Shane and I spent the weekend camping with friends over in Dosewallips State Park on the Olympic Peninsula. It was a perfect weekend to enjoy the outdoors (minus the rain that set in around 11 this morning – thank goodness we packed up camp early). Sipping Coronas from our lawn chairs in the sun, toasting marshmallows around a blazing fire, waking up to the sound of breeze in the trees… This is the stuff camping is made of.
Despite the temptation to sit around the site and eat/drink/chat/doze/be lazy, we did decide to burn off some of those s’mores by taking a short hike on one of the trails in Olympic National Park. Every time I get out into the woods, I am reminded of how much I love the color GREEN… I was especially taken with the moss that crawled and dripped over the rocks and trees.
And Shane is reminded of how much he loves to skip rocks (seriously, this guy could go at it for hours).
This was a great little getaway. But I’ve discovered that I’m definitely just a weekend camper – I always enjoy myself, but by Sunday afternoon, I’m ready for a shower, a hot cup of tea, and an evening on the couch. Watching the rain fall from the comfort of our living room feels pretty good right now.
