Let the journey of inspiration begin!

Mornings are Rough, But Camping Makes it Easy

Mornings are typically rough (I mean, who really wants to get up), but coffee always gets the morning sleepy grogginess away. 

Camping doesn't make just mornings easy, it makes everything easier! And there is almost nothing like having a cup of coffee in the early morning with the birds in their morning chats amongst each other while the sun is rising. 

Camping has always been an exciting and relaxing time for me. Growing up, my mom would take me on camping trips during the summer. The late campfires, tent sleeping, and fun games. 

This design is done in different colors and font styles to choose from.

The Inspiration

Every detail in this design holds special significance. The mountains in the backdrop take me back to that unforgettable camping trip with Mom and friends and the forests are a remembrance to the childhood camping trips with her friends on the trip to Virginia.

The two kayaks and the campsite capture the anticipation of future river adventures with Tom. Then there's Sam, the ever-loyal canine companion, who is always ready for an expedition and always the first to curl up by the campfire when night falls.

The winding river coupled with the kayaks is more than just water and boats; it's a vivid flashback to my inaugural whitewater river journey in the Crescent earlier this Spring at Wise Creek. It was there, with Tom's guidance, that I plunged into the exhilarating world of whitewater for the first time. And, of course, I couldn't leave out Tom's trusty truck — our go-to ride for all our weekend getaways

On every camping journey, I'll always spot a fisherman, offering a distant wave as I tread a trail or on a scenic drive near the campsite. No words need to be  exchanged. We're there for the same purpose of enjoying the tranquility of nature.

As we draw the curtain on this chapter, remember that every design is more than fabric or ink—it's a reflection of a journey, a captured moment of adventure. Carry these stories with you, wear them with pride, and let them inspire your own adventures.
