Camping in Connecticut: The First Nite

Camping! Ah the great outdoors. We went to Hammonasett Beach State Park for a long Father's Day weekend. It was only two hours away but felt like a new world. There was so much to see and do at this site, it's worth coming back.

We excitedly set up camp the first night including our newest gear seen next to the truck behind the trees, our blue Eureka screen house.





Grilling some hot dogs, we hear a loud speaker around the campground, "Attention, severe weather expected in the next half hour." Whoops, better get to battening down the hatches. We put the kids to bed and rode out the storm in the tent. At around 8:00 the heavy storm passed and the sky began to glow!

Luck was on our side this nite since the bad weather quickly came and went. The kids were happily sleeping in the tent so we enjoyed this light and then I played my first game of cribbage in the screenhouse with my lady.

In the next post, we hit the beach!
