Another post in our First on Friday series where we try something new!
David and I used to camp together.
We camped across the country:
David outside our old tent in Texas Canyon in 2003 on our way home to New Mexico from the east coast
We camped in our backyard for several nights after our wedding as a mini-honeymoon before the big honeymoon several months later:
With the wedding decorations still up in 2005 (ugh, pardon the blurry photo)
We camped in beautiful places:
At the Great Sand Dues in 2006
And then we had a kid. Since this event we’ve slept in a tent a total of one night IN OUR BACKYARD. LAST YEAR. TO TRY IT OUT. I know, pathetic. To say it was time to try it again was a bit of a understatement.
Yesterday we headed out to a State Park close to home for a one-night trip. Luckily when you live in Northern California you don’t need to go far to find someplace absolutely beautiful. Less than an hour away may not sound terribly exciting, but we’ve been feeling giddy over it and loved our trip.
Here’s how it went down:
All three of us enjoyed being in nature, doing something new together, and getting away from the fray.
Our getaway was so needed, so restful, such fun… and I am so looking forward to doing it again.
The best part though is that it’s Friday and we have the whole weekend ahead of us! Have a good one!
How fun! Wow, look at that fog rolling in – great photos!!
An hour away is not pathetic! An hour from my house is the Umpqua National Forest – loaded with camping areas near waterfalls! Two hours west are the redwoods! We are so lucky to be living in such beautiful country. What fun to share something you love with your little girl. :)
Hugs,
