Ready, set, CAMP!!

Last Saturday our heroine was sitting on the couch in a funk. Her lovely Sam tried all the usual fixes--the coffee house and the library were visited with no success. She would not be comforted. A grumpy morning turned into a grumpy afternoon, and the grump was spreading!! It is probably hard for you all to imagine that I can be moody (even I can't keep a straight face as I type that one) but occasionally, this sunny disposition just crumbles into something quite brooding and mysterious (not in a good way). Well, last Saturday when I looked at my Sam and saw that my cranky bad behavior was starting to be infectious, I knew we had to do something. Thinking about what would just completely shock and delight him, I suggested it was time that we go...

To Bavarian Euro-Disney? What?

German mini golfing, you say? No, crazy kids, despite what these pictures might indicate we went camping!!

Deep in the heart of Northeastern Georgia lies a Bavarian Village that time forgot, only a few thousand tourists a day visit it. And right outside Helen, GA (which I totally love, I freely admit it) is the Unicoi State Park where Sam and I reserved a place to tent camp at 2:00 on the day of our adventure. Seriously, we were THAT spontaneous! We didn't even own a tent when we concocted this scheme. We still think we are pretty charming and awesome for accomplishing this daring plot. Well, after we got in the truck, we got stuck in a Bavarian traffic jam and the fun really began!

I bet you can guess who thought to stick a finger in the general area of my nose as if it were mine:

The slow moving cars gave us plenty of time to chillax and think about how cool our new tent looked in the back of the truck. One of the first things we did after locating our campsite was to take a little walk around the lake loop. It was gorgeous!

Now in the back of your mind, you are probably thinking (weather channel addict that you are!) wasn't it like 105 degrees with 95% humidity last weekend in Georgia? You are right, it was. But you know, honestly, it didn't bother me a bit!

How could I be bothered by a little humidity when I was having an adventure? The night was gorgeous, despite what it did to tweak my lazy eye and flashlight holding capabilities.

And truly, we were having the time of our lives. :)

Believe it or not friends, I have been accepted as a volunteer and can't be late. There are more adventures to come, so stay tuned tomorrow when we see some incredible photographic artistry...
