Camping Trip Adventures

There a few things I love more than a fun camping trip with my husband. There is something magical about the smell of a campfire, the sound of burning wood, sleeping under a blanket of stars and the uninterrupted silence of the outdoors. So, this past weekend we went on a camping trip in to get in touch with nature and get away from it all. Don't get me wrong, though. We still enjoy the modern conveniences of water and electricity at our campsites. :)

We set up camp at this nice campground with a mountain stream running right by our site. The weather was beautiful and we had the tent up in no time. As Paul chopped fire wood, I was Suzy Tent-Maker and made up our bed in the tent. At night, the campfire was the main attraction and we sat by it late into the night talking about everything we could think of. This may be one of the biggest reasons I love to camp. It gives us time to talk without the interruptions of the TV, computer or cell phones. We always have a great time. 

We ventured over to a park across the road to grill out. For some reason Paul makes the best burgers on a charcoal grill in the middle of nowhere and it is a must do when we camp. Once again, he made the juiciest, most delicious burgers and we devoured them quickly. We even had a wild turkey sighting as we waited for the burgers to cook.

I love our spontaneous weekend trips that are filled with fun, conversation and laughter. Oh, and s'mores. It wouldn't be a proper camping trip without the s'mores.
