Home Away From Home

When our children were young we did a fair amount of camping with a pop-up camper. We had some great vacations in western and southwestern states as well as Minnesota and Wisconsin.  I liked being outdoors, waking up to the sound of songbirds chirping or singing for my morning melody,  hearing the wind rustling the leaves on the trees,  and seeing wild animals in their natural surroundings, even the occasional skunk! I also liked the sudden rainfalls and other inconveniences.  I particularly reveled in the fact that our world and activities slowed down considerably. I learned only years later that I was the only one who really and truly enjoyed the experience! Given those sentiments, I doubt that I can now persuade DH to invest in one of these campers to visit camp grounds and national parks that we (. . . I ) hadn't visited in years past!!
