Camping

This weekend my boyfriend and I went camping in Robertsville, MO. This is close to St. Louis. This was only my second time camping! He was comming from Iowa City, IA and had to work late. So it was my job to set up the tent and start dinner. Well, by the time he got there, I had the tent set up, the rain fly on, a fire started and dinner was made. I didn't just cook any dinner though, I made steak, vegetables, and rice! We ate very nicely!! I was extremely proud of myself!! It ended up raining on us the first night but our tent did in fact stay dry. The next day we took a nice long walk around the camp site and down to the boat dock. The Merimac River was very high! Then we went for a short drive and ended up at the mall for a while. After that we came back to the campsite and cooked dinner. We looked up on my GPS system what sort of things were close to our campsite that we could do the next day before we had to head back to school. It ended up that Six Flags was only 16.7 miles from our campsite! We woke up early the next morning, packed up our things and headed to Six Flags. My boyfriend had not been since he was 8 years old, that was the only time he had ever been. I on the other hand went every year until my 3rd year of college. So it has been 2 years since I last went. We rode every ride at the park and then headed to Applebee's for dinner! We said our goodbyes and headed back for school.
