With the purchase of our trailer and dying to get out and use it we scheduled a camping trip for the weekend of the 28th - 30th. We went out to Fort Canby, now called Camp Disappointment, which is located right next to the town Ilwaco and Longbeach. As the time got closer we knew the weather wasn't going to be that great but we had already made the reservations and decided to stick with our plan.

The campground was really nice and there wasn't that many people around. On Saturday it was rainy off and on, but we got enough sun breaks where we could take Payton out to enjoy the beach. On Sunday it was a different story. I woke up at 4am to find snow on the awning which was weighing it down. So there I was outside trying to get the incredibly heavy snow off while trying not to wake my daughter. Thank goodness I got up at that time and was able to clear it off, the next day others in the park weren't that lucky. Trailer awnings ended up in the dumpster as they snapped under the pressure. That's not a cheap fix!

Next camping trip we're h0ping for clear sky's and warmer weather.
