Jess really wanted to go camping before all the preggers got too big and uncomfy - so a camping we did go.
Just over to Tomoka State Park which was about 15 mins away from where the Mehegans live....so Tom's first camping trip really didn't count. Sarah's did though - since it was over an hour away for them. Friday night half of us got there and set up in the dark. That was fun. It was cold and windy and we went to bed pretty early that night just so we could get warm in our blankets. Sleeping on an air mattress is much better than sleeping on the ground. The next morning the Mehegans woke us up, followed by Lewis and Sarah, and then Shannon completed the group. We had 6 tents on one site and you're really only supposed to have like 2 or 3 on each site. The cars were parked in a tetris on the site next door. A cute park boy told us "for future reference" that there were to be fewer tents to one site next time. We went wandering around lookin' for water and found the river....along with some raccoon poo and a gift shop with ice cream. Casey demonstrated her talents on a bomb pop and gave her self a blue tongue. The walk back was rewarded with grilled meat and chili. Scary stories were read, rum was killed, beer was chugged, jiffy pop popped, smores built, and yes....of course I puked. I am That Girl.
Chili looks exactly the same in a puddle on the ground just outside of the tent as it does in a foam bowl to be eaten with a plastic fork. A shovel and the dogs helped with cleanup. The morning was bright and headachey and our tent city came down within minutes.
Impact nothing.
