Well, I had a wonderful post I wrote last night about day two of our three-day, mid-week vacation, but the Blogger app is still saying it is saving and I can't get to it. Oh well, I'll just wite the short, short version.
Oh, there will be pictures, but they're mostly on the camera still... so stay tuned for that.
Anyhow, yesterday was a wonderful day. Since Boo and I both tend to be hit the ground running kind of people, we actually had breakfast eaten and cleaned up a d were on a trail by 9:00. We hiked a bit, a lot of up hill climb was involved, including some beautiful running water and foliage.
After the hike we went to the park office and poked around. Then drove into Forksville (yes, that is a real place)and stopped at the general store and got ice, a fire starter and a bundle of fire wood yes, this Girl Scout cheated and used a commercial fire starter...
Then it was back to camp for a bit of quiet time (and I got a nap), then some lunch. In the afternoon we went back to where the camp office is and there is a swimming area in the creek roped off. (The creek is almost a small river at this point by my standards....)
This time we had a real, if not my most beautiful, fire and s'mores.
I will tell you this, the nights were very chilly. And our tent was under trees and we'll shaded most of the day. It was beautiful.
So, after a snuggle to be warm this morning, we breakfasted and broke camp in a leisurely manner. Then it was on the road to Knobel's!
We got to the park a little after 11. We rode several rides, including the log flume. Boo panned for gems, which is a favorite activity of his. We had lunch and ice cream as well in there. We ended up leaving the park right about 3, and met Gak at Red Robin right about 6 after a stop at Cabella's on the way home.
I'm so very glad to have had this little vacation. We needed it. Gak got a lot of things done he wanted to get done, and all three of us are happier for these three days.
Peace to play and may your vacations be wonderful.
