Thanksgiving Break; Camping 2010
November 29, 2010 7:12 PM

Khine got to spend an extra long Thanksgiving break here in Nashville. And even though I had to work on many of the days she was here, we accomplished so many things! She finally got a haircut (I didnt want her to ever get one :-), we went x-mas shopping (several times), she tried on wedding dresses (for the first time with no intent to buy which is why I was allowed to attend), we tested our new tent in the living room, for the first time made our very own Thanksgiving meal (it was quite intimidating just buying a whole turkey but we pulled it off with flying colors!), brewed beer (another double stout since I still had some ingredients left over from last time), cooked Tabbouleh, homemade spaghetti sauce, stir frey, and lots more!

But most importantly, we went camping for the first time together! We've been planning to go over the Thanksgiving weekend for quite some time, and the weather even seemed to be holding out for us, but on the week we wanted to go it came down to making a decision, go in the rain, or go in the freezing cold, we went with the latter. So other than not being able to sleep because it was so damn cold, it went pretty good! We went to the Land Between the Lakes; Energy Lake Camp Ground, site D9 ($12 bucks a night for the basic sites / $18 for the ones with electric). We got there after doing some black Friday shopping in Clarksville (since it was along the way) but there were still a few other people there so it wasn't completely deserted, the wind was non existent, our camp fire held up all night with the 16 pieces of firewood we bought for 5 bucks along the way (an average sized fire will consume about 4 logs an hour), and everything else went smoothly. We will deff go again, but not before the nights warm back up.
