First Landing State Park 6/12/12

 
We started off the summer with a mid-week camping trip to the beach! I took J and Ollie with me. The forecast was for rainy and windy weather (Yay! Not.) so we built a tent city with our tent, EZ up, and a huge tarp. Ollie loved camping but was not a fan of the ocean. He did love the attention from the folks on the beach, and of course he loved sleeping in the tent with Mom!

 

The park has a GREAT camp/beach store with hot food, ice cream, etc. The camp sites are big and private. There is a beautiful boardwalk down to the bay. The bathhouses are old style with the showers inside the bathrooms.
 

We were warned that the flies there are awful, and they weren’t kidding. Man. Pack the bug spray next time!
 

All in all, it was a lovely trip. We took movies and watched them on my laptop when it was too rainy or dark to do anything else. We managed to cook everything over charcoal in the fire pit despite the wet conditions. There were enough dry spells to get in some time on the beach.

C         10
B          3
W        10 (bay—nice!)
H         10
R          10
