It has been and will continue to be a buzzy buzzy week. Too much stuff to do in order to get ready for our big camping trip, and not enough time in which to do it.

A few things I'm looking forward to: relaxing around a campfire with people I barely know (and not caring that I don't know them); hiking in the desert; being off the grid and self-sufficient for a long time; leaving work behind for awhile; not showering for 6 days and 5 nights. Ok, maybe not that last one.

All the stress of getting ready is worth it, though. We do this at least once a year, where it's a bigger deal getting ready than the actual trip is, but it's always a trip where we wish we could stay longer. It's only the beginning of the camping season, and I'm already looking forward to the end, just because it'll be another one of these well-worth it trips.
