I just had the best welcome back weekend with my Tacoma family of friends. We camped at Timber! Outdoor Music Festival July 17-19, 2015 out in Carnation on the Tolt river. Everywhere we went there was something fun to try (and loads of kid friendly activities - a huge plus!), but we mainly enjoyed a weekend together lazing on the river and chatting in the shade while our kids disappeared into a make-believe world in the woods. Oh, and there was some pretty great music too.
My personal favorites were The Dead Milkmen and David Bazan. The kids really enjoyed dancing to Beat Connection. I thought it was a really diverse and well curated weekend of performances.
I was relieved that they had cold Sierra Nevada on tap at the main stage and food trucks so that I didn't have to cook over the hot camp stove the whole time - cooking is usually my least favorite part of camping. The Russian dumplings were especially delicious. :)
But the best part was just being with friends. It's so hard when we have kids and jobs and responsibilities to really spend quality time together. I laughed more than I had in a long time. I'll cherish these memories for a long time to come!
