Jess and I are headed to New Braunfels for a camping trip with 18 other people for the long weekend. Our tent will be pimped out with a queen sized air mattress, electricity, a fan, and a radio. Yes, this is still considered camping.

It's not the usual group that we hang out with and I'm excited about that. There are some really great people going that I don't get to see enough of and some new people that I'm very anxious to meet. Along with all the socializing, I intend to relax, read a good book, and get some great photographs.

I'm not sure if we're taking the scenic route (down US-281) or the quick route (down I-35) to get there. It'll depend on our mood when we head out Friday morning. I'm pretty sure we'll be taking the scenic route and heading out around 9am leaving us enough time to visit Fredericksburg, Inks Lake State Park, and Enchanted Rock once again. We should get to the campsite around 6pm.

If the river is high enough, we'll do some tubing. Otherwise, we'll enjoy some hiking and wading in the river. Thankfully, I've already found another early riser like myself on the trip so, hopefully, I'll be able to talk her into an early morning hike or too. Hiking alone in the morning is beautiful, but, it's even more beautiful if you have someone with the same appreciation of that beauty to share it with.

Our meal to bring is Lunch on Sunday. We're going to bring the ingredients for a Italian style pasta salad and then put it together there. We'll also be visiting a local Restaurant for some outstanding German food at least once, twice if there are enough people on my side.

We'll be heading home on Monday some time after lunch. I'm guessing we'll be home before 7pm.
