For those of you who said it wouldn't happen--Hah! We finally camped in our camper that we have had for 3 years. We were telling the gentleman next to us our saga, and he commented that it isn't all bad to wait until the boys are this age so you can say, "Stay out of the campfire. Don't lean over the dam, etc." We responded, "Really? We said that and it didn't work?"
Actually, we had a very, very good time. Now, our "camper" is a term we use loosely. It is a 1976 hard-side, pop-up. It is huge, old, cumbersome and was practically free. It really suits us, though. We made the trip as easy as possible. I cooked up some food ahead of time and we pretty much had snacks and drinks, and that was it.
For those of you who know me... I brought a fan, okay two, and a pretty string of lights to hang outside the camper, and a huge bouquet of wildflowers that a friend had given me for my birthday. If we were going to camp, it was going to be easy-- and charming. Later on, we realized that in the State Park we were at, you are not allowed to pick wild flowers. So then I felt a little nervous that I had adorned our picnic table with a huge batch of wild flowers that I'm sure everyone thought I had gathered "in-park".
So, now that we have one camping trip under our belt, I've decided I want a motor home that is all packed and ready to go. That would make me even more-- a happy camper!
