Our Camping Weekend!

This past weekend we decided to escape the city and head out to a local State Forest with some friends. We packed up our buddy Felicia's truck and headed for Myles Standish State Forest with her lovah-man Alexander. After about 2 hours sitting in Friday Boston traffic we finally arrived to partake in #Camping2K11 which involved three campsites,14 great friends and one toddler.


Now I want to come clean here and announce I whined the whole time we drove there:

• "Look at this damn traffic!"
• "It's 103° out!" (it really was! Highest temp recorded in Boston since 1926!).
• "We're going to melt!"
• "Camping sucks! Let's just get a Motel down the cape!"
• "Ewwwww we're in the middle of nowhere!!"

Yes I'm a whiner. Now you know. After we arrived and set up it was time for a swim to cool down and try to relax about the fact we were in the wilderness. I guess I'm a city slicker at heart even though I go camping twice a summer normally. Will I ever learn? We stayed Friday and Saturday night and then left early Sunday morning. All in all it was a nice weekend that was spent with lots of friends, grilled food, ponds and campfires. I suppose I should complain less?

Here is our campsite and the first campfire of the weekend :)

The next morning the Smoke Monster invaded our site.

Guerilla Marketing at the campground! YOU KNOW!

Vegan Smorgasbord! Smart Dogs, Veggie Burgers, Vegggie Chick'n and Corn on the Cob.

At night time we got a little silly :)

Our tent is large enough for all of our things, a blow up mattress for Mommy and Daddy and Sierra's Pack N' Play! Sierra is an expert at zippers so she sure as hell let us know when she was awake in the morning! PEEK A BOO!
