Brian and I finally got a vacation together for the first time in our entire relationship (except for the honeymoon). We took the opportunity to begin a new adventure...camping! We had gotten all the necessary things for our wedding thinking that would be a fun hobby. Obviously, we hadn't had the opportunity to try it out, so we packed up our bikes, the dog, the tent, the cooler, the fishing gear, and the boy and headed to Glenville to Cedar Creek State Park. We decided that if it was a disaster, we would only be about one hour away from home and we could come back in the middle of the night if need be.
We made it down to the campground in mid-afternoon on the first day and set to work on setting up the tent. It wasn't that difficult, but we have to admit that we didn't have it completely right, but it was close enough. After we got the tent up, Brian wanted a little nap, but Isaac was too excited to let Daddy sleep.
We rode our bikes, fished, went to the playgrounds, went swimming at the pool, and had wonderful naps and campfires. We were both surprised at how well Isaac slept at night and during his naps! The first night, there were some raccoons who got into our trashcans, but Sammy, who was sleeping in the car, barked and chased them off. We stayed a total of two nights and came away feeling very good about our new-found hobby. This is definitely something we will do again!

Sounds like you had a great time! We love camping! We have tried out a lot of different parks but have never ventured to Cedar Creek - I'm looking up their website now to see if it looks like something we like. We really love Ohiopyle in PA (it's still only about an hour away.) Maybe you guys will have to go with us sometime.
