We are in serious planning mode for our backcountry camping
trip this weekend. We are going to Kejimkujik National Park . We are
super excited! It is a 5km hike to our site, which is really not too too far
but it's far enough for trek for our first trip. After all, we do have to carry
ALL of our things PLUS all of our toddler's things. And then there's, well, the
TODDLER (who despite all of her energy will not walk 5km straight through). So
what we have decided to do is this: Mama + backpack, Daddy + backpack, H in
stroller. We will strap some gear to the stroller to help distribute the
weight. H will likely walk a fair portion of it too. And when the trail becomes
too uneven for our rugged stroller, we will "portage" it in a sense. I'll
post next week to let you know how successful this plan will be!
We chose to go on our trip this weekend for two reasons: (1)
the Perseids meteor shower! (2) It is our wedding anniversary today!! Camping
is our perfect gift to each other; after all, we are the ones who had a offbeat
camping themed wedding! So, here's to you my love, Happy Anniversary!
