Fall, Friends & Four Wheelers

Our Camping Adventure | Fall 2015

filed in:

After our triple header weekend in October, we left our third wedding and drove straight to Lexington. We went to Big Spring Farm and spent the night. We slept in, did a few things to prep the blog posts for that week and then we packed the car and went on an adventure! CAMPING!! My parents have had an RV since I was born. Pop-ups, Trailers, Class-C’s, Class A’s… we’ve tried them all! We went camping when we were growing up instead of renting beach houses or going to Disneyland and I wouldn’t have ever wanted it to be any different.

Because Daddy still has a camper that our family uses several times a year, we asked if the four of us could use it and go on a little adventure! Of course Kevin James said yes and so off we went!! West Virginia here we come! We pulled out of the farm and the adventure began!! We were headed to Burning Rock…. that’s right….our final destination was FOUR WHEELER TRAILS!!!! It may have been cold and rainy but that didn’t keep us from having a blast! We rode four wheelers up and down the mountainside all day, had a campfire at night, made the most amazing dinner, played games and just relaxed in the middle of no where!! Some people would want to finish a triple header and just sleep for 4 days and that did sound nice…. but hanging out in the mountains with our best friends was the absolute BEST way to celebrate the end of our wedding season!!! :)

Jilly made a little video on her IPHONE of our trip and we love it! She’s AMAZING! Ps. If you love this.. you’ll love following her on INSTAGRAM!! Enjoy the video! …. Especially the ending… we worked REALLY hard on that part. :) Enjoy a little snapshot of our trip!!!
