Bet you can't guess where we went... If you've been reading our blog, it won't be hard to figure out. This tree is one of the top 10 largest redwoods in the US. It's amazing how tall it is for being so hollow.
Highlights of our camping getaway included: an early morning trail run (Brady whooped up on me!!!), a long hike through fall leaves and catepillars to see the tree below, hot showers (yes, I am lame, and very okay with it), late night games of Dominos and Phase 10, brisk (read--FREEZING) fall weather, and surviving 3 days without a brush. Impressed?

Eric's noggin' is one of the 10 largest in the U.S.
I don't get the hot shower part and why that'd make you lame.
Also, we've never played Phase 10.
Love the picture of you two together. That's a sweet shot.
Campers aren't supposed to take showers. That's part of the "experience." I have no problem with developed campsites that include running (hot) water. However, I'm still waiting for comments from our camping friends that poke fun at this!
Phase 10 is pretty fun, especially on airplanes.
Man Karen! I looked at the picture of you and Brady and you look SOOOO good! Brady, you're pretty dashing yourself, but you have a HOT wife!
I couldn't go more than two days without showering, especially when you're outside and sweaty. I guess I could never call myself a true "camper." Eric went a looooong time when he was a boyscout camping.
He went a long time without showering is what I meant to say. I hit publish instead of preview. Darnit.
Got it, Jill. Yeah, there is NO WAY I would have gone trail running without the promise of shower. The temp was so cool, though, that I didn't really sweat. In the camping shower, a big spider went crawling by. I spent most of my alloted 3 minutes spraying it out the door. In fact, I still had soap suds all over me when it shut off. hmmm...
Dang, those lady bugs are having quite the sorority party. It must be some celebrity lady bug's party.
I'm all for the showering, Karen. We have done backpacking and camping without showering, and I say if there is hot water, take a shower! Is that a pack of killer lady bugs? I hear they are quite fearsome...
We love "Karen's Kitchen".
Karen is lame for showering while camping. We're embarrassed to be called your "camping friends". :)
(Remember the showers in Moab? I think we all used them right?)
Yeah, I don't know if you can call yourselves true campers on that trip. Sorry. What's next, RV "camping"? ;)
However, we will still call you our camping friends if you invite us to dine in Karen's Famous Kitchen.
You guys really do look great in your couple shot, btw. Striking couple. :)
