we decided to cut our drive in half and camp on our friend bob's land in monterey, tn. our first solo camping trip - a success. we cooked a most delicious meal of pork chops + veggies and didn't die of food poisoning! and we survived the night w/o being attacked by a mountain lion or an escaped con hiding out in the tennessee backwoods (okay - just maybe both fears kept me up half the night!).
{note to self} a few must-haves for future camping excursions:
1 // more layers ... brr!
2 // alcohol or nyquil ... and an air mattress. {aka sleep!}
3 // matches! thank goodness for the cigarette lighter in the truck + 1 determined husband. woops.
all good lessons to have learned before recruiting a group to rough it w/ us! i'm pretty excited for our first little overnight family camping trip in october w/ a few of our favorites and their kiddos.
