The Carters Go Camping

When Thais mentioned to several family members that she was going to go camping, they all looked at her with the same amused look and asked, "You?" Determined to prove them wrong, we set out with our extremely qualified camping mentors, Aaron and Lenore, to backpack into Governor Dodge State Park just outside of Madison, Wisconsin.

We had some much-needed relaxation time playing cards (too many hands of Rook to count), swimming, and learning how to set up tents.





On our way home, we stopped by the New Glarus Brewery for a beer tasting and had a very tasty lunch at a "traditional" Swiss restaurant.




You'll be pleased to know that other than a fairly loud, "ewww" when treading through some swampy water (in the dark!) to get into the campsite, Thais did well.
