Fitzroy Fits for Camping

It came to our attention some time ago that in the 4 years that Daniel and I have been married we have never been camping together! We have spent plenty of time sleeping on air matresses when there were not enough beds at christmas or something but not actually in the woods in a tent.

I'm now happy to say that that is now no longer the case.

It was weeks ago now that I booked this camping trip. It was only to Fitzroy Harbour - approx a half an hour drive from our house but it was great. No long drives there before you set up or no long drive home again after, It was the perfect distance just for the weekend.

Friday morning on the drive to work I was a little skeptical that it was all going to go ahead as it had been forecast for crazy amounts of rain...

By about 3:00 it had stopped raining and was drying up nicely... From 3-5 pm I watch the patch of blue sky way off in the distance gradually get a bit closer.

After filling in some paperwork we finally arrived at out site at about 5.45pm and began to set up..

Then ate some dinner..

Then read... and went to sleep.

Saturday morning came bright and early as it always does when your camping...

and by about 9:00 we were washed dressed and up at the store reading the paper!

Tracy and Bryan came to spend Saturday with us and stayed over saturday night...

We went for a walk to the beach, to get some ice cream, we had naps, all read books, drank beer, chatted, ate great food, thank the guys for their work with the bbq, and great salad - thanks Tracy :)

In the evening we went for another short walk back to the beach to watch the sunset but no-one remembered the camera.

One quick sleep and it was already time to pack up and head home to check on the cat, time though for one last group shot.

Ps) Thanks to Amanda for checking on Phoenix on Saturday
