Our first family camping!
A few weeks ago we got out of town for a weekend and went to Catoctin Park north of Gaithersburg, MD. We had tried to go camping in Shenandoah National Park a few weeks ago, but got seriously rained out. So we learned that you don’t make reservations on the east coast — especially in July and August–you never know when in will rain!
Aliyah was stoked to be sleeping in a tent! She was so excited that any nap was out of the question. There is a man-made lake with a roped off area for splashing. We did one small hike and Aliyah enjoyed “balancing” on the rocks.
Although we only went for one night, it was a great practice camping trip for us. Jonathan picked out this great camping area that was only about 1 hour away from Brookland. We are surely planning on going again before the weather gets cooler!

Also, we are thinking about changing our photo gallery over to Picasa web albums. I am not entirely convinced… I am still learning about the program. It’s much easier to use, but we wouldn’t be able to keep the storage for the past years as we have done on the old Gallery. If you have any feelings about this, let us know!
Check out the new Picasa Web album.
