First Camping Trip

This weekend we took our first camping trip as a family – Andrew and I both camped before we met each other but it’s something that we had not done together.  So we set out Friday afternoon for Luray, VA.  The campsite was a couple of hours from home in the Shenandoah mountains. 

We spent Friday afternoon setting up camp and exploring the campground.  And then Saturday we went to see the Luray Caverns in the morning and then spent the afternoon at the pool.

There were lots of fun things to explore including swings…

jumping pillows (I had never seen anything like this before and they were pretty neat)…

and a pool (which was open but not heated so very cold!!).

The Luray Caverns were very impressive (to Andrew and I at least) and someplace that Andrew had wanted to visit for a long time.  Julia’s patience was a little thin so we walked through pretty quickly but we were glad that we stopped and got a chance to see it.

Overall it was a great trip.  Julia really enjoyed sleeping in the tent with Mom and Dad and spending so much time outside and of course, the s’mores!!
