It Is Finally a Vacation!

When I chose Dead Horse Ranch State Park for my vacation, it was for two reasons.  One, there are plenty of outside dog-friendly activities. Two, I can have a camp fire with s'mores and honest-to-goodness logs (no propane imitation here).  That was all I really wanted to feel like I had achieved vacation nirvana. 

I gave it a good try our first night here but between Drake vomiting marshmallows and the stubbornness of my logs-which refused to give me that flamey glow-it was a failure.  Then Drake ended up in the animal hospital and nothing sounded fun without him.

Tonight I got my camp fire.  Drake sat on the "love seat" lawn chair with me while we enjoyed toasted marshmallows and a care-free moment under the stars.  Now, with my co-pilot next to me by the fire, I finally have my perfect vacation.
