A Camping Birthday

At the end of September, we went camping at Lake of the Pines for my 29th birthday. I am not the most outdoorsy girl ever. I would consider myself moderately outdoorsy. Let's just say I carried around the hand soap, and visited the bathroom more than several times a day to run my hands under running water.

The accommodations were actually very nice, and we were close to the showers/bathrooms.

About 15 minutes after we arrived, this moderately outdoorsy girl tripped over a tree stump and skinned her knee pretty badly. So much so that I was worried about either developing cellulitis over the weekend, or contracting a rare flesh eating bacteria. I used to watch too much Grey's Anatomy.

All in all, we had a great time. We ate yummy food, relaxed, read, sketched, took walks, and just enjoyed the weekend without constantly being on the go and watching the clock. There was a no-burn ban, so we had to bring a propane grill to cook our food, but it all worked out. We survived on burgers, sausages, potato salad, pasta salad, fruit, and snacks. Like poptarts. And a Nothing Bundt Cake birthday treat.

The dogs were exhausted each night from all of our activities and being outside all day. It was so cute to see professor curled up like a little bear each night to sleep.

We are looking forward to our next camping trip.

Here is a fun video that Yung made from our weekend.

Enjoy!
