the after Christmas-math

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....

  1. Oh my..we MUST meet up when you are in the Baraga State park..if you like photography, we know some hidden waterfalls and places to take you! We are only about 40 miles from the park and my brother lives in L'Anse which is only 5 miles away! So let us know when ok?

  2. We should be to Baraga (as long as the gas prices stay down) no later than June 14th, I believe that is a Tuesday, and we will be there until at least Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week...I like to take pictures, but most don't turn out well, but hey, i will try...My son's birthday is the 20th and we are going to be at Brimley in time for Engineer's Day at the Soo Locks...and some friends are meeting us there to celebrate his birthday...I wish they would be with us at Baraga, cause my one friend loves taking pictures and collects old camera's and stuff...
