camping and diving trip

With the much need for a mini vacation, thurs after work we loaded up the tribute and headed over to Chad and Tara's house for a camping trip. Fri morning we packed up their min van full of camping and diving supplies, kissed Cooper and Melanie goodbye (they were staying with Tara's parents who came into town so we could get out of town with out baby and puppy) and headed down to key largo. We set up our tents, ate some yummy chili mac, rosted some somemores, had a few drinks, and snuggle down into bed since it got chilly in the middle of the night. Sat morning we got up at the crack of dawn (7:00am) to go diving. We signed up for two tank dives. They were pretty decent dives, 30 ft for about an hour each dive, which was a little long and a little shallow for my liking. We also thought we were going to have a dive guide, but we didn't so something to look better into next time. Not a big fan of being dropped off in the ocean and with a go this way and circle back around. They didn't even pick us up, we had to find them. Oh well scuba do is a scuba don't in key largo. We only had one other diver with us. Chad and I only made one tank dive. Chad had a leg cramp and I was cold and had seen everything I wanted to see (an hour underwater is alot of time especially when cold). Tara and Dave went down for the second dive and said we didn't miss much. It was very pretty, nice coral, lots of fish including baracuda (4 of them who luckily left me alone since I had my wedding rings on and they like shiny things). We go back to the dock around noon and ate subs for lunch. Then we took naps and chilled out at the camp site. Dave made steak and potatos for dinner and we made more somemores (apparently I say some mores not s'mores so I was made fun of all weekend). We slept a bit warmer in our tents. Sunday morning we ate breakfast of eggs, saussage, and bacon and then packed up camp. We got back around 2 to Chad and Tara's, picked up the puppy and then came home 2 hours later. All and all it was a good trip. I kinda felt like we were camping in a parking lot because it was also a rv/permant rv site so the tents were kinda set up along the sides which were on gravel. Key largo also, not much to see. No beaches, nothing interesting, good diving, but I woudl reccomend add the extra 2 hours and drive into key west unless you plan on doing nothing besides sitting in your tent. Anyway live and learn. At least we had a nice weekend away and got some diving in.
