Cool weather means one thing for us: camping. While I'm battling yet another sinus infection, we agreed some fresh air would do us some good. Our 2 week camping adventure this summer proved to be one of the most exciting vacations we've experienced together. When you're campsite in NYC is outside of Brooklyn and you have to pay $10 each person for a shower, or in Washington, D.C. where we had torrential downpours for 2 days, you would have thought we could have waited a while to camp again. With 55 degrees on the forecast, we just couldn't resist.
Date #5: Try Tent Camping
We set out to Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Friday evening but not before I led Kaden on a scavenger hunt. Since living in Alabama, Kaden discovered "Golden Flake" chips and if you're from Alabama, you know you can't go anywhere without a bag or two.
Last year, we camped at Tannehill for the Texas A&M game, and when Alabama lost, we heard some crazy Alabama fan "chopping down a tree" after the game. We were excited for the hype this year. Let me first mention that Tannehill is known for a great RV park. We turned the corner and you saw Alabama decorations at its finest!
P.S. We talked to several people and they said some RV's have reserved their spots for a WHOLE MONTH for Halloween. Obviously, the week before Halloween is the time to go to see all the decorations!
As we approached the "Primitive Camping" area, we quickly found a spot nestled behind the creek. We spent Saturday exploring Tannehill and Daisy LOVED IT. Living in our condo she doesn't get to experience the "country life" but this weekend she fell in love with the great outdoors. She even jumped in the creek by herself! She also had her 1st red wasp sting on the snout. One trip to the Pharmacy and a bottle of Children's Benadryl, she was back to herself in no time.
How did we watch the Alabama game? Listening to Eli Gold, of course. With hotdog in hand, and maybe a few smores too, we had the chance to hear the Touchdowns first at Tannehill. All of the RV's have satellites so they are delayed about 5 seconds. It was awesome hearing the screaming and cheering from our campsite!
On such a beautiful weekend, we couldn't help but talk about what we think Heaven will be like! We hope you enjoy your week & if you ever get a chance to visit Tannehill, definitely give it a try!
