cowans gap: labor day trip

Hey there.
Happy tuesday, too!
 
So this year, you can tell we've camped quite alot!
(it's been super fun)
 
We started the season: Memorial Day, at
and ended the season, again at..
This time we camped with our friends:
Mike, Andi & their kiddos.
 
We love it there!
so many pro's:
it's beautiful. lots of hiking.
kayaking!!! -which this time we brought ours! woohoo.
and we get the best spot in the park..or so we think ;)
 

favorite pilot!
 
traveled through gettysburg!
 
stopped for fuel=fruit
 
hey ladyyyy....
 

home sweet home again.

camp necessities.

 
i have a slight obsession with fried + onions hot dogs whilst camping. lol
 

YUM!
 

dueling hammocks with this STUD!



found this legit cooler for our water at a yard sale= $3.00!!
 
saturday morning stop.
 
and we love the chambersburg farmers market alot!
open air markets are truly the greatest!
 
falafel is a game changer!
 
and we found this tiny western guide backpack tent for 5.00!
its super tiny, yet perfect!
 

lucky for this dude & savoring these moments away together. just us.
 
my favorite spot to be. in the kayak, on the water. <3
 
this might be the best camp meal i've ever had!
chili in the dutch oven & cornbread in the cast iron.
holy moly it was incredible. way to go, adam!
 
 
sunday afternoon we hiked STRAIGHT UP the mountain..
for what seemed like forever. i'd say this view was worth it!
 
 
yeah- it was a killer!
 
be cool- eat fajitas!
 
 
and this is called- we don't want to bring any food home breakfast! yikes.
 
 
the only rain of the weekend decided to come while we were packing up.
luckily it was humid enough, it evaporated quickly!
 
all packed up & ready to hit the road.
 
our drive home was super lovely!
 
Overall our weekend was mega fun!
Lots of laughter, sunshine, and campfires.
The way weekends should be spent, right.
 
Can't wait for our next adventure! :)

harpers ferry

every year growing up we would spend time in:
west virginia.
 
it was always one of my favorite trips.
cutesy little town + near the water + historic =
perfect spot.
 
this year mr. mack & i tagged along with
my mom, step dad, brother, and his good pal.
(we left our blue boy home this time)
 
it was a blast & super relaxing.
 
we stay at the harpers ferry KOA,
which is unlike the state parks A & I have been staying at.
 
It had a pool, camp store, and a COFFEE SHOP! (heck yes!)
Needless to say, it was a fun mini getaway with the family!
 
here are a few photos from our trip:
