When Steve and I first got together, we camped ALL THE TIME. We loved the inexpensive of pitching the tent and hitting the lake for the weekend. Campfires, coolers, outdoor temperatures, fishing, swimming...you name it. It was also a great way for our little one to burn off energy without worrying about her being noisy in a hotel. We didn't have to go far from home to have a good time.
As life got busier, and we got older, those trips slowed down. The appeal of sleeping on the ground and not having access to running water a few feet away became fewer and further between.
We still love camping or at least the idea of camping. Summer of 2021, we had several trips planned but were only able to make one of them work. It was a great time. It was time well spent with family and not being connected to the internet or screens. Tiny Tot loved the outdoors. We grilled, we played on the playground, we fished, we slept in a teepee.
The summer of 2022 will come with great intentions of camping more. We'll hope that our schedules allow it and that the universe comes together so that we can get out more. If not, we'll enjoy the time that we have hanging out on the dock fishing.
