Winter Camping at Confluence

We love being able to camp in all seasons of the year. We were a little antsy to get away as a family and leave the pressures of life behind for a bit, so we took a quick trip over to Wenatchee and stayed at Confluence state park. We have camped here before in the summer time, but this would be completely different in the winter and with no boat, etc.

There was hardly anyone there – we had the whole park to ourselves it seemed. A few other die-hards were around, too, but we were able to all have some space between us.

Ashley & Lauren were bummed that it wasn’t nearly the same experience as in the summer. There was a ton of goose poop all over the grass (making the girls not really want to explore outdoors much) and it was super COLD!! We still did get out for a few walks. We ended up running into town to get movies a few times and even stopped for Starbucks one day, too. Boy were we roughing it or what! ;)

We even celebrated Valentine’s Day in our humble little camper (rather than going out to a restaurant like we normally do), but I say it was good trip. Why? Because we were together and we weren’t focused on a bunch of other people or other responsibilities. We talked a lot and spent time together. That’s what family is supposed to do!!
