I am always up for a quick weekend trip and this outing did not disappoint.
There is really something to be said about an afternoon nature hike where you see scores of butterflies and dragonflies who seem to fly around you like little fairies.
Or to see the beams of golden sunlight peek through the lush landscape of pine and birch trees...
It was almost like God (and Mamoo) were smiling down on us as we trudged through the brush. 
Then, as we walked toward the shore of the lake on the campground, we saw a beautiful, large rainbow. (which there is a second small one right behind it!) It was a gorgeous sight!
As the night drew upon us, we embraced that still, tranquil moment of twilight where the sky turns that majestic shade of purple and all sounds are drowned out by the song of cicadas.
While I really enjoyed having some s'mores and eating bbq by a campfire, I do think the part I loved most about this camping trip was our midnight bike ride.
We took a bike ride very late one night and just about everyone on the campground had retired to bed for the evening. All we had to guide us was the light of the very bright and low full moon shining over the lake. I have never felt a feeling of peace like I did at that moment as I let the breeze blow through my hair while I coasted down a hill on my bike.
There is just something so incredibly good for the soul when you take in all of the beauty of the nature around us.
