What a GREAT extended weekend I had full of sun and fun times with friends! The camping getaway was kept pretty simple. We visited one of the beautiful state parks here in Texas - Garner State Park. It seemed like a great place to go for a little relaxation and exercise (yes, the two can go hand in hand).
Big Baby went along for the trip. It was her first time swimming AND her first time camping. I wasn't sure how she would do but she handled it like an old pro! We found our campsite and put up our tent. I was expecting to have problems putting it up but it came together without a hitch! BB felt right at home inside of it.
We did a lot of walking on rocky trails and cooled our feet in the refreshing, clear water. Big Baby enjoyed herself and so did I. All of the troubles and negativity of the previous weeks seemed to drift away with each ripple of water that hit my legs.
I got in some great hiking and swimming while I was there. The trip helped me realize how disconnected I had become from nature. I get so much of my energy and joy from being outdoors. Big Baby seemed to reflect my renewed feeling of happiness.
The days seemed to drift by too quickly. My time away was exactly what I needed. I did a lot of reflecting and gave thought to things I had been putting on the back burner. All in all, my mini vacation was everything I hoped it would be. I can't wait to get back out and have some more adventures!!
Happy Trails!
