Camping at Long Key State Park

What a well kept secret this place is and because its a state park - not that expensive. And what a primo spot we had. The end of our camper is bumped up to the water. 

I indulged in some hipstomatic fun. I like it better than instagram. And no wifi or TV. The phones still worked so there were a couple games of candy crush going on.Everything a camp needs - a table, a grill and some critter hiding in the bushes - and they also blocked us off from the other campers.
Love the privacy.

The path down to the water - and we arrived at sunset. There was a drop off to get to the water however, I didn't go there. There was a big rock at the bottom stealthily hidden by water and we all know how graceful I can be.

That is a raft/dinghy out there and it wasn't anchored that far off shore. We were able to relax and watch the hunter's moonrise. I didn't see anything eclipsing and took no photos because a. moons are tricky and I wanted to watch it and not behind a viewfinder. 
We were totally busy watching the clouds roll by and picking out shapes; a couple of dogs, a dragon and a dolphin/whale.
It wasn't all relaxing and candy crushing - 
we did bring our bikes this round and got a 2 mile ride in everyday.

This is also week 4 of my crossfitting adventure and I must say I'm totally addicted. I'm feeling the results and one day I can't wait to wake up and see the results. I feel great and I'm doing things I never thought I could or would do. Like running, lifting weights and squats. My knees are getting stronger everyday.

My goal is to squat down and get back up. I can do that now. 

My new goal is to squat down and stay there for awhile. Practicing.

I even did the warmups while camping. Who knew.

I had lunch at Avonlea Antique Mall-Hipstomatic fun

Its MILES long, has endless booths and a cafe to keep your
energy up. I had lunch with Tom and Carl 
chowing down on the chicken berry salad. Sooooo de-lish.
 The boys left so I started wandering about. Remember patterns?
I wish I had kept mine, however, in reviewing sizes on these
babies mine wouldn't fit anymore. And in reviewing these
sizes and what's passing for sizes now-a-days 
you are having tricks played on you.
 And doesn't this cabinet make you swoon. It would
look great in our entry. Tom is not buying it. Literally.
 So I had to make a pitstop. This is their version of a powder room.
It took me days to get out of it.
 Just washing your hands was an experience. There are 4 stalls and I used
each and every one. And shopped. Quite the multi-tasker. LOL!
 Since Tommy-boy wasn't buying the cabinet, I found this stove.
oooooooooo  However, he pointed out we have one already.
He's a true romantic :|
And then just when I was thinking where's Connie when you need her,
BAM! found some bottlecaps and receipts. The receipts are from Pennsyvania
railroad shipping to the Edison Electric Light company.
Be Still My Beating Heart. 
Connie, my online blogger pal, is the finder & keeper of all things vintage that rock her pages.
And being the copy cat that I am - bought the bottlecaps.
You need to check her out at Crafty Goodies and bookmark her.
