on saturday we pulled out of the driveway with sweet susie q in tow for our maiden voyage! to say i was a little excited would be quite an understatement – i was downright giddy!
we were away for just one night – our weekends are really filling up! – but it was a wonderful 24 hours.
we planned to head out to the river, but after many hours researching the best camping sites with full camper hookups, we opted for beaver lake.
we would highly recommend starkey campground! it’s wonderful for both campers & tent camping. the facilities are clean, the lake is crystal clear, the swimming spots are beautiful & it’s just 30 minutes from downtown eureka springs!
once we arrived, we set up camp in less than thirty minutes. we brought along our pups – huck & dandy – & they did so well! they’re definitely outdoor loving dogs.
before we left, i managed to paint this area of the camper. there’s still so much to do, but i really love the white walls. we are having the cushions recovered this week… i cannot wait to show you!
i also set up this water station just outside of our camper. it’s blueberry & mint-infused water & it was perfect for hydrating.
luke also baked fresh bread for the trip! i made rice krispy treats for dessert, too.
later that evening we cooked dinner over the fire & enjoyed the sunset. we woke up the next morning to an equally beautiful sight.
we enjoyed hot coffee in the crisp morning air while watching a bald eagle’s nest from our campsite!

i cooked breakfast for the first time in our little camper kitchen! it was so much fun! we have a little list going of supplies we forgot that are needs for our next trip… like salt. oops!
after breakfast, we headed out to the lake for some much needed rest.
i brought along my taproot magazine, la croix & watermelon. such a wonderful couple of hours soaking up the sun!
living life with this man is indeed the sweetest. we had such an amazing time with susie q & are thrilled for more adventures to come!
love,
