Over Roughing It

Today was supposed to be our last day camping. And actually, the rain held out longer than we had anticipated. But after breakfast yesterday, using our not-so-roughing-it devices, we observed a very large thunder storm headed our way. We lasted until about 3pm in our tent, in the rain before deciding to pack up and head to, if not a drier place, a place that could keep us drier and keep our dogs from looking at us like they were strapped in constant torture devices.

The trip, while it lasted, was really nice. I feel like we're professional campers now. We had gourmet dinners and a warm bed. It helps that the camp site was all-inclusive. Picnic bench, fire pit, water spout... Lap of luxury, I'm telling you.

The dunes and the beach were gorgeous. Wynnie got her first ocean experience, and she was thrilled, to say the least. Thel, being the old bitty that she is, was content to hang out with us on the wet sand.

...Amongst other things... One of the highlights? ...I did see some monarch butterflies! Do I have to convince you of how excited I was?? Though they weren't in the swarming masses as I had imagined.......
