Camping Out

Ross and I went camping about two weeks ago at Chewacla State Park. He got camping gear for Christmas and we had been wanting to try it out for a while. We decided not to take EK this time and that was definitely a good decision.

The weather was perfect. We hiked back to a beautiful waterfall and climbed around on the rocks. We returned to our campsite to have some sandwiches. However, that is hard to do when you don't bring any bread. That was my fault. We went to a sub shop instead. But we did eat our supper outside. Doesn't that count?

After supper we got in the tent and played cards. We ended up watching several episodes of Frasier on our laptop before going to bed. We had two sleeping bags but no blow up matress to speak of. Ross snuggled up to a few roots during the night. I don't think they were very cozy.

The next morning we had planned on cooking breakfast. However that's hard to do when you don't bring a pot to boil water in. Once again I will accept the blame here. We opted to pack up and head to Cracker Barrel.

So that was our first attempt at camping. We were really roughin' it, right? Be assured that our camping future has a pack list in sight with a blow up mattress and ALL of our needed amenities on it.

Aw, how fun! Those are some great pictures!

Welley,
Nice job "accidentally" forgetting to pack the bread and pot. I see through your plan. You had subs and Cracker Barrell in mind the whole time didn't you? :)

How fun- you look beautiful! Did you seriously not bring bread or a pot? Even if you ate out- sleeping on hard ground is roughing it in my book!

Looks like fun! You could be a camping model- because it would take a lot of beautiful models and some hot cash to make me camp outside. You are a good woman, Amy.
