so we planned one. camping. now, the thing with camping is that it takes you much longer to prepare to be away from all aspects of civilization than you spend actually using everything packed in your SUV, but still … i love camping. being in the great outdoors with nothing to do, but hike and read and sleep and eat smores. the day was perfect and we did all the aforementioned things and also found time to coast into a little town and eat a little ice cream (yes, my new-no-sugar diet was put on hold).
Our day looked like this:
and, our night … well, let’s just say that our lovely day turned into a bit of lovely lightening. we decided that we love to camp, but we do not like lightening. or leaky tents.
(forgive my voice – i’ve been sick for close to a week now. what you cannot see is just how soaked to the bone we were. chili – which you could not see at all during any part of the video was mimicking someone who has rigor mortis. we just about had to carry her to the car. poor thing is a bit scared of loud noises and the thunder and lightening were not doing her any favors. us either.)
we drove home through a fireworks show of lightening. it was really quite spectacular. in a car. not in a tent. we were bummed to wake up this morning in our own beds, but we were not bummed sleeping in it.
hope your weekend was as adventurous as ours!
