After becoming parents, Ted and I realized that our camping trips would change drastically. Meaning that, gone were the days of lounging around the lake fishing and talking. HOWEVER! Since this is a new bucket list...we added it to THE list.
Bucket List #883 - Adult Only Camping Trip (Well, more like Lounging Trip)
Us and another couple headed up to Red Feather Lakes (close to the burn area...WOWZA) and camped for the weekend. We literally did nothing. Well, nothing to be noted, really.
To be honest, we really couldn't even call what we did camping. I mean the tent site had a hook up. My husband brought an extension cord. So, of course, I did what any sensible woman would do...I brought my coffee maker.
While the men fished (well one fished, the other drank beer and slept ;-) ), the ladies sat in LARGE, COMFY, HEAVY chairs and read. Definitely not what I would be doing if my children came along.
Obviously, he didn't fish. Such a bright, bright, man!
As the sun began to set on our last night there, dinner (and the 4 fish) were being cooked up!
We had brought steaks to grill over the fire and some corn to fire roast (super delish - by the way), we thought might as well and throw the fish sticks on!
Oh my goodness, we couldn't stop eating!!! It was SOOO SUPER YUMMY!
It was such a good trip, that there are talks of an annual end of the summer ADULT ONLY Camping trip. I think it might be worth it!
The sun began to set on what I think was probably the most restful camping trip I have yet to go on...sans kids. Ahhh yes. Definitely will be on the calendar again for the next year. Who's coming with??
OF NOTE: **The theme of this summer has obviously been cowboys/girls. Which, I'm not opposed to at all. I might as well keep it going!
