The tale of how an inspiring group of Camp Pendleton Enlisted Wives Club members were treated to a weekend away from their busy, stressful lives. Thanks to our wonderful campers and their families, this boat-load of delightful women not only experienced a peaceful respite, they were treated to facials and special goodies to tie-dye as mementos. THANK YOU CAMPERS for your generosity. ("Gilligan's Island" was the theme of their group's costume for our Saturday night party.) PS -- during our weekend, TWO deployed husbands called FROM IRAQ to wish their wives a "great time" here. Imagine!!
Just Sit Right Back and You'll Hear The Tale
Shook Our Grove Thing
BELLY DANCIN'!! Baby, those hips and arms were swaying at our most recent Camp weekend. We can only bet the "significant others" back home got a nice performance after this special dance class. We mix it up a bit each camp so you can come home with a NEW dance skill. This one was especially groovy. Thank you, instructors MARLENA and TAJI, who also gave us solo performances of their special dance styles. Mesmerizing!
Sing-A-Long Sneak Peek
Guilty!! We've been known to slightly "renoodle" the lyrics of classic songs to suit our needs. Enjoy THIS ditty (best when sung at the top of your lungs):
SUNG TO GILLIGAN’S ISLAND
Now sit right back and let’s tell the tale,
The tale of a well-earned trip.
That started on this Friday night
I packed, and kissed, and SPLIT.
I jumped into an SUV
With sisters, friends and more.
I didn’t seem to want to stay
Camp GetAway’s in store. CAMP GETAWAY’S IN STORE!
The gossip started getting rough,
The tiny truck was hot!
If not for the snacks and the jokes and sweets,
The fun might have to stop.
We found the Highway Thirty-Eight
Up, up our auto climbed.
Say “adios” to smog and cars,
And stress, we left behind. AND STRESS WE LEFT BEHIND!
Then as we settled into camp,
The little girls emerged.
With giggles, jammies, crafts and s’mores,
My “grumpies,” they were purged.
Now as true Campers we all know
The bunks and bathrooms suck.
But what we love when we get to camp,
Is the “spirit” we get back. THE SPIRIT WE GET BACK!
So gimme lots of R and R,
Rejuvenating fun.
I’ll get a good night’s sleep back home
When my slice of heaven’s done.
Camp GetAway will help me cope
With stresses in my day.
This life’s too short, and I deserved
MY GIRLFRIEND GET-A-WAY!!
