Our First Camping Trip

Left the house at 7am to embark on our first expedition. We loaded up the cargo carrier, put the bikes on the back, fit the cooler inside along with Jacksons bed.

We're headed to Jones Gap State Park. We packed extra stuff to see how much would fit when we're driving cross country and we wanted to practice packing it up before we set out for multiple months. 
Within the first 45 minutes we had to make a quick stop to fix the bikes which were bouncing around on the trunk. 
We picked a nice camping spot along side a river and although it might rain for the whole time were there, it will be great practice of equipment and patience for later. 
So far we have figured out that we each need our own tasks while packing in order to actually get things done. We like to look over each other's shoulders and chime in even when it's unwanted (I think I get that from my dad). 
The rain has already started and were not even past Columbia. 2.5 hours of driving to go.
