For the past several years Marilyn and I have spent opening weekend at the KOA in Fillmore. Opening weekend was actually last week but Marilyn was busy and I, as you know, had lots of Spirit Week nonsense going on so we postponed our trip one week. We have both been anticipating it for so long. It was incredibly relaxing and, boy, was it needed. We both drove down on Friday afternoon (Fillmore is about 150 miles south of Salt Lake) and settled in to our cabin. We spent every day sitting on the porch reading, which I absolutely loved because I haven't had much time for reading lately. We spent every evening sitting by the fire, which is my very favorite part of camping. We stayed up late every night talking until the wee hours and Marilyn may or may not have thought there was a wild animal lurking underneath our cabin ready to attack us as we slept (we found out later that it was a tiny jackrabbit)! One night we drove into Fillmore to have dinner at our favorite hole in the wall cafe called the Garden of Eat'n. For some reason we both think that name is hilarious and we always eat there. The waitress recognized us from last year and told us how cool it was that we could have a girls weekend every year. I loved every minute of this trip and I'm so glad that Marilyn and I are able to do this every year. I hope that this is the first of many camping trips this year.
