My Camping Experience !! Part 1

This weekend was very enjoyable and will be a memorable one indeed! We went for a camping to KOA Shenandoa Park, Virginea. To start with , I should say we were thinking that camping would be nice when we go with a group ( atleast another couple). My husband always had a like for camping and I had no clue of how it would be. We used to have regular chats when planning weekends for summer about this topic also. But this topic always ends with a point that we need another couple to put up the tent and so on. Then , finally we decided that we are going to proceed with camping that weekend no matter who joined.
We booked a primitive site(no current and water) in the park . We started planning about the stuffs we should take and bought one by one. The day arrived and we started with all the stuffs packed and some food too. Our journey was cool with regular chit chatting . It was drizzling slightly and it began to rain very heavily that we could'nt even drive. We had checked the weather in the morning and found everything was okay. We were slightly into thought about how we were going to put up the tent and so on if it was raining. Even then, we drove with good fun. We reached the spot and the weather was awesome to our suprise.
We opened our tent bag and started putting it up. We tried for about half an hour when an old man from the next tent came and offered help. Our tent construction was completed in five minutes then :) We unpacked some stuff and ate something what we had brought. The place was awesome with a waterfalls close by. We could hear the sound of the falls all the time. There were lot of tents nearby and the place looked good.People were engaged in activities like swimming, fishing , playing golf etc. Kids were having a great time playing and tubing.I was excited about the camp fire. My husband had bought some stuffs like starters, logs of wood etc. I was waiting for the darkness. We had brought some marinated chicken to roast in the camp fire. It was about 9.30 when we started making the fire. It was total darkness and could not see anybody . Chicken roasting in the camp fire made it more interesting. We sat relaxed for sometime when it started to drizzle slightly. We went into the tent. I had always dreamt of sleeping inside a tent when it is raining. I was overjoyed when it started to rain. We had small battery lights with us. It was so exciting .
The next day, we got up late at about 10.00 AM. I should say we started feeling hot slightly inside the tent so we got up. We slept so well in the tent with no discomfort. We decided to go out to some place that day. We looked into the brouchers we had . We came to know about a natural bridge zoo , which was 1 hour drive from our place. A seperate post will come up about the zoo.
