There were marble bathrooms by the spring, but seriously, who is keeping track! We went for Jax's b-day. We didn't stray too far from home and just went to Krause Springs, this beautiful natural spring park with a private family owned camp ground just 34 miles from the house. (Click here to see someone else's fantastic photos of the whole property.)
It was surprisingly relaxing – for a non-camping girl like myself. There were an abundance of red ants and Nina had a run in with them at 1AM, but other than that it was relatively painless.
The hands-down best part of this place was the natural spring. I can’t wait to bring Ian back to see it.

And, for risk-adverse me, this is a pretty big deal, I pulled myself up a rock and then went flying off on the rope swing. I kid you not! Everyone was so shocked that I actually did it.

But, it is a toss up which they were more proud of: me going off the rock swing or drinking a bottle of pinot and peeing in pitch black scorpion/rattlesnake outdoorsyness (yuck)!!!
All in all it was a fantastic time, thanks to the Violated Girls...don't ask the song will be released soon enough!

Just keep thinking, "I can hear the rattlers and squash the scorpions" and you'll be OK.
