…last weekend my husband and I went camping. Yay! We roughed it a little bit. There is nothing better for us humans than getting completely AWAY from all technology, and being surrounded by nature. So good for the soul. And that is what we did. I turned the big 3-0 (woah, totally crept up on me) last week and that was my birthday wish, no big party girl here, I wanted all the peacefulness & serenity I could ask for, quality time with my best friend and beautiful scenery. And that is what I got. Purrrrfection.
These are my favorite aspects of going camping.
The Road Trip- good conversations, good music and/or talk radio, interesting roadside scenery. It’s all part of the great bonding experience of getting away from it all.
The Pit Stops- from the fill-ups, stretches, supplies, snacks, beverages (coffees!!!), to the much needed “relief” from drinking all those beverages. And There is always a story that comes out of the pit stops, always. They add to the memory of the whole trip.

The Destination: arriving, getting situated, unpacked, and exploring your surroundings. The fun begins, you begin to relax and soak it all in, enjoying every second.
snappybex …It’s game on, once that tent is up.
iMarfin …doing some straight up chillin’…
TheCoppertop …exploring the great outdoors. :D
frankieleon …these have to be the most classic camping food of choice besides marshmallows. ;P
SmartMarmot …nothing quite like enjoying a sunset while being on a lake. If you were to miss it, you’re nuts.
Spynx Minx …polishing off a night with a nice bonfire.
…That was our trip in a nutshell…with these kitties substituting “us”. A lot cuter and more interesting that way. :)
…Any campers amongst you? I am certainly not hardcore…I go like once every year maybe, but always really enjoy it!
