Treehouse Camping

We decided to take advantage of Amelia being out of school on Monday and Tuesday and went camping at the Maple Tree Campground in Maryland, about 1 1/2 hours away. We had tried to go here back in February, but then this happened and we had to cancel. They have a bunch of different "treehouses" you can stay in. They are rustic, but have beds and a woodburning stove which was good since it ended up being pretty chilly while we were there.

I definitely got my leaf fix in. The colors were amazing. We enjoyed roasting s'mores around the campfire and playing games inside the treehouse after dark. Amelia was completely in awe of all the stars at night. It was nice to get out and enjoy Fall. We all slept comfortably but it was pretty cold outside of our sleeping bags in the morning. Ben was kind enough to make us all hot chocolate to coax us out of bed.

We came across some Civil War historical site on our way to the campground:

Elsa called it a fairy house after Amelia pointed out the perfect fairy tree outside the door. Amelia spent her time gathering food (acorns) for the fairies. I picked up her jeans that night and countless acorns came pouring out of the pockets onto the cabin floor. We were all stepping on acorns the rest of the night.
