Summer Lovin’
The weather here is Great!
Heheh are you fascinated yet? San Antonio is bizarre. I moved here from central Arkansas so the idea of 80 degree weather a week out from Thanksgiving isn’t terribly unusual but the consistency of it is!
With the warm temperatures, Chris and I are tempted to make a trip down to the beach for the long weekend. That got me to thinking of our trip down over Labor Day.
I’d never been beach camping before and was a bit concerned about how it would go. Not only had I not been camping for over a decade, I was afraid all that damn sand would make me crazy!
As you can see, it kind of did!
We went camping on Mustang Island and it was just short of perfect. Plenty of fresh running water, reasonable cost, good friends, and lots of sun and water.
We did have to buy a new tent though
There’s Chris getting ready to take it down on the last day.
Word of advice, when you set up a new tent for the first time, make sure you can read the directions and everyone’s sober! We rolled into camp at 9.30 pm to be met by our engineering friend who had gotten into the wine a little too much. New tent combined with no light and a drunk engineer makes for good times…when all you have to do is hold the lantern and watch!
There’s a picture of our creature friend. I have no clue what she is, but she loved to eat our sunflower seeds and bite the boys ankles. That was fantastic-the guys would be eating and suddenly “Squeee!” She kept us endlessly entertained.
Camping on Mustang Island was fantastic. I’m thoroughly addicted to beach camping and have refused to go camping anywhere else. I happily plan to camp down there at least a few times a month next summer!
