Marlene asks...

If you had the chance to go any where in the world free of charge all expenses paid where would you like to go?

A. Oh, I'm terrible at these kinds of questions. I haven't traveled a whole heck of a lot but if I could go anywhere, free of charge, I would want to find a place that had a fairytale kind of charm to it. Probably in the Old World, somewhere. With castles and cobblestone paths, thick with history. I would want to have a whole family take me in, adoring me and totally taking care of me. That last part really appeals to me...I would like that very much.

I really loved Prague...we went to the Opera there one night and then wandered the streets afterwards. A big fat rat ran across our path. It sounds scary but it was really very much like a fairytale.

When do we leave?

a big let down

okay, so I owe you a big apology. I have no pictures of a grand camping set up...mostly because there was no grand camping set up. The trip to the campground that should've taken just 2 1/2 hours ended up taking 6. And 3 of those hours were spent with an inconsolable baby in the backseat. By the time we got to the campground, it was almost dark and we were not in a good mood, not one of us.

We also discovered upon arriving at the campground that we were to share a campsite. I just didn't feel like pulling out all the stops in a shared campsite.

I'm sorry if it's a let down. But boy oh boy am I glad to be home.

Home sweet home, ain't it the truth?

treats!

We're getting ready to hit the road but I wanted to show you these rice krispie treats on a stick that I made for the kiddies. Rainbow sprinkles make everything better, don't you think?

I'm also roasting some potatoes to finish cooking over the fire pit for the pot luck tonight. I'll drizzle crumbled gorgonzola over them just before serving...yum!

I'm also planning on making flat bread pizzas on the grill. I haven't tried this before so I hope it works out...fresh heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar drizzled over...doesn't that sound great. I'll just have to keep my eye on it and take it off just as the cheese gets melty but before the crust burns. It'll be tricky.

Hope you have a good weekend...I'll show and tell the camping trip on Monday.
