As you have probably noticed I have been missing most of the month of October. It has been crazy busy, full of broken things and sickness but this past weekend we escaped it all for a couple of days.<\/p>\n
This was a trip we decided we needed in September and the only available weekend or chance for a reality break was based on the football schedule.\u00a0 I am so glad we made it happen!\u00a0 Lesson of the month, if a teenager suggesting getting away as just a family you need to do it.<\/p>\n
We left Friday around 11:30 and arrived back in the driveway Sunday around 4pm. But we managed to squeeze lots of fun into a short time. We did not know when we first started planning that Ocean Lakes campground does a “Halloween experience” each weekend in October. We decide immediately to join in.\u00a0 We decorated out campsite and Easton enjoyed trick\u00a0 or treating with probably at least a thousand other kids.\u00a0 \u00a0I got to spend at least 3 hours sitting on a beach with the sand on my feet and wind in my hair.\u00a0 I needed that refresher, even the need for a blanket in the sun did not damp my enjoyment but it did shorten the length we sat there. We enjoyed a food truck festival and bounce houses on Saturday. A fire pit and smores along with an outdoor movie added to the fun.\u00a0 The cost for this quick getaway was $1106 and I consider it well spent money!<\/p>\n
