blog. :)
Your weekend sounds like it was going to be a blast. I love those little towns in New York... I used to work at a camp up there and I miss it so much!!! I cant wait to hear about it! And if you went tubing i hope you wore a helmet!!
That sounds freaking amazing. And I LOVE redneck pubs...found one located downtown not too long ago. So awesome.
