Where for art thou, Spring?

[Budding tree in our backyard]

We're Spring cleaning, I bought some pieces for my Spring wardrobe, I already officiated a girls' lacrosse game... outside and I switched over to my Spring purse.

You'd think it was Spring right?

Nope.

March 20th is a sham.

It's still freezing cold and we were graced with snow last week.

Granted, it melted hours later, but still, the sight of it when I woke up made me ill.

I thought my husband was pullin' my leg when he looked out the window and said in a horrified voice,

"Oh my God, it's snowing."

In order to have something to look forward to, we booked our Spring camping trip to Rickett's Glen.

Weekend of June 3rd, holla!

We'll be seeing a whole lotta these bad boys.

(And hopefully no bears.)

Camping is In Tents

In an effort to enjoy the beautiful weather we experienced here in SEPA (southeastern PA) over the weekend, Tim and I practiced setting up our new tent!

Can I just say that registering at REI for our wedding was the greatest idea ever?

We are totally tricked out with the best camping gear and are already planning a trip for this Spring.

The only decision we need to make is whether we're going to a local campground which is 30 min. away... or if we're making the trek to a campground 2 1/2 hours away that has the most gorgeous natural waterfalls we've ever seen.

Convenient or Scenic!

Gah!

After dealing with torrential downpours and bear encounters, we're kinda professional campers now. So what do professional campers do? Practice, practice, practice!
