More Catching up......

In December 2007, my family, Howie and Mike Meadows, made a trip up to Boston to "Eagles Deli" to see if we could eat a 5 pound cheeseburger and 5 pounds of Fries.  Once we got there, we backed off a bit and ordered the 3 pounder (6 1/2 pound patties!) and 5 pounds of fries.  Howie and myself finished the burger but not the fries. Click HERE for the disgusting photos.

On Aug 19, we left for a seven day cruise on the Carnival Legend. We had our cruise itinerary changed to the Bahamas due to Hurricane Dean. We had seven straight days of sunshine and flat seas. For all the pictures, CLICK HERE

Howie, Tommy and myself drove down to Frankie's beach house in Carolina Beach, NC. We went Wave Running, Played Tennis, went drinking, played some poker and ate like pigs. 

FUN but a hellava drive. Maybe we will try to do something closer next year. Ocean City, MD?? MORE photos from the Guys Getaway 2007. Click Here

Winter Camping 2007

This years crew was Tommy, Paul, Howie, Paul's friend Al and myself. We got a different shelter this year. It is big and roomy. It has full sun so there is little or no ice/snow. 

Plus there is a humongous grass field right there where we can play sports. We had a ridiculous amount of food but what else is new.  CLICK HERE to see photos and video.
