Our vacation....

We left for our vacation last Wednesday. As soon as we arrived at our destination we set up our campsite. This campground is one of our favorites. The people running it are very easy going and all the campers are so friendly. The campsites are quite large and very private. My grand daughter wanted to go visit her cousin so we dropped her off there and she spent the night with them. The following day it was pouring rain. It rained hard all day. It wasn't a nice day at all. We went to visit my sister and she asked us to stay the night at her house that night since it was so cold and damp. It was nice to sleep in a warm, dry bed instead of a wet, cool tent. We visited two of my sister that day. It was nice to spend some quality time with them. It doesn't happen often enough. We caught up on all the latest and what was going on in our families. Friday we headed back up to the campground. It was sunny that day but a bit windy. We spent the day at the pool and in the playground. There was always lots to do. There are so many great trails to walk. We had an awesome meal on the bbq. That evening we had a campfire and toasted some marshmallows. The night was really chilly though. It dropped down to 6C (42F) so we had to all snuggle to keep warm. I was thankful for the new sleeping bag I recently bought. It did keep me warm. When we got up in the morning it was still a bit chilly so we lit another fire and cooked our breakfast over the campfire. We had eggs, bacon, toast and beans. It was really good. Breakfast always seems to taste do much better over an open fire. It didn't take long to warm up. We went into town for a bit and did some shopping and then we came back and headed to the pool. We spent a good part of the day in there. The water was really warm but the air was still a bit cool. We didn't let it ruin our fun. That evening we had another campfire. There was a band playing in the park so we had awesome entertainment until about 11pm. We stayed up until midnight or a little after. My grand daughter went to bed earlier. She was tired from a day of swimming. She is quite the little fish. She sure can swim. She loves the water. It wasn't quite as cool that night but it was still chillier then normal for this time of year. The next morning we got up and had breakfast then my niece came and picked up our grand daughter and took her to hang out with her daughter for the day and night. So my finance and I had the day to ourselves. We went and spent some time at the beach then my sister and her husband came over to the campground for a visit which was nice. The night it was nice and mild. We sat up and talked and listened to music until 2:30 am which was nice. The next morning we packed everything up and went to pick up our grand daughter. We visited with my niece for a while and then we hit the road. It was a nice, relaxing vacation. Just what I needed. My grand daughter had so much fun she slept most of the way home. Of course now that we are back home and back to work the temperature are above average for this time of year and are suppose to stay that way all week. This week would have been perfect for tenting.
