Woodsy Woman?

I'm going camping today. My son has been on my case to go to the beach and to go camping. My best friend and I did this last year with our kids, and of course we'll do it again in August, but the boy was really wanting to go. I enjoy camping. I like a camper best because I'm just that high maintenance... but I like tent camping as well. I've camped in the back of my Aztek with the tent on it NUMEROUS times. Good fun!

Anyway I decided camping sounded like fun, so I called my sister. --She's like the camping queen!-- She's got it all down to a science that woman. So I called her up and asked if she'd like to go, and she agreed. We had another couple and their offspring decide to tag along, so it should be lots of fun. We're headed to a nice lake, Bradford Lake, which is close enough that we can hang out and enjoy our time, and not drive all day to get there. Ok we're not even driving a full half hour to get there! :)

I've always liked this lake. Especially within the last year, because the boat launch is almost always empty and it's right on my way home. Therefore when I feel a minor nervous breakdown coming on, I can pull in there and bawl, look at the water, think about stuff, gather my composure and continue on home. --Plus it's cheaper than driving to Mackinaw-- LOL. Anyway the campground is really nice the bathrooms are the cleanest, nicest bathrooms I've seen camping EVER. Well unless you count the ranch out by Atlanta but that's only because my former Brother-in-law built them. And being a particular guy... you can be assured they are top notch. Clean bathrooms or not I think a good time will be had by all.

Point is, the car is loaded up, and as of 2pm I'm on vacation! It was an ordeal getting the stuff I needed, but my sister came through so that's no longer an issue. I'll make a quick stop to Wally world and to the sporting goods store and then I will enjoy my weekend. I plan to read lots in my book, and maybe even get some homework done. I could use a mini vacation in the sun. Who knows... maybe this will be the weekend I actually learn to bait a hook!

Naaaaa..... LOL....
