Okuma Camping

Last month we had our first “camping” experience as a family. We borrowed a tent from some friends and took advantage of a long weekend to spend the night up at Okuma. It was freezing(for Okinawa) and we were pretty ill-prepared but we still had a great time!

The reason I said we went “camping” is because we had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant there, haha! We are easing our way into it and I’m sure we will do real camping soon.
We did roast marshmallows for smores!

The next morning…good morning, Okuma!

So, that was mid January and as soon as we got home Rich ordered a tent and sleeping bags for all of us, hahaha! We had another long weekend for President’s Day so we had to try out all of our new gear. We packed up and headed up to Okuma!

Once we got set up we got some dinner.

We sat around the fire that night and talked about the most random things.
 
Some of our camp fire randomness.
 
 
One of the things I love about Rich is that he loves to teach our kids. We were looking up at the stars and pointing out constellations when this started .
 
 
We slept great and woke up hungry and ready for breakfast….so we walked to the restaurant, haha!

After a delicious buffet breakfast we packed up camp and hit up the beach one last time.

Beautiful camping trip! And you had the best scout leader ever who loves camping so I bet you will have many more trips! I think you should try some more "primitive" camping, though! (Although that breakfast buffet sounds yummy!)
