Last weekend, Marilyn and I spontaneously decided to go camping. By camping I mean we stayed at a "kabin" at a KOA in Fillmore, about 150 miles south of where we live. It is close enough to get to easily but far enough to feel like you have gone somewhere. We have stayed here several times before and we really love it.
These cabins are great! They have two beds (you bring your own pillow and linens or a sleeping bag), a desk and chair, a nightstand, and a mini refrigerator. They have electricity and a heating and cooling unit so they are very comfortable. There is a communal bathroom with showers a short walk away from the cabins so it is very convenient. I really love the large porch and I have been known to sit there during the afternoon and read. It rained most of the day when we were there so we stayed inside watching movies (we watched Young Victoria, Austenland, and Romeo and Juliet). It was actually so much fun! Then we ventured to the town of Fillmore for dinner and ate at a restaurant called the Garden of Eat'n. What a hoot!
The rain stopped for a little while after we got back from dinner so we had to have a fire. I think my favorite part of camping is spending the evening around the campfire.
Of course, no camping trip is complete without making s'mores and, as always, they were delicious!
This trip was so much fun! It was the perfect little getaway from everyday life and it was so relaxing! We laughed, almost non-stop, and ate way too many treats! Even though the weather didn't cooperate, there is nothing better than the smell of a rain shower or the sound of raindrops on your roof as you sleep under a heavy quilt in a cabin! I am really looking forward to many more camping trips this spring and summer.
