Our New Hobby

We have really branched out since we moved to Arkansas.  It all started when we chose not to live in a subdivision, and instead bought a house "in the country" with three and a half acres.  Mark started saying the word "tractor" a lot, and we all started using the phrase "going to town."  Our truly country friends laugh at us, but for us, we stepped way outside our comfort zone.  We branched out even more a couple of months ago, and bought a new (to us) pop-up camper.  

We went tent camping for the first time as a family in October.  I really liked it, but did not enjoy the tent part so much.  So, I asked for a pop-up for Christmas.  I did not get one (it was not in the Christmas budget), but I did start searching Craig's List for possibilities.  We stopped in Jackson, TN on our way home from Christmas vacation and looked at a camper. We really liked it, so we put a deposit down and went to pick it up when our income tax return arrived.

We took our first trip this past weekend.  We headed to Petit Jean State Park.  Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time.  I have suggested that we name our camper Addie, short for Adventure.
