Camping

Well last weekend Lance's old busser friends got together for a camping trip. Cat and Lance left on Friday to head down to meet everyone at the campsite. They were camping at a site not too far away from Camp Pendleton near the beach. While the winds and wild fires were raging in inland Orange County, the OC beaches were beautiful. Clear blue skies, no wind or fire. Thankfully!

I joined the group Saturday night after work. This was the first time Lance and I in our 4 1/2 years of dating have ever been camping together. Everytime he has gone before I have had work or other obligations and I haven't been able to go. This time though, they were close enough for me to drive down and meet them for the evening.

Seeing everybody was great and we had a lot of fun. Apparently no one takes pictures while camping though, unless something really funny happens. Like so.......

Rod left his $80 sunglasses on top of his lantern and then proceeded to light it. He left to go to the bathroom and while he was gone his fuel burned out and the lamp went off. Tom jumped up and then turned on his lantern. When Rod returned he said, did my lamp burn out? We told him yes and then all of the sudden he says, holy S*^t! All of us thought geez Rod we have another lantern it's no big deal. Then that's when he showed us his sunglasses. We all about died laughing. Why he didn't take them off when he lit the lantern we'll never know! That will definitely be a camping story we will be talking about for years to come!

The only other picture that Cat took was of me and Lance finally getting to go camping together. It was lots of fun and I can't wait until we get to do it again!
