Our Maiden Voyage

I have been trying all day to write a synopsis of our great camping trip. But, there is so much to write and just not enough time. (OK so we had VBS this morning and laundry to the ceiling and our nephew is visiting and hubby took the day off AND FSU's CWS game.) So, I am going to post pictures and highlights. Hopefully, in years to come, that will be enough to jog our memory of the maiden voyage of "Angel." (What we decided to name the camper.)

Highlight 1: It took us AT LEAST 45 minutes to get out of the backyard. It was like threading a needle. Hubby was very, very patient but came very, very close to taking a chainsaw to the fence!

Highlight 2: Hubby and I make a pretty good team.

Highlight 3: The campsite we were assigned was not meant for a 29 foot travel trailer, at least not one on it's maiden voyage. But everyone there promised us it would never again be that difficult getting into a campsite.

Highlight 4: My kids and my hubby meet friends everywhere. No one is a stranger. And our camping trip was no exception.

Highlight 6: Our "neighbors" were from the town where my hubby goes hunting every year.

Highlight 7: Our site was RIGHT ON the beach.

Highlight 8: We love our new camper and all of its little extras. (Even though I said we wouldn't use any of them and ended up using most of them. ;)

Highlight 9: Celebrated our "neighbor's" daughter's 5th birthday with them by grilling out together and having brownie birthday cake.

Highlight 10: Took our "baths" in the pool.

Highlight 11: Caught jellyfish, 3 types of crabs and baby shrimp.

Highlight 12: The kids got to go jet skiing. And so did daddy. Camping people are really, very, hospitable.

Highlight 13: Getting out of the campsite was just as hard, if not harder, than getting in. Camping people are really, very, helpful.

Highlight 14: Next time hubby will take off the Monday so we can stay longer.

Highlight 15: We can't wait to do it again!

I am positive there is more. My brain is in overload just thinking about it all. I really, really am blessed just by the mere fact they were are able to do this together as a family. AND, that we had a great time doing it . . .
