Watson Mill Bridge State Park

Memorial Day Weekend

2016

We decided back in April that we would spend our Memorial Day Weekend camping at Watson Mill Bridge State Park in Comer.  So we left out after work on Friday and arrived at the campsite around 6:30 ready for some much needed rest and relaxation.

Friday night we had our traditional marinated hotdogs for supper and they were delicious.

On Saturday we decided to go exploring.

Watson Mill Bridge

~longest covered bridge in GA

~built in 1885

It was a short stroll through the woods to get from the campground to the bridge & park.  After walking across the bridge (you can drive across it as well) we walked down to the river.  This became a very popular spot as the day progressed with young and old alike trying to beat the heat, playing in the water.

Someone decided to take a siesta...

And later, back at camp, I caught up on some reading...

The rest of the evening was spent by the fire.  We enjoyed turkey burgers for supper followed by s'mores for dessert.

Sunday morning brought rain...not a heavy downpour, just enough to keep you under cover.  So I continued my quest to finish my book while snuggling under a blanket.

The rain cleared out by mid-afternoon so we played some cards and AB biked.

She HATES to wear her helmet but she is convinced that the rangers will give us a "ticket" if she rides without it.

So we ended the night with more s'mores and sparklers!

We headed back home on Monday~rested, relaxed and ready for our next camping adventure.

What kept you busy over the holiday weekend?

Until Next Time,
