My husband Matt and I have loved to camp since back when we met right after college. Not long after we got married, Matt inherited 40 acres of land on a tiny lake in rural Wisconsin. We've never built anything on the land but it has become our spot to go camping as often as we can get away during the summer. After a long cold winter, Memorial Day weekend was coming up and we were antsy to get outdoors. There are plenty of years where Memorial Day is cold and rainy but the forecast looked good and we were excited to start the summer camping season.
Our trips to the lake have changed now that our kids are out of the house. They have jobs and can't always get away so it's just the two of us these days. As we drove up there we started talking about days of hiking, fishing, and relaxing...all with no electronics! We also started getting in the mood for other things. With 40 acres and lots of trees no one can see us on the property. So we started talking about skinny dipping in the lake and laying out naked in the sun. We couldn't do those things when we were bringing kids to the lake but being in our favorite setting with no one else around made us free to let go with our sex life.
We stopped for lunch on the way up and my husband did one of those things that married couples do. He saw a display of sunscreen, patted me on the behind and whispered we'd better stock up for those tender parts that don't get sun in the winter! I whispered back, you'd better be good or you're not going to be seeing any of those parts!
After lunch we were back on the road. With the conversation and innuendo I was getting a little horny. I did my best imitation of how the kids used to ask in a whiny voice "are we there yet?" He was going to make a smart comment back but didn't get the chance. I slipped my hand down my shorts so he could see I was rubbing myself and said mommy has an itch that you can scratch if we ever get there! It was all kind of juvenile but it was our way of working up to the fun that was going to start as soon as we got there.
Of course as we got close to the lake, there was a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere. There was a road crew repairing a small bridge and traffic had to take turns from each direction to get across the bridge. As we got near where the road crewman was holding the stop sign my husband said I dare you to slide your hand down your shorts so he can see you're rubbing yourself. I told him he was nuts; that the highway patrolmen on the other side of the bridge would arrest me for indecent exposure. He gave me a pouty look so I adjusted my tank top so the guy on the road would be able to see inside if he looked at the right time. As we drove by we could see the surprise on his face followed by him giving us a thumbs up sign. My husband was almost as excited that I had done it as the road guy was that he had seen it. He said I love it when you're naughty! Just for that you can ask me for any naughty thing you want! I blushed when he said that because there is one naughty thing I've wanted to do with him but never had the nerve to ask for. I wasn't ready to tell him about it so I just said be careful what you ask for!
After driving for 3 hours we could finally see the blue of the lake peaking through the trees. We pulled onto the lot and drove over the rough trail that took us down towards the water. As much as I wanted to have sex as soon as we got out of the car, it wasn't going to be light very long and we needed to get our tent set up, some firewood gathered, and our food organized so we could have some dinner. It was 100 times easier to get all that done with daylight so we set to work. Being our first time camping for the year, it took us a little longer to get things together but as the sun was setting we had enough in place so that we could be comfortable on our first night. As the week goes on we make more meals from dehydrated foods. Tonight though, Matt started a fire and I got a couple steaks out of the cooler to go with a salad that I made before we left. While we were waiting for the fire to burn down to coals for cooking, we opened a bottle of wine. We poured a couple of glasses and toasted the start of summer.
