Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads.
Last weekend, my husband and I fit in one more camping trip while the weather was nice...or so we thought! It turned out to be gray all weekend and rainy at times, though still pretty warm. THIS weekend, of course, when we are at home, it is 77 and sunny! Oh, well - we did enjoy a nice camping weekend, including a hike and a campfire. Here are some highlights from our weekend at Elk Neck State Park in Maryland - one of our favorite camping spots less than an hour away. It's been over a decade since I could manage the hike to the lighthouse, but I did it last weekend!

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous weekend!
Looks like a beautiful place to hike and camp. It's especially nice that it's so close to your home. LOVE your photo of the spiral staircase. Congratulations on making the trek to the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteWhat was life like for #Washington’s pioneers in 1887?
