This year around Thanksgiving we had just moved into our new place and had yet to even get a chance to grab a bite to eat in our new neighborhood and have a fire. So, we opted to spend Thanksgiving day with some friend's and their family, then the next day having dinner and a lovely fire in our place and heading out to camp for just one night. We didn't have much time to plan it this year and we felt like going out for any longer would just be us doing it for the sake of doing it. I'm really glad we chose to do what was actually best for us and not push it. The day and a half we did go out for Campsgiving was lovely, not stressful, and was able to be fully enjoyed.
We went on a short 3 mile hike at Rockport State Park where we found mushrooms abound, watched the mist slowly change the landscape and played with face sized leaves. Then we headed to another park where we hung out and slowly made our Campsgiving dinner of turkey with gravy, fire roasted garlic mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts with leek, and our favorite the sausage and mushroom stuffing. Roslyn was partial to the mashed potatoes.
Then the next morning we drove down a forest road in hopes of finding a Christmas tree to chop down, sadly this road never really opened up to have any fields of trees under 20' but we were there and determined so we found one small wonky tree and nabbed it. It is the goofiest tree we've ever cut down but he's ours.
