There are few times in life that everything comes together to create something perfect and this weekend was one of them. The idea of a camping trip was pitched to us a few weeks ago and somehow we agreed before we could completely conceive what we were agreeing to. After all, we are not campers! As the trip grew closer we thought it best to cancel ,as the idea of us spending the weekend roughing it sounded like a lot of hard work at a time that we really needed to relax. But Friday came around, the truck was loaded and we headed out of town. Our destination was Lake Jennings, which is a nice 45 minutes drive from home. We were meeting another family from church who we had become friends with and they were the campers. Thank goodness they had a camper and knew what they were doing.
The first glimpses of our site instantly put us at ease. We may have had the most beautiful location in the entire campground with a spectacular view of the lake. The tent was pitched and before long dinner was behind us, the camp fire was lit and the easy strum of the guitar was a perfect end to a busy day. The weekend went merrily along. The boys fished all day and then went back for more after dinner....night fishing that is! We the ladies passed the afternoon leafing through magazines, then we took an adventurous trip to the nearby outlet for some shopping! This was not "roughing it" as I had imagined, but we sure had fun. Even the dog settled in like he was born to camp.

Saturday turned to Sunday and before we knew it we were packing up and heading home. The weekend ended just a little too soon for all of us. In fact, it left us wanting more, which is not what we expected. We all agreed that this was the best weekend we had had in a long, long time.
