First Morning in Camp

We arrived here at Carolina Beach State Park last evening at about 6:30 pm and got set up before dark. We didn't put out any of our outdoor chairs or the screen room because of the forecast for rain.
I'm not sure when the rain started, but it woke me up sometime after 4 am and has been raining on and off since then. I stepped outside to take the title photo shortly after we finished breakfast during a lull in the precipitation. K just left to take Sophie for a walk and had been gone about three minutes when the rain began to fall again.
We ordered breakfast from the Southerly Biscuit and Pie Company, an independent bakery only a mile or so from the campground. Both of us ordered the biscuit with sausage gravy - a perfect meal for a wet morning.
Walking on the beach is out of the question for today. Staying in the camper and getting some writing done, watching some movies, and doing some reading is much more in keeping with the situation.
How is your weekend shaping up?

Have fun and hopefully it stops raining there. It is cold and windy here so I will be staying inside

@wolfgirl569 It does make us appreciate being in a 5th wheel camper instead of a tent.

This photo reminds me of those few precious months I spent camping in our RV at the beach too. Have fun DW.
