This past weekend, Matt and I went camping with our dear friends, B + P & W + A, at Graveyard Fields off the Blue Ridge Parkway! We had a GREAT time {at the beginning anyway}!
When we first arrived, we immediately set up camp...
Home Sweet Home!
Then we hiked the 4 mile Graveyard Fields Loop.
Later the guys chopped firewood...
And we all drank out of really cool cups!
But THEN…out of NOWHERE…
a STORM started rolling in!
So we quickly changed into our rain gear…
and made dinner in a haste! And by "dinner," I mean that we only had time to throw two hot dogs and three small pizzas on the grill, which later tasted like rain.

| Pita Pizzas & Hotdogs! Yum! |
But within an hour of the first drop we became prisoners of Mother Nature in our tents...
Within two hours, we were floating in nearly 4 inches of water...

| Matt braved the storm, patching our rain fly...while Charlie and I took a little nap. |
After four and a half hours, we called it quits and became prisoners of our car. And it doesn’t end there…the storm left behind a dense fog that prevented us from leaving Graveyard Fields until 6 a.m. Have you ever tried to sleep in a car seat while your clothes are still wet? {We did, not awesome}. Although terrible at the time, we joked about it during our drive home.
Lesson learned.
A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms? Not worth the risk.
