Let me premise this post with a statement: Jon and I are not campers in the traditional sense. We don't do tents and we don't do hiking boots and we don't start our own fires from scratch. We're more of the cabin, flip flops and fire starter-using kind of campers and we're okay with that. (Though I've been swearing up and down for years that I could totally win Survivor because it's always the small, skinny girls that go far. 'Course their huge boobs might also be a factor, but I'm just saying, I could totally rock Survivor if given the opportunity).
Anyhow, our friends Allison and Ryan invited us to go camping with a group of their friends at the beautiful and historic Harpers Ferry. They mentioned cabins and beers and s'mores and we said, "We're in!" Save for a few run-ins with large, buzzing insects and some rainy weather on Sunday, we all had a blast and promised to make it an annual tradition. All photos below are courtesy of the lovely Allison.
What better way to spend a Friday night then by playing flip cup by the light of the fire?
Jon and I were in charge of breakfast on Saturday morning and we made omelettes in baggies over the campfire. Yes, eggs + baggies + fires = omelettes. Did I just blow your mind? They're magical omelettes!
We went on a short hike on the riverbank which led us into the town of Harpers Ferry. The town itself actually sits on cliffs above the river(s).
Saturday night started out innocently enough...(and yeah, no makeup, I must really love you guys)
But a few rounds of beer pong and flip cup later, Jon and I were up to our old routine of rodeos and goofiness.
Any night that ends with warm, ooey-gooey delicious s'mores (just look at the perfect toast on that marshmallow!) is pretty close to heaven in my eyes.
I think I'll wait until tomorrow to share my super, secret best-ever garage sale find with y'all since I loaded you down with photos in this post. It's totally worth the wait, I promise.
