Camping Trip

Devin spontaneously decided that we should go camping Wednesday so after I got home from work we drove down to Sebastian Inlet. Grant (Devin's puppy) came with us. The campsite had a fite pit, light, flush toilets, and showers so we weren't roughing it too much. After setting up camp we went letterboxing which turned into an hour and a half of trudging through brush (the trails were not well kept, or kept at all) with HUGE banana spiders and we still didn't find the letterbox. On the way back to camp we picked up some shrimp to go fishing with. We made hotdogs/soydogs for dinner with really yummy s'mores for dessert. When it got dark we watched the shooting stars from the Perseid meteor shower. We couldn't sleep because a large number of no-see-ums made their way into our tent and kept biting us. Eventually we covered ourselves with bug spray and got some sleep.

We were up early in the morning and watched the sunrise and did some more fishing. Devin cought a catfish and stingray while we were there. I was generally more busy eating marshmallows or watching stars. After most the shrimp were gone we went exploring in the Ganoe (like a canoe but with a flat back so you can put a motor on). Grant wasn't too sure about getting ina boat but once he got used to it he was very comfy. We found a peaceful mangrove cove, spotted some stingrays, and saw lots of birds and fish. When we got back to our tent it was time to pack up so we put everything away and headed home. On the way we stopped for icecream and at home we all took a nap.
