Gathering @ the Glen 2008

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.
