Bucket List: #61, 67 & 73

My sister and her husband have been going on a Labor day camping trip with some of their friends for the past 3 years. This year Jman and I were invited along. Usually, they entire group goes canoeing down the Shenandoah River on Saturday. After a long debate, Jman and I opted out of the canoe part of the trip due to lack of money and the expense of the trip. When we pulled up to the camp site on Friday however, we found out that two of the people going on the trip had to cancel last minute and there was an open canoe that would be at no expense to us so we decided to go ahead and take the opportunity given to us to do the canoe! Here are some pics from the trip!
