Thursday, August 14, 2014. Heading north in Wisconsin

We all took it easy in the morning. We stayed in Kyle's apartment; it was the first time Chris had seen the new one!

After eating some breakfast and getting everything packed, the three of us took a trip over to Savers thrift store. We were looking for a medium weight blanket for the weather we have been encountering. We have one for very cold weather, but not a good one in the camper for chilly weather. Found one. Plus we both forgot to pack jackets for colder weather. We each found some at the store, plus some other goodies. We find lots of really good stuff at thrift stores and this one seems well-managed.

And then it was off on our camping trip! Chris drove the camper and listened to his lectures, while I rode with Kyle so that we could catch up on things and have some mother/daughter bonding. The trip was fun. Our destination was Point Beach State Forest a little south of Green Bay Wisconsin. Since we use electricity for our C-PAPs, but Kyle's used to roughing it while camping, our campsite fit the bill. It was wooded with pretty good separation from other campers. Misquitoes were irritating, but not impossible.

The one problem we encountered was that electric sites were at a premium and our site was only available for one night. We will have to move tomorrow!

Kyle built us a nice fire and we cooked hot dogs that Chris had picked up for supper. And sat around the fire as it turned dark. Yes, Kyle and I had some beer... we did NOT cook marshmallows, sing, or tell ghost stories. But a good time was had by all and we laughed alot.
