Camping in the backyard!







Jim and the kids camped out in the backyard last weekend, they have been waiting for some warm weather to try out the "new" tent that Santa brought. They had a great time. We are slowly building up to actually going on a camping trip. I love the idea of camping, just not sure if I will actually love sleeping outside and everything that goes into pulling off a camping weekend for a family of 5. Sleeping on the ground does not sound comfortable, and I'm afraid I am a bit of a campsite snob. I don't want to camp on the side of the highway. I want to be in a beautiful, peaceful setting without the pools and arcades. Easy to find in Vermont, not so much here. So we will keep things small scale for now, and see where this goes. The jury is still out on how serious this family is about camping. If we decide this is the way we want to see America, then I'm thinking an RV might be the compromise we are looking for.
