Memorial Day Camping Trip

Over Memorial Day Weekend I was able to take my two oldest daughters on another camping trip. We decided to go to the KOA Campground in Wilmington, NC. We spent three days outdoors driving around Wilmington, hunting for geocaches, visiting the aquarium, and enjoying the on-site playground and pool. My children love to camp and I love taking them. One of the highlights of the entire trip was a big hike that I took on Saturday. That’s a story for another post though.

Setting up camp on the first day.

I’m pretty sure I did all of the work setting up the camp. They had to try out their new chairs and make sure I was setting up the campsite correctly.

Trying out their new chairs for the first time!

I don’t go out of town on an overnight trip without finding a few geocaches. This one was a very old and famous one. I’m glad we took the time to hike out and find it.

All good trips include some geocaching!

The girls love going to the aquarium. We try to go every time we are in town. This time we were driving down from Wilmington instead of riding the ferry over from Southport. That was a very different experience over the holiday weekend.

All in all it was a very successful and fun trip. The girls had a big time and we found a lot of geocaches. Who could ask for anything more? I would be open to turning this into an annual trip. We’ll see…
