As Long as it Doesn't Rain...

Earlier this year I had the brilliant idea that I wanted to go camping. Camping with friends in college, what could be more fun right? Well, let me tell you a story.

7:00 PM- (the time when we are supposed to be meeting up at my house) Guy calls and says that he will be late
8:00 PM- Said guy shows up (he had all the gear)
9:00 PM- We head to said guys house a half hour away to meet up with some of his friends
10:30 PM- His friends show up, cool.
11:00 PM- Arrive at campsite, there are no lights 
11:30 PM- Said guy realizes he did not have the center poles for the girls tent. So he improvises.
11:45 PM- Said guy informs us that as long as it doesn't rain our tent should be fine.
12:00 AM-4:00 AM- Torrential down-pore. As long as we pulled out legs up in a ball and didn't move at all we didn't get soaked. Yeah...
6:00 AM- Everyone wakes up and we have a 10 minute breakfast and head home. 

Our beautiful tent...



We look good at 6:00 AM after a night of avoiding puddles...



You know how some memories are not that great when the happen but become infinitely better over time? Yeah this is one of those moments. A few months later and now I can't think of a better camping trip that I have been on.
