9th Annual Idyllwild Camping Trip in October

I will start off with a link to the The story of how we became US

This last weekend was our Idyllwild trip and we had a great time. We were back to basics this year. It has been a few years since we auctually camped since we have been blessed to have our dear friends Sarah and Josh living in Idyllwild and were able to stay at their house. We started off by heading to our usual place to camp the state park but there was a sign saying no camp fires and we were so not going to last the weekend with out cooking over an open flame. So we headed down to the county park and lucky for us they were allowing camp fires. We got camp set up very quickly and settled in. We spent the evening just enjoying each others company, reading and watching an Indiana Jones movie.

On Saturday we woke up early got ready and had some breakfast. Then it was off to paint pottery! Again something we havent done in recent years. We spent about two hours creating some beautiful pieces to bring home. Afterwards we walked around town and then headed back to camp for lunch and pumpkin carving. Paul and I headed over to Camp to say hello to Paul's relatives. It was time for game 6 Indians vs. Red Sox so as per tradition we went over to the Idyllwild Pizza Co. to eat some delicious pizza and watch the game.

We woke up Sunday and had breakfast. Then started to pack up camp, after we were done it was time to go pick up our pottery, walked around town a little bit more and headed down the mountain. The wind was so horrible coming down the mountain I thought we were going to be blown into the side of it. Driving on the freeway it was pretty much a sand storm for the majority of the drive. We made it home safely to watch game 7.
