Camping

For our wedding we got a lot of camping gear so we figured we'd try it out. I was so excited to get out into the wilderness with nothing but my husband and dog!

I had the responsibility of finding the campsite so I randomly picked one by a lake so Vic could fish, obviously. When we showed up we drove into a golf course. "Are you sure this is the place?" Vic asked me. "Over there I see tents!" I excitedly exclaimed. What I really saw were parking spaces with gravel for a tent. Nothing like the camping I imagined. We soon found out that I booked our wilderness adventure at a resort! We thought about going back home and camping in our backyard but we already paid for it and since we're poor we were not about to waist $30!

We unpacked, got the tent set up and explored our resort. It ended up being a total blast! We were able to rent a boat and took Ranger out on his first boat ride. Would we camp at that place again? Absolutely not! But it was a very fun weekend :)

What a hunk rowing us out into the lake! ;)

Poor buddy was cold so he snuggled up under Vic's sweatshirt!

My very first fishing experience!

Arcade

Vic and I were desperately in need of a date so while his parents were in town this last weekend they sent us off for an afternoon alone. We didn't have anywhere in mind so we just drove. We ended up at this small old arcade. It was a blast and just what we needed! We played some games, hit the jackpot at a broken game, and won some Dino toys for the little guys I nanny! It was a fun, refreshing, and carefree couple if hours. Thanks Jim and Jill!
