Camping

Brad and I went camping this past weekend for the first time in FOREVER!!! Our trip was to celebrate our anniversary(which isn't until May 11th, but the month of May is too crazy to ever be able to celebrate). It was so fun as we set up camp to reminisce about some of our camping gear. Most of it we received for my bridal shower and as wedding gifts. Best gifts ever!!! We have 2 big Tupperware containers that over the years I've been throwing stuff in that I thought could be useful on camping trips, and I was impressed that we ended up using most of it. It was so wonderful to get away and especially to get away from technology for a bit. It was so peaceful. We went to bed early and woke up at 7am every day, which is not our norm. The beach was AMAZING!!! We seriously wanted to move there after coming back to Tally. The breeze, ocean, and lack of allergies...sigh, that would be the life! We spent all of Saturday on the beach boogie boarding. So.much.fun! Except I have a bruise on by ribs from hitting the board all day. So worth it. We spent some time in Seaside and WaterColor, those towns are so cute. We drove home on Hwy 98, instead of taking I-10. It was fun to see the coast line all the way home. We definitely will be doing so more camping in the near future. and will be taking Raelee with us. Her feelings were hurt that she was left at home. She kept saying "me go to!" "me go camping!". I know that she had a blast at my parents house though. It so nice to live by all our family and to have help with Raelee. Definitely not something I take for granted.
