Regardless, we arrived at our campsite around 10pm, had to set up in the dark, and proceeded to make a fire so that we could eat some food, drink a clandestine beer (alcohol is banned in the state parks, but we like to be sneaky), and then go to bed. Lilah may or may not have decided that she was going to curl up all 75 pounds of her in between my knees. Yes, that dog is amazing. And by amazing, I mean a jerk. Not really. Well, at least not most of the time.
Saturday morning involved dutch oven egg bake making and lots of delicious French press coffee. After our ridiculously huge breakfast, we set out on a five mile hike around Lake Habeeb. It was a gorgeous trail with plenty of little spots for us to stop and let Lilah swim. Hiking and swimming all day long? Lilah was on cloud nine.
After our long afternoon, we returned to our campsite for some chips and salsa and more clandestine beer. See how sneaky Andrew was being?
We woke up to rain on Sunday morning, so quickly made a pancake and bacon breakfast and then packed our things up to head back home. Despite it being a quick trip, it was great to be able to relax and not have any obligations. Phones were turned off because there was no reception anyway. House projects were put on hold. No errands needed to be run. We could do whatever we wanted to do in the moment. And the best part about today? Lilah has been passed out sleeping in the living room all day. Not a peep. :)
How was your weekend? Did you do anything adventurous?
we almost ALWAYS arrive to camp in the middle of the freaking night... which, i guess makes the morning WAY more exciting- who knows what you'll see?! haha
ReplyDeletealso.. this year, we went camping for my birthday, too! you know some cool folks, i must say... (;
this past weekend, we road tripped out to Scottsdale, AZ, to help my best friend move (into a house with a former professional football player, no less)... and there was a monsoon type storm... and a terribly hot sleeping situation... but adventurous nonetheless...
Looks like a lovely vacation! Breakfast is always the best part of camping :) I tried to make two dogs love each other all weekend :)

ReplyDeleteoh this looks so lovely! what a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a relaxing time! Sounds like the three of you had a blast. I'm not much of a camper, but I am impressed with the food! Feel free to share that enchilada recipe with us. :-)
ReplyDeleteI went "princess" camping a few weeks ago, and I loved that my phone didn't work, I couldn't text or call anyone, no one could reach me, emails couldn't be sent or received etc. It was SO relaxing! Glad you had a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis look so fun! Hey I was looking at your sponsor page but couldn't find your page views anywhere. Could you give me your monthly stats? :-)
ReplyDeleteI just could not see myself camping! My husband and I like the outdoors but not enough to camp. :) It looks like a beautiful spot, though, and your food looks amazing. Plus, I think Lilah and Casey would be good friends.
