Camping Trip

Katie and I decided that we really needed to get out camping before the weather got too bad. We had planned on going earlier, but it never worked out. So this last weekend (despite the ominous forcast) we packed up the car and set out on the road. Twenty-five minutes later, we arrived! :) Katie had to work on Sunday, so we just made it a one night trip, and thus chose a close camp ground.

Luckily the rain held off all night so we didn't have to set up in the rain. Our new tent is awesome...it only has two poles, so it takes just about a minute and a half to set it up! After we had everything set up, we started on dinner....and the drinks.

Our new Coleman Roadtrip Grill works perfect! It has interchangable surfaces, so we were able to use it to cook burgers, pan-fry potatoes and cook some blueberry pancakes the next morning!
Of course we brought the essentials, and spent the night sitting by the fire roasting some 'mallows. They were so good, we decided we needed to have some more the next day for lunch!

The Perfect Marshmallow

It ended up raining all night, but our tent kept us perfectly dry. It was a short trip, but fun. We'll see if the weather will allow us to go again this year, if not we'll definately get out in the spring!
