Camper's Delight

Over the weekend, Rob and I successfully completed our first camping trip with just the two of us.  We packed way too much, considering that we were gone a little less than 24-hours, but at least we didn't forget anything. 

On Friday morning-ish, we drove to the Los Angeles National Forest and found our camp site.  Our campsite was quite swell, including a fire ring, picnic table, cool cut down tree trunks, and hiking trails to the of side and behind us. First thing we did when we got there was set up camp.

Then we went for a hike behind our new home,
cooked some tin foil dinners over the fire,
watched the sun go down,
 and of course, made s'mores.  Rob only ate one before saying he had too much sugar.  I lost count of how many I had, but I know it was atleast 5. 
 The evening was definitely the most fun.  We both agreed.  There's just something really cool about building your own fire, making food over that fire, and then sitting around talking until you are the last campers in your area that are still awake.  We may never be extreme campers, but I can forsee some more camping adventures in our future.
