A Fun Time Camping in the Fall

We met Najla, Ryan, Emma and Trevor in Candler, NC just west of Asheville to spend a few days camping. The weather was cool and a bit rainy. We had an RV site close to the cabin Najla and Ryan rented for the time we were there. It was pretty nice with one bedroom , bunk beds and a kitchen and bathroom. The campground owners had spent some time and money refinishing the floors and updating things.They even had a swing on the porch.

We arrived a little before the Meyers since they detoured to drive near the Blue Ridge Mountains and look at all the fall leaves and trees. Being from Florida, this was a new view for Emma and Trevor. This was a perfect time to see the Fall colors. Even though we had had rain and wind, there were plenty of beautiful colored trees and leaves to see.

Everyone voted for hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner so David and I headed for the closet grocery to pick up some sides to go with the meal. OMG were we surprised at the local Ingles grocery. It was spectacular and more like a Whole Foods. It was clean, spacious with lots of food options and the had the biggest craft beer selection David had ever seen.

This is about 1/3 of the craft beer section and they had 5 rows of wines from all over the world. David was amazed.

Dinner was great except for the fact that with the time change we were eating in the dark. We did have a couple of lanterns and a campfire. Of course after dinner we had to have s'mores to finish the day. I don't know who had more fun at the campfire--the kids or Ryan. Emma and Trevor had a good time for sure. They even cooked their hot dogs over the fire.

I had made a new quilt for my guest room bed, but ended up putting it on the MH bed instead.  I loved the yellow and gray fabric. It was a little small for that bed, but at least we weren't tripping over it.

I made the kids Glow in the Dark quilts. Emma's had Unicorns and Trevor had Dinosaurs.

.All 3 kitties were along for the trip and they were all cuddled in their beds for the night.
It was a great first day.

The campground had a mile long trail around the campground so we went on a hike. Quite a bit of it was uphill and we were all trying to catch our breath--even David and Najla and they are in much
better shape than me.
