We made camp site reservations at our old favorite - Huntington Beach in South Carolina. We cleaned and organized all our camping and beach gear. I researched and purchased the ultimate beach cooler. And then there was a hurricane! No worries, we redirected our family vacation to Lake Cumberland, here in Kentucky, and the whole crew converged on a rented lake house with my parents pontoon boat in tow.
Even better, the family members that weren't up for a beach camping odyssey, like my newest little niece, were able to attend the family vacation now that was in a comfortable house not too far from home. My youngest niece is only five months old, but she's excellent at vacationing!
We were all happy to get some quality baby snuggle time.
The house we stayed in had plenty of room, and a giant back deck perfect for star gazing, smoking meats, lounging in the sun, and tending the campfire. The giant kitchen was perfect for cooking bacon and blueberry pancake breakfasts each morning, before we packed our coolers and headed for the sparkling water.
We swam, rode the inter-tube, enjoyed cold Saki and lunch meat sandwiches, saw a waterfall, and visited the marina for ice cream cones and t-shirts.
I'm happy looking nerd, right?
Good memories were made by all! If you would like to see the rest of our vacation photos, click the video below.
