Dylan had his first camping trip last weekend (we went too). We booked a campsite in the Cunningham Falls State Park near the President's Retreat at Camp David. After setting up camp we loaded the little man into his carrier and set off in search of the Falls - it was a rocky descent but worth the walk, the leaves were turning and Dylan had a blast. This was a chance to try out the new "3-man" tent prior to our California trip - plan to do some camping out West next week as well.
After the hike we lit a campfire (no ghost stories but we did enjoy a 1997 Kalyra Carbernet Franc) and when it had burned itself out (the fire and the wine) we set off to bed. Although the temps dropped into the 40s we all stayed walm throughout the night - happy faces the next morning after we all got a relatively good night sleep.

That is very cool! Getting teh young lad out in teh great outdoors so early can only be a good thing! Awesome! Looking ofrward to taking him camping in Oz. He'll probably not share his Dad's irrational fear of spiders and snakes either - after all he does have Aussie blood flowing in his veins.
It's not irrational if they can kill you! ...and to be fair I may not dig the spiders but I've seen you jump like a roo at the sight of a snake (or was that a bent stick?).
Maybe camping in New Zealand...
