That sounds so awesome.
I only had packet hot chocolate the last time I camped. It was cold, though, so I was pretty happy to have it. Then yesterday I saw an awesome insulated french press mug that stores the coffee grounds, two mugs worth, in the base. I was all, that is worth the weight in my backpack; I am totally getting that.
My friend Lawrence is like, super-camper (he's a hard-core caver, if anyone ever wants to go caving in SoMo or N. Arkansas, I can hook you the hell UP!) and camping with him is AWESOME.
The fire always blazes, he makes blueberry cobbler in a hole in the ground, you never, ever get lost, if it rains, you have awesome cover in like, 5 minutes, and twice, he's hauled in a homemade sauna, and we end the day saunaing with eucalyptus and plunging into spring-fed rivers, then back to the sauna. Heaven!
Now I want to go camping. I should look into doing that over the Christmas break. It is a great time to go to the Keys camping.
I just purchased a nativity scene for probably way too much, but my old one is really in rough shape. It seems they are only available on line so I have to wait a few days too. Oh well, I will have to do some lights and stuff this weekend to prepare.

Is the Coral Grill still open down in the Keys?

I'm so pathetic. I read this with a growing sense of, "You did what? Then what? And you enjoyed it?" Outdoorsy, I ain't. Which is weird, when you consider how I spent my summers as a teenager. I guess my tolerance for roughing it has strictly defined limits.
Yes it is, David. Yum! There are way too many good places to eat on the Overseas Highway.

eta I was walking Frankie last night and thought, I want to go home, and meant New Orleans. ::sigh::
Bitches, I need some opinion type help- I want to blow up and frame a couple of photos for my sister for her Christmas gift from her visit here last month. I've narrowed it down to four (at least for now) and I kind of would like some of your thoughts. (Feel free to tell me if they suck, too-- God knows, I'm new at this.)
