Christmas is over, the long awaited holiday, gone in a flash....in some ways I am happy, my husband can be quite the Scrooge...lol...Son made out like a bandit, receiving more Trucks, Trains, Tractors, Matchbox Cars, clothes, and underwear to last him at least til December 25, 2011, my awesome Daddy gave me seventy five dollars on an Auto Zone gift card to get some stuff for my 'new' truck, AAAAANNDDDD...$50 worth of Olive Garden gift cards too, my favorite restaurant, Hubby got some much needed new Cartharts (Jacket and Bib Coveralls), a neat little flashlight that sticks to your head (he's worn it all day and says it will be handy to level the camper in the dark, and work on cars)
Tomorrow the tree comes down, the lights will be darkened for another year, Christmas will be boxed up and put away....
NOW to get down to some serious planning....
planning for............
CAMPING
yes, I said it....camping....
we already have 2 trips and 1 weekend planned, well, decided...not planned....
the first weekend out will be the weekend before Memorial Day...to get the camper out, get it opened up, aired out, mice (and/or other critters) eradicated....as I never did get the peppermint oil in there....that will be just to Brighton Recreation Area Bishop Lake Campground....
the 1st of the two trips is our annual family vacation...I have mixed emotions about taking it in June....I love the UP in the Fall, but my son starts school this fall, kindergarten....sniff....his birthday is in June, and so is Soo Locks Engineer's day, so we are vacationing to the UP in June....we are camping a split vacation, as we will spend a week at Baraga State Park and then the rest of the time at Brimley State Park....hopefully I will get to meet one of my blogger buddies while at Baraga...ANYONE THAT HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA, AND ATTRACTIONS AROUND BARAGA OR THE KEWENAW PENINSULA SEND IT TO ME PLEASE!!!!!!
The 2nd trip in the works is in August, we are planning to try out Bay City Recreation Area for a weekend....
we will be staying at Brighton Rec off and on over the summer and on into the fall...hopefully we will make a Halloween weekend this year too....
