Kayak Point


Things that make my heart happy:
- Enormous tents, pop-up trailers from 1979 and bright blue lawn chairs
 A husband that delights in finding and whittling the perfect weinie roasting & marshmallow toasting stick
- A husband that delights in creating the perfect perimeter of citronella candles around the campfire to ward off pesky mosquitoes
- S'mores with homeade graham crackers, gigantic marshmallows and Reeses Pieces
- Three walks to the beach in two days
- Having filthy feet from traipsing through the forest and along the sand in flip-flops
- Breakfast followed by a nap followed by lunch followed by a nap, all under a canopy of green
- Crabs scuttling at break-neck speed from the shore to deeper water
-  A 3 1/2 year-old niece who very gleefully shares her special Gorilla Munch camping cereal with her uncle and auntie
- Snuggling down for the night, the two of us in our mansion of a tent, in my brother's old baseball sweatshirt and a pile of sleeping bags
- Sharing our campsite with a squirrel, a bunny and a flock of chirping birds 
- Sunsets over the water
- Planning for next year's trip :)
A camping bus?! Yes, please! 
Giving the 3 Stooges a run for their money since 1987 :)
