Our camping weekend!

This past weekend Steve and I decided to take Sparky camping.  We decided to stay local, and went to Lake Del Valle in Livermore.  

The weekend started off a little late.  I got home late from work Friday, and by the time I got home we still had packing to do.  No matter how much prep work is done, there is always more to do.  I have to give it to Steve... He did a great job preparing for the trip.  We arrived at camp a little before 9pm.  We were able to set up camp pretty quickly.  Dinner was fantastic.  We had chicken and vegetables cooked in foil, marinated in garlic and lemon.  So tasty.

Sparky had a rough first night.  He was on high alert all the time.  He whined and growled a lot.  Trying to sleep that night was challenging, Sparky seemed to wake up with any noise he heard.

Saturday we had some great hikes!  The hikes there had a lot of rolling hills, so it was a good challenge.  Sparky loves hiking.  We were also able to get some fishing in.  Steve was not able to catch anything, but still enjoyed fishing.  I didn't get as much reading as I would have liked but overall it was nice.

Our dinner Saturday was also great!  Trout!  Yum!  Did I mention our dessert?  We ate bananas split and stuffed with marshmallows and chocolate chips, and cooked over the fire.  Soooooo good.

It was sad packing up Sunday.  But we were able to get another hike in and two more fishing hours.  

Overall,  a great weekend!  We think Sparky needs to try again.  I also want to try some backpacking.  I hadn't camped in 20 years, I couldn't believe how much fun I had.
