Whoops - Wrong Weekend

Friday afternoon, I get my car all packed:
1. Four bikes - two mountain, two road. Check.
2. Entertainment for the room - DVDs, music, iPAD, kindle. Check.
3. Clothes - lounging, dining, riding, shoes. Check.
4. Nutrition - Green juice for breakfast, water. Check.
5. Drugs - Melatonin, Benadryl. Check.
6. Knitting - Check.

So, the car is all packed. I call the B&B where we're (I think) scheduled to spend the weekend to ask a simple question. Question asked and answered. Out the door we head.

Me: Hello?
B&B: Joan?
Me: No, it's just Jo.
B&B: Oh. Uhm. Is this Joan Escher?
Me: No....
B&B: Well, did you say you're staying in the Bishops Retreat this weekend?
Me: Yes....
B&B: Well, we have that reserved for Joan and Steve Escher.
Me: I have a confirmation e-mail - let me pull it up and read it to you.

So, upstairs I go to the e-mail and read it out to them:

Me: See, it says "We have confirmed your reservation for 18 - 19 April..."
B&B: Uhm...ma'am. Today is the 11th.
Me: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

And that's how we ended up at Kelly's Ford (near Culpeper) last weekend instead of By the Side of the Road Inn (in Harrisonburg). But hey - there's a good road bike route in Culpeper. Not all is lost, right?
But first, let's go kayaking!

According to the inn, where we rented the kayaks, it was a two hour trip downriver. They were very explicit about where to take out of the river. Do NOT pass the take out point, they say, as it will be an additional $50 per person because the next take out point is 7 miles away and we have to lug the kayaks for half a mile. You can see the take out point by a big white sign that says Kelly's Ford on it. No worries, say we, two hours is the perfect duration.
We're kayaking along. The current is great. There are these amazing flowers along the side of the river.

There are even a few class one rapids - which is all I can handle as a novice. I'm not sure they quite qualify as  class one, but at least the river was moving along nicely.

40 minutes later - there's the sign.
WTF?!

So, we pulled the boats in,

and started hoofing it - until the SigO got a signal and got us some help.
So, now it's time to go ride our bikes, right?
Uhm...right?
Yeah - not so much. Not with a good book (The Invention of Wings) and this cozy hammock calling my name.

Finished the book. Ate it all up in one day.

Had a great weekend, despite the last minute shuffle of plans. Next weekend is the real deal in Harrisonburg. 

I hope.
