Our camping adventure

We definitely had a camping adventure 2 weekends ago...and while I won't give you the play by play here are a few highlights of our trip-with pictures, of course.

• Someone (hm....wonder who it was...) didn't bring the directions...or plates, or napkins, or utensils. Oh, and he didn't bring a hat either. Whoops, did I say he?
• A 15 mile drive to the nearest Walmart to pick up all of the forgotten items and to get dinner at Zaxby's--since we couldn't get the fire started with wood, charcoal and half a container of lighter fluid.
• One very cold night in a tent
• 602 stairs from the bottom of Amicalola Falls to the top
• Hot dogs and smores for lunch and reading the new Colbert book by the fire
• A 2 mile drive down a crazy mountain road to check out a baptist church that is literally in the middle of nowhere
• Prime rib buffett at the lodge (do we know how to rough it or what?)
• Deciding at 7:30 that we're not ready to freeze another night
• Getting pulled on the way home for having a headlight out with Joel's wallet somewhere in all the camping stuff we stuffed in the trunk
