The theme for this month was Glamping! For this date night I wanted my husband to feel the peace and tranquility that camping can give you and the enjoyment of discovering nature and animals. All of my favorite things:-) We went to the Wilds in Cumberland Ohio. It is the largest Conservation Facility in all of North America. It has been in operation since 1989 and it is in Ohio. Who knew? Absolutely beautiful and completely undiscovered. This was an amazing trip and just getting to spend time alone with no distractions other than the belching sounds of the deer below us… and enjoying a bottle of wine while watching the sunset was just too amazing for words. We stayed in a Yurt.  We went on 2 tours. One was a bus that we had to look through the windows because of a storm moving in…more about that later…and the other was a behind the scenes tour in an off-roading truck that took us right into the middle of herds of rhinoceros’, zebras, you name it. We were able to feed and pet the ones that wouldn’t bite us. Spectacular time. Many of the pictures show animals right up by a fence or a cage. This was not their enclosure but the place where they came to be fed and it was feeding time while we were there so they were all ready. The storm that I mentioned earlier hit us right when we were in the very middle of the facility. Did I mention that it is 10,000 square acres? They were announcing over the intercom on our bus to take cover…Our bus driver laughed and said well that’s kind of hard when there’s no where to take cover. So we continued with our tour:-/ You can see some little tendrils sprouting out of the dark clouds during this portion of the trip. I thought we were going to die…Oh and we were the only ones on the bus with the tour guide:-) Very bizarre. Then the other interesting moment was when we were in bed and I noticed a tick burrowed into my knee…Good times!:-) I love nature!
