Last week was the familys' birthdays. Fawn and Atreyu both had their special day last week. Monday for the boy and Sunday for my lady. I managed through some miracle to end up with a Saturday off so we headed out.
Small trip, small post.
We spent Saturday day running errands and looking at houses. Atreyu and I got to do some grocery shopping and hit up a book fair. That after noon with the car way too packed for an overnight we headed out. Destination; camping, anywhere. Atreyu is an amazing driving force to get out into the woods. He loves it outside. He will pull the tent out of the closet and say "camp camp Trey camp" how does one say no to that? We drive a few short miles out to a state park right off I5 called Paradise Point. Small park not too impressive. We snagged what I think is the best site in the whole campground, had to tote all our gear about 50 yards, but no big deal. Fire pit and table, both clean and maintained. Pit toilet near by and a flush with showers across the way. Only $12 a night for our walk in spot.
After the baby went to sleep fawn and I laid out and looked at stars for a bit but unfortunately there was still quite a bit of light pollution do we didn't get to see too much. Sunday we strolled down to the river. It was quiet, a little muddy and the water level was low, but we got to see a heron and some good animal prints in the mud. It was a good chance to test out Fawns new camera. Poor Relly hurt her foot on the walk and pulled a nail, vet said its fine Just keep it clean. We stopped for food at this tiny little diner that had the best food. Had to go a little out of the way for a farm stand and found the most beautiful tomatoes and some really nice corn. Swing by the old grist mill on the way home. Pretty nice overnight.
