Camping!

Last weekend we met Ben's brother and his girlfriend in Pennsylvania to go camping.  We have been to this campground a dozen or more times and know exactly how long it takes to get there.  On Saturday morning we took our time getting ready and packing and we planned to leave at 12.  Woopsie, 12 turned into 12:30 and we were on our way. 

An hour into our drive we are cruising along and all of a sudden there is this horrible scraping noise (I knew we had not blown a tire because we did that 3 times last year so I now know what that sounds like).  Ben pulled over as fast as he could and we were crammed into this teeny, tiny little space on the left side of the highway.  Ben got out to investigate and found this:

                                
So after we called AAA and got towed down the road, we learned that all we needed was a new screw because the screw had broken due to old age (or something).  So yay!  We were at Sears for about 15 minutes and then we were on our way again.

Once we got to the campsite (almost 2 hours late) we set-up our tent and started a fire. 

                                      

                                          

 

Once Ben's brother and his girlfriend got back from white water rafting we enjoyed a good evening with hot dogs, cheese balls, s'mores, roasted corn, and card playing. 

I had such a great weekend and really enjoyed "being out in nature".  After getting home Sunday afternoon I just sat out on our balcony and relaxed.  I wonder if maybe someday we will live out in the
middle of nowhere and enjoy nature all the time....
