Family Fun Camping Trip with Young Kids to Tallulah Gorge
Last weekend, we travelled a couple hours north of Atlanta to go camping at Tallulah Gorge. We try to have two annual camping trips; one in the late spring and one in the early fall. Drew has been wanting to visit the Gorge and with the leaves changing, it was the perfect time to visit. Since the campground at Tallulah Gorge State Park is pretty small, it fills up very quickly so I made sure to book a few months out! We arrived to the campsite on Friday afternoon and got settled in. The boys were so excited to help set up camp and to sleep in their sleeping bags.…

Camping with Toddlers: Family Fun on Lake Lanier
We just got back from a weekend long camping trip to Shoal Creek Campground on Lake Lanier. This is our first lake camping trip and first time camping with just our immediate family. We have taken both of the boys camping in years past, with the help of other family members, but at ages 3 and 5 we are ready to go with just our family. I am pretty sure camping will get better and better every year. We usually go camping in the mountains, but switched it up to go lake camping as it is closer to home (only 45 minutes away) and near where we keep our boat.…

Camping with a Toddler and Baby: Our Trip to Balsam, North Carolina
We just got back from our first camping trip as a family of 4. I was apprehensive about camping with a baby and a toddler, but boy I am so happy we did! Drew grew up camping with his family and Boy Scout troop and finds it important that we raise our boys loving the outdoors. I am more of a “city girl” when it comes to the outdoors, but figure that since camping is so important to my husband I could either “join em” or be left out.For our inaugural camping trip with Walker (we went camping with Reid when he was 15 months old), we went to a…

Davidson River Campground Trip and Oskar Blues Brewery
Happy Monday! This weekend, I went on a camping trip with Drew’s family. They go camping twice a year–once in the spring/summer and once in the fall. This trip we went to the Davidson River Campground near Brevard, North Carolina. We ate a lot, drank, napped (amazing!), investigated the farmers market, floated/tubed down the river, went on a couple amazing runs through the woods and enjoyed each other’s company. It was a great time spent with his family 🙂 If you would have asked me 3 years ago if I would enjoy camping the answer most definitely would have been no! Growing up my family never went camping–we are not…
