Impromptu Camping Weekend (April 25 - 27, 2014)

We finally saw the light at the end of the winter tunnel and decided to break out the camper for the weekend. It was a pretty quick decision to head out and we didn't even have time to de-winterize the Pod, but we took our chances. I had been stalking the weather all last week, but never took into consideration that we were heading to Lake Erie, Sterling State Park to be exact, and the winds were forecasted to be out of the east around 25 mph off the lake. It was FREEZING cold and too windy to even have a campfire. I was surprised that there was about 40 other campers out and braving the cold winds. I was very thankful for the heated bathroom at the park and that our heater in the camper worked just fine too. We still had a nice time and since it is my hometown we spent Saturday afternoon with my parents watching the Detroit Tigers baseball game. 

So, this officially opens the camping season for 2014. We have trips planned to New York, Ohio, Indiana, and of course, around Michigan. I'm just hoping that this crazy weather will straighten up and we won't have to worry about freezing temperatures and snow in May!

Here's a couple of photos from our weekend!
