Just Another Day on the River

We've had several visitors at Camp Murray the past week, and only 2 more until Tuesday.  Meghan (Kev's cousin) came up the day Kevin and I left for Quebec a week ago, but left this past Friday.  Friday, a friend of Kev's from college and his wife came up for one night. Yesterday, (Saturday) Jill, Kevin's sister arrived.  It's been a bit of a revolving door around here and I have a whole new appreciation for Aunt Pat and Uncle Gus's hospitality all summer long! When we first arrived at camp, there were an abundance of chores to do, but lately it's just been one relaxing day on the river after another.  Here's a typical day on the river...
8-9am Wake up ( after an incredible night's sleep)
9-11am  Enjoy coffee, breakfast, a run, and some easy reading (on the deck when weather permits)
11am-5pm Lounge/sunbathe on the deck with a book, ride the waverunners, and if it's hot enough "swim" in the river.
5-6pm Coktail hour ( a camp staple)
6-7:30pm Prep and cook dinner, eat dinner, clean up, look for how the sunset will be that evening
7:30-???? Play dominoes, a card game, and hang out

It's no wonder why when Kevin first described "camp" to me that I was intrigued, but you just have to experience it to truly know what an amazing place it is.  Don't get me wrong, I've been to Greece, Amsterdam, the Carribbean, and those are all amazing places in their own right, as are so many others on my travel list.  Camp is just a place where I truly DO forget about the routines and annoyances of day to day life, and I'm able to completely relax and step outside my own head for quite awhile.
