Last weekend we went camping. backpacking to be specific. I successfully urinated in the wild. TMI (too much information) Other than that it was a great weekend! we hiked in a couple miles and set up our camp. we went on a little hike and saw a bear. i was freaked out because we were so close to our camp. but all was well, there were no bear attacks. at about dusk there were thousands of fireflys out. it was so cool. they were twinkling like little stars.. in bushes. we went to bed really early (we think). We slept in til 9!! that is late fore me when i'm in a bed with a pillow, practically un heard of in a tent with no padding and no pillow. Incredible. after breakfast we went on a 2-3 mile hike to a cabin then went and packed up our camp. after our hike back to the car we were so hot and sweaty (just from hiking) we decided to take a dip in the freezing cold (buggy) river. it was so fun. to finish off the weekend we drove the scenic way through the park back to Oakton. only one weekend left before we start our journey back. crazy.
