A Camping We Will Go

-
I had mentioned a little while ago that Mark and I were going camping for a weekend. It ended up being such a beautiful weekend. We went to Burlingame State Campground in Charlestown RI. We were there Friday-Monday, and had a blast. 
Friday night we got there just as it was about to get dark so we rushed to get set up, and then made some dinner and a camp fire. 
On Saturday we got up and made breakfast, and then we went out bike riding. I showed him around the campground since this was his first time there. When we got back we went to the beach and took a swim together, the campground is on Watchaug Pond. The water was quite cold, but we still has fun. We enjoyed playing card games together between "go fish" "old maid" "war" and "spit". Right around late afternoon we took a drive into Watch Hill (Westerly, RI) which was about 15 minutes away. Once in town we stopped at the little ice cream shop and got ice cream, and then we walked out to the Watch Hill Lighthouse (i had posted about that here). 
When we got back we made some dinner and set up the fire for later. The campground was showing the movie RV at the athletic field at dusk. We went and watched part of that, we didnt stay the whole time since it was very buggy out. We went back and made our fire, and these really yummy desserts. They were bananas stuffed with chocolate bars, recesses, and marshmallows and then wrapped them up in tin foil and put them in the coals in the fire. 
You need to make sure you leave the peel on them so they dont burn, they just get warm and gooey. They turned out so good. 
On Sunday when we got up we made breakfast again, and then went right to the beach. We were there for a little while but then headed back to play cards. We were playing cards when mom came to visit. We made some lunch then headed out for a bike ride together. When we got back from the ride we all went to the beach together to get some sun. Later on, around dinner before mom left we went into town to go to orange leaf. For those of you who do not know what it is: a frozen yogurt place that have all different flavors, and you can mix them and do it yourself. Then they have all the fruit toppings and candy toppings. Its amazing. 
We had our fire, and then later on, after mom left, mark and i made dinner. 
Monday morning we had to pack up, and it was very sad since we both had an amazing time, but i also enjoyed the trip so much. So until next time...Happy Camping :)

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Falltime Bucket List Update #5

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
