We left at 4am , drove 6 hours and arrived JUST on time to board the ferry for Cumberland Island. Only to realize our family of five and all our packed gear for out 1st official camping trip was...not...even...going to fit on that boat. I watched them board the ferry with one backpack per person. No sleeping bags or pillows and coats in sight. Where were their coolers or even tents for that matter? Seriously my boys were not going to live off granola an entire weekend, hence the very large cooler with wheels that took up the entire back of our van. Did I mention there were 5 of us,including 4 BOYS camping for an entire weekend? They can do without running water, electricity or heat but will not miss a snack practically every hour.
Change of plans...
While we ended up on a different island and different beach I have a feeling we created just as many great memories for our 1st family camping trip either way.
