Camping season 2018

Its the the end of May and officially camping season! The kids get out of school on June 15th and that weekend we have a camping trip to Harper Ferry planned. I'm so excited for camping season to start this will be the beginning of a much needed family packed summer and I'm going to take it all in because I start nursing school August 27th and I will be pulling out my hair for the next 2 years and probably wont have much time to do anything.

 Nursing school has already ruined a late summer vacation we planned a trip up to lake placid and then over to Niagra Falls at the end of August we even all got passports to go into Canada and see the falls. We planned it for August 18th to the 28th but I just found out that I have a mandatory orientation on the 21st and school starts for me on the 27th. We even had my parents and Pauls parents going with us and we were all looking forward to seeing the falls. We are making lemonade out of lemons though and just canceling that trip and going somewhere else that's closer so that I can drive home and we plan on redoing that trip later.

I really am looking forward to camping I'm just not looking forward to all the packing and moving around. Were going to the Outbanks and Cherrystone then most likely to Cherrystone again in August and we plan on making little trips here and there wherever we can. This year we also are planning to let the kids bring a friend I think they're at the age where it would be fun and we know a couple of the parents that would be ok with us taking the kids for a weekend, and if doesn't work out then we just wont do it again.

It's funny every year around this time Paul always asks me if there anything or gadget that I would want for the trailer and every year I say no lol. I think it's just an excuse for him to go out and buy something that I have approved or something. I just feel like we already pack so much and we already have so much in the camper that just adding to the ciaos is just pointless. Plus this year I feel like is going to be tight as far as money goes because I have so much stuff to buy for school.

I was just looking through my old blogs and I've noticed my blogging has been seriously lacking these last couple of years camping. This is really just a personal diary and I'm pretty sure only family reads this but I hope to share it with my children when they're older .

Hershey Park November 2017

I had a field trip for school to philly so Paul loaded up the trailer alone and went to Hershey and I picked up the kids after I got home. The bus hit a lot of traffic on the way back home so we got home a half hour later then expected at 6pm. I went home a grabbed a couple of things and then picked up the kids and got gas and we were on our way. We hit a lot of traffic on the belt way in Baltimore but once we got to Pennsylvania it was pretty smooth sailing I think we got there around 830 or so. Paul already had a roaring fore going and we ate some left overs and enjoyed sitting by the fire.

Granite Hill fall 2017

Decided to take a weekend trip to Granite hill. I stayed home friday because I had a Chemistry and Nutrition test but I joined the kids and Paul Saturday early afternoon.
I got there and the kids were at the playground and they were really happy to see me. That night the campground had a little dance party the kids had so much fun and we had beautiful weather.
