OK so I know that only the people that have actually stayed in a YURT will think my title is funny. But for those of you who have no idea what a YURT is let me fill you in. It stands for Year-round, Universal, Recreational, Tent. And man are they neat. This is a view of the outside and further down you will see the inside. It is basically a circular tent built with a heavy duty wood frame inside and wrapped in heavy canvas with a fiber glass sky light. At this campground there is only one and it can be rented for $30 a night. It is truly camping in luxury for this YURT has a heating/cooling ac unit, table and chairs, queen bed, dresser, and bunk with a full futon below. The first time my family stayed in this was for one of my birthdays and it takes me back every time I go now. We have made such great memories here and I hope we can do the same for our kids. Karina is getting a great start and had her first time in the YURT last weekend and loved it!
Yes, Daddy hooked her up with a movie and all. Look at that smile!
After our hike we went for a drive (very short and in the park ) to a lovely plantation home. And while there I couldn't help but capture some of the lovely leaves.
I though it would be funny to show you my "fancy" table setting. Oh and our dragon fly lights in the background.
SO there you have it! Our fun little family camping trip. I know it will only be more fun as Karina gets older and has even more of a sense for adventure. But for now Jeff and I will enjoy the "slow" pace that having a little one affords and know that before long she will be running and biking ahead of us shouting "come on mom and dad!" Hope you all are enjoying this lovely fall weather and don't be afraid to venture out with your little ones. It will be more fun then you know!
