Camping at Natchez Trace State Park

After some intense weather.com stalking, we decided to meet up with our favorite Memphis residents at a halfway point for a camping trip at Natchez Trace State Park.  We arrived around lunchtime, gathered firewood, and setup our site. We hiked around the park for a bit before settling in around a campfire until it was SO cold that we had to get in our sleeping bags.  The night dragged on (and on) for me as it was freeeeezing cold.  I was so very glad when the sun finally started shining.  Overall, it was a super fun weekend getaway and reunion with some friends. 

E totally put up her tent by herself.  impressive.
