Date: 27-29 June 2008 (2 nights, 9 Total)
Campground: Watkins Glen State Park
Location: Watkins Glen, NY
Site: 93
Notes: This weekend was the fourth annual PopUp Explorer Gathering @ the Glen rally. In one way or another, we have been to all four rallies. Kristi and I both attended the 2005 rally. In 2006, I was deployed to the Middle East, so Kristi went with one of her friends. Last year, Kristi was 9+ months pregnant, so we did not camp. Instead we went up for the day on the Saturday of the rally. This year, all three members of the Bug clan were camping.
The weekend was great. We really enjoyed reuniting with old camping buddies and making new friends. Lexi was never short of people with whom she could interact.
Since this Sunday was Lexi's first birthday, we thought it would be very appropriate to celebrate it camping. (Seeing that we were camping last year when Kristi went into labor) We got a birthday cake and set it out at the big pot luck dinner on Saturday night.
A note on the site: The site was nice, as they all are at Watkins Glen. However, it was very difficult to back into. In order to get the trailer where I wanted it to go would have involved the front end of the truck hitting a tree.

Father's Day
Date: 13-15 June 2008 (3 Nights, 7 Total)
Campground: ECRA Bass Lake
Location: Parish, NY
Notes: For my first Father's Day, I wanted to go camping. This is the second time we were at Bass Lake. We first came hear last fall for our Columbus Day camp trip. This campground is part of the Resorts of Distinction affiliation. The campground is about 20 minutes north of Syracuse. It's a nice quiet campground. There's nothing really special about it, just a nice place in which to get away.
While we were driving to the campground, we realized we forget to pack a high chair. Since Lexi does a lot better in a high chair, we realized we should probably make a stop. I pulled up the nearest Wal*Mart in the gps and had it route us there. It ended up taking us to a Target. (My maps/POI data is a few years old.) We picked up a small high chair booster that we can keep in the trailer.
Lexi expanded her love affair of camping. She found out she could push her stroller and then wanted push it all around the campground.
