Vacation Complete
Aug. 13th, 2007 01:34 pmI'm back :D
Camping was great fun! This was the first time my sister and I stayed on our own site, with a cute little tent and our own kitchen fly and everything (usually we're with our parents and brother). We had a few racoon run-ins and a loaf of bread went mysterously missing, but otherwise we fared very well. It was sunny and 80 all week, except, of course, for the night before it was time to pack up. Then we got hit by a humongo thunderstorm (some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard!) that soaked everything through. Fun times :P
On Tuesday we went for a boat ride, and I sunburned my boobies ;_;. Curse you, tank-ini!
I also went water skiing for the first time in over a year. It was fun, especially when I realized I hadn't forgotten how to get up. But the special gift of skiing is being reminded of every muscle you didn't think could be sore. But that was Friday, so I can lift my arms over my head by now XD;; (My mom took a photo of me skiing that I might get from her to put up).
Anyway, we were on Lake Charlevoix, which is probably the most beautiful view Michigan has to offer (according to me). Plots of land that have lake access sell for a million dollars each, or more, depending on the area (and that's not even including the house!). It opens out into Lake Michigan, which is so big it looks like the ocean, and so clear you can often see the bottom 30ft below you. We went out to the dunes on the east bank of the lake to look for Petoskey Stones, which are only found in certain areas of Michigan, and came back with quite a bundle. This is probably one of our best years for camping.
You're all invited next year :D
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY: I bought post cards!
I got 16, and I promised one for Silver and Gef already, so the first 14 people to comment with their address will get a postcard of Croik's Random Fun Time CampingNonsense Trivia (comments will be screen for privacy). I can't guarantee they'll make sense but you just might get a chuckle.
So did I miss anything? :D
