flashback friday: camping at the beach

ever heard of a yurt?


i hadn't until sam suggested we go camping in one early april 2007.  almost four years ago.  one of our cheapest, least posh, and closest-to-home getaways yet.  this is only about two hours from where we live.  it was by far one of the most fun trips we've ever taken.

this trip was also the first (& only) time i ever saw a guy get tazered by a cop. different story, different day.


who doesn't love camping?  but in a space heater, open to the sky, wood framed, canvas topped, view of the stars, queen bed, kind of way?  perfection.



plus, we had all the perks of a normal camp trip.  hot dogs, s'mores, sam's bbq ribs over a firepit, donuts, chocolate milk. mmmm yeah, i like camp food.



hiking & our sweet little dog, dominoe.

SAM + AMY = S AM Y = SAMY.  get it?

oh to be young & in love.

  2. Wow, how free and spontaneous life "pre-kids" used to be, eh? Biggest thing to worry about was "do they take dogs?"... Those were the days!

  4. Random! My mom lives in a yurt! Crazy, I know. I come from a family of organic vegetable-growing, hippie farmers. The yurt is fabulous - it was super fun to build and I love staying there when I visit.

  14. that yurt thing looks a little too "organic" for my liking. a nice hotel in nyc would probably suit me just fine. :)

    but yes, to be young and in love and BABYLESS. le sigh.

  15. .. so its a tent with a door, kind of like a tee pee without a point, i think i like it. When scrolling down to the bottom of your post i was unexpectedly confronted with 'tongue on bar', still laugh out loud funny. I'm taking my kid to the supermarket and putting peanut butter on the bar for a recreation.

    p.s. thanks for visiting
