This past weekend I headed to Jamaica State Park in Vermont for some camping! Originally my boyfriend and I were going to go for our 1 year anniversary in July but my parents planned a family vacation to Rhode Island so we changed our plans. We changed our dates to match up with when my Aunt & Uncle were going with my cousin and youngest and then my other brother tagged along as well! We've been going to this campground since I was 9 or 10 so it's one of my favorite vacation spots.

If you're within a few hours of it, Jamaica State Park is a nice cheap option for a weekend (or longer) trip! The trip was just over $100 and we divided that by 4 people, so super affordable! I call it half-glamping because they do have bathrooms and showers - you pay for hot water. I don't usually shower while we're there because I like to live dangerously (or swim in the river.)

The trip was full of hiking, (illegally) feeding chipmunks, sitting by the fire, eating smores and grilling up tasty food! We also spent one morning in Weston, Vermont to go to my favorite store. More on that tomorrow!  Here are some photos from the trip!

Always have to do a handstand

S'mores are the best!

Can you see the Big Dipper?!!!

The mos treacherous trail. We biked 2 miles and then hiked UPHILL for 1 mile to get here.

Look, fish!!

Last weekend I went on my 6th annual camping trip with my two best friends. I used to go every Summer with my family starting at around 6 years old. Unfortunately we stopped once I was midway through high school (I went a few times after that with my aunt and uncle.) But once I graduated college my two best friends and I started our own tradition of going.

Sadly this year we got rained out. We got up there on Friday and went on a hike, had dinner and went to sleep. We were woken up by rain at 2 in the morning and the tent was leaking. NOOOO! It only rained for a couple hours but the next day/night was supposed to be very rainy so we decided to leave Saturday and finish our weekend at my house. Before leaving Vermont we had to go to Weston and my favorite store - The Vermont Country Store.

Even though the weekend didn't go exactly as planned we still had a great time! Here are some photos. And you are only seeing my hikinh outfit since it was rainy and I didn't want to take outfit pictures the rest of the time, ha ha! How do you like my fanny pack?

We made it to the overlook!

So so so good!

This past weekend I went on my 5th annual camping trip with my best friends in Vermont. We've been going every year since we graduated college. My family and I used to go to the same campground every year when I was younger so I decided to keep the tradition going on my own.  We always have a great time hiking, swimming in the river and going to my favorite place: The Vermont Country Store. Funnily enough, Amanda Seyfried was there TWO DAYS BEFORE ME. I was so mad, ha ha.  Anyway...here are some photos from the trip!

(yes, the photos are only of me, but I want to keep my friend's privacy)

Here is my last camping outfit, and is not something you will normally see me in: workout clothes. I'm not one for going to the gym or working out, so I don't have much need for athletic wear. I don't even own sneakers! (I borrowed a friends for this outfit.) But, since I knew we would be going on some hikes during our trip, I decided to get some real workout clothes, this is when I discovered Fabletics! I saw a commercial where Kate Hudson was talking about the site and how you can get your first outfit for $25! A full outfit for $25? I'm in!  This look came with shorts, a top and a sports bra, but there are a bunch of combinations.

This shirt is AMAZING! We were hiking for quite a while (5 miles one day and a little under the second) and I knew I was getting, you know...sweaty, and you couldn't even tell with this shirt. It is so good at keeping you dry. And the shorts come with built-in underwear, but I am too self-conscious for that, so I wore other underwear too. (Never though I would say that word on this blog! Some things are meant to stay private, ha ha)

This is NOT a sponsored post, I just like the outfit!
