Camping Experience!

Hello friends. This past weekend me, Andre and the kids went camping at FDR State Park and had a wonderful experience. The park is absolutely beautiful, the temperature was exactly right and except for the after effect of the insect bites everything was perfect. We left around midday on Friday and since its only a couple of hours away we got there around 2:30 p.m. We setup camp within the hour. (You would have thought we were experienced campers). We then spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying nature. The next day after breakfast we decided to check out the hiking trails in the park. After stopping at the registration office, Andre asks what was the one thing we shouldn't miss in that area, and were told that we should see the Little White House. (FDR's Georgia home). And as a bonus, Saturday June 14th, was the one day out of the year that admission was free! The museum and home is certainly interesting and I would recommend that you go there. While there, a huge thunderstorm started brewing so we raced back to camp to try to put things away before the rain. We made it and I had the great idea of putting up a tarp for cover in case of rain. So between the four of us we actually got a cover up with a tarp, rope and trees. And boy are we glad we did because it poured!! We stayed nice and dry :-) After a delicious meal prepared over an open fire we all slept like babies. On Sunday I was sad to leave. I think I would have enjoyed a few more days. Well, here's to more camping adventures in the future. I can hardly wait.
