Here’s a quick recap of my camping trip.
Daisy, Mom and Dad’s new rescue pup
First wine. Inexpensive chard. Refreshing!
(I think the name was what got me.)
A campground view. This used to be a road!
A little cupcake by the fire.
Taking time to stop and smell the flowers.
A day at Fernandina.
And the next night’s wine. Thanks Courtney!
Cooking that delicious dinner of chicken thighs, roasted red pepper aioli and caramelized eggplant with white wine. Mmmm…
Notice how well the bright sauce goes with the Sesame Street plates and the garishly colored camping table cloth. Ok so this isn’t the best photo of such an amazing dish but look at what I had to work with here. Don’t worry, I’m doing a redo of this dish and promise to get a better photo.
The next day we hit an army and navy surplus store (my dad is an ex-Marine). Here we encountered Bruiser, the very fluffy, very large and very sweet Newfoundland. My little one even got to take a ride!
Our last day was spent at the most beautiful park in St. Marys, GA.

I LOVE Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc too – actually, having some now! Cheers my beautiful and culinarily gifted friend! See you in almost a week
Love you! Steph
