There's no place like home...except camp!

There's no place like home.  That is, unless you have another "home".  After 5 short weeks, it was time to close up the campsite, winterize the camper and head home to prepare for winter.

But as sad as it is, Camp Half Blood (yep, that's the name) will be something that I will look forward to all winter.  Hopefully, just the thought of it waiting there for us will get all of us through the snow and ice.  Just 5 short months and we'll be ready to head to the hills again.

And I promise, all four of us will make it for "opening" weekend.  I wouldn't have it any other way!

And if you're wondering about the name...you need to read the Rick Riordan "Heroes of Olympus" series.  It's not a gory name...it's about the children of the Greek Gods.  Half human, half god.  Half Bloods!  And since I think all three of the men in my family are Gods...it was a perfect name.

So in a nutshell...Thank you, Hunter, for spending another awesome weekend with us.  Your help closing it down was appreciated more than you know.  Hopefully you caught up on a little sleep too!

Thank you, Jeff.  For the camper, the campsite, the fun, the laughs, the Little House of the Prairie marathons and for just being awesome!

Oh, and thank you both for the wonderful steak dinner at the famous Jacks Steak House.  It was an experience that I'll never forget (although I may try!).

Thank you, Will, for taking care of the girls while we worked our tails off.  I would much rather have had you with us.  It would have made the weekend perfect.  I can't wait to see you tomorrow.  I miss you bunches and bunches!

And to everyone reading this...make your reservations at Camp Half Blood now.  I plan on being there every weekend beginning in April :)
