Camping Memories – One of Many

Hammonasset Beach was one of our favorite places to camp – especially after Labor Day!

We’d go online and reserve our spot for Beach Road for a late September trip. The campgrounds would be nearly deserted, the crowds of the summer, long gone.

The beach was so close, it was easy to get a sunrise or sunset, which anyone who knows me, knows is something I can’t pass up! I just had to stay until that sun dropped below the horizon, taking picture after picture.

Cody, Jessie, and Char would invent games to play, watch their dads fish, or just run along the beach until they were worn out.

Every night there was a campfire with marshmallows and we’d all be bundled up because it was getting cold at night! But our campers kept us all so snuggly and warm throughout the night – until that sun popped over the horizon.

As Cody got older, it was difficult to get a weekend away between sports. We finally sold the camper but I think we all remember our Hammonasset Beach Road weekends.

I am a collector of family history - pictures, stories, facts - whatever I can get my hands on. I share that at It's All About Family. I started Thoughts From the Passenger Seat because I have a lot on my mind! It started riding on the back of my husband's motorcycle and on business appointments but I don't do much of either anymore but the thoughts are still there. I enjoy writing and I hope you find something that you connect with on either of my blogs. Thoughtsfromthepassengerseat.blog - Thoughts From the Passenger Seat NancyB422.com - It’s All About Family
