Camping

I have been camping since I was roughly 10 years old (give or take a few years). My family had a pop up camper which we towed all around Georgia. I have many happy memories with my family camping, playing hearts, roasting marshmallows, hiking and exploring the near by sites of each location. So, when Matt purchased us a tent one Christmas, early in our marriage, I was over the moon. And, over our 14 years together we have enjoyed tent camping. The last few years we contemplated purchasing a travel trailer camper, figuring it would be easier to camp with Zachary & our 4 Chihuahua's in tow. We spent some time researching campers, educating ourselves and determining exactly what we needed. We ended up going in on the purchase of a Coachmen Catalina travel trailer with my parents. None of us have a vehicle that is capable of towing anything so we found a campground in north Georgia that offers storage. This past weekend we enjoyed settling into our new favorite vacation spot- the North Georgia mountains! I have found camping a great time to pull out my camera and practice with ISO & F stops! Here's a few of my favorite pictures from this weekend: Nacho Padre & Bingo Patoodoe

Zachary had his first experience fishing at the campground lake. Luckily, the only thing he "caught" were worms for this excursion. Though I am looking forward to seeing his reaction when he actually catches a fish. I have no idea how he will react & if will continue to want to fish or give up the hobby all together. Until then he is content to cast his line with Nonnie by his side.

Every now and again, Zachary takes a well deserved break from the arduous task of fishing visit the near by horses.

I hope to get more pictures of our trip up later...it's night night time for one little 3 year old boy.
