It feels like today should still be the weekend. We've been too busy! We seem to go activity crazy for a few weeks every summer. For this homebody; it's tiring!
Do you enjoy camping?
I can't say that I do if it's tent camping. I love sitting around a fire pit; but I don't like sleeping in tents or sleeping bags. I like "modern bathroom facilities" and air conditioning. DH grew up camping a lot more than I did and he enjoys it. He likes backpacking too.
My family had a camp in the mountains; but it was a solid structure. We did have to use an outhouse there though. It had running water but the spetic wasn't easily maintained so no indoor showering. We could get some TV by antenna when the Olympics were on. We could do some cooking indoors or out. We brought water in but collected some in rain barrels too. We had beds to sleep on. Then we could go down to the lake and enjoy the little beach or take a boat out on the water. Or go farther up the mountain for some hiking. In town there was a water park, playground, shops and a few restaurants. There was always fun things to do in the woods immediately around our camp. Berries to pick too. We'd spot deer and raccoons. Bears were around but I never saw one myself. Others did. Air conditioning wasn't common even in town; but I don't remember being hot enough to be uncomfortable at night up in the mountains. Maybe all that playing in nature wore us kids out so we didn't notice.
That is my kind of camping.
