Happy Camper

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 | by Olivia | Labels: , , |

In my quest to branch outside of this box I call my life, I've started my own little list of things I'll like to give a (in some cases a second) try. First up on the list? CAMPING. Ok, those of you know me can stop laughing now… this is the new and improved me and I'm trying new things!

I went camping (the tent kind) when I was younger and I'm still slightly traumatized because of it. It was definitely cold, raining, and there bathrooms were skeevy to say the least. This time around I want to do my research and find a good mix between crunchy and comfy. You know, like a rustic cabin. I like the word rustic. At least in theory :)

These places look like definite contenders:

Bear Creek Lake (Cumberland, Virginia -- about 3 hours from D.C.)

"The cozy and rustic six-bedroom lodge." Yes, please.

This doesn't look too shabby either. Room with a view!

You know I love a good beach. When do we leave??

Another activity I'd like to try.

And no camping trip is complete without a fire! Or so I've been told.


Douthat State Park (Shenandoah Valley -- about 4 hours from D.C.)

This looks a bit more rustic to me! Campy-chic.

Awesome hiking trails and views...

Does anyone have advice on camping in style?  I'm serious about going, so please do tell.  In the meantime, I'll start stocking up on these:


Tres chic. So who's in?

xoxo,
Olivia

Me, me, me!! We'll just throw up our tent next to your cabin :)

There are so many great places to camp around here. We need to plan a date!

Let's do it, seriously! I need to get away more on the weekends and this sounds like the perfect excused to do so :)
