Bruise 1
This is just after I noticed that I had the bruise.The cast of characters: Me, my bro, my sis-in-law, her friend and a chorus of Army officers.
The plan: breakfast (at IHOP!!!), then an afternoon of white water rafting.

We were delayed a bit b/c the Army's finest had to grab some beer so that they could pre-party before heading down the river. Don't you feel better about our nation's safety?

We got home and crashed out pretty much for the rest of the day. After a big

Later that day...the lighting change makes it look that much worse! nap we surveyed our wounds. My bruise was getting even better and the bro had a nasty sunburn on his thighs. Somehow the sis-in-law came out alright. Then again, she took most of the water head-on.
Good times.
