A camping we will go

This past weekend we took our annual Davis/Bryant camping excursion.

This year's destination was Tugaloo State Park at Lake Hartwell in Lavonia.

It was beautiful!

The weather was absolutely perfect. Nice crisp mornings and sunny and warm but not hot afternoons. And the leaves were the perfect shades of gold and red.

As a bonus during our trip, the park was sponsoring all kinds of Halloween activities.
Our kids made Halloween masks, sat around a big bonfire and heard stories, made Smores at the fire and got to go on a hayride through the park.

It was splendid.

And we had loads of fun with Chad and Bee walking around the park and the lake, sitting by the fire and enjoying each others company.

We also ventured down to Pendergrass and went to the south's largest flea market. That was an experience. First time I had ever been to a place where you could buy lingerie, a vacuum, rugs, stereo systems, cell phone chargers, a knock-off purse, puppies, rabbits, monkeys and chickens all in the same place. I highly recommend you go there if you are near exit #137 on Interstate 85 North at any point in the future. It's like one big Sociology experiment.

And as we packed up to go home, we stopped by the cemetery where my sweet Grandma Collins is buried to give her our love. I'm so glad we were able to stop as I sure do miss her.

Overall, we had a really great weekend. Just enough relaxing and adventure to help us forget about work and school for a few days. Thanks so much to the Davis family for sharing theire home on wheels with us!
