It's the reason I'm almost always in a hat and sunglasses. <br /><br />But the children? After a night in the tent, they look even more beautiful with their pink cheeks and bright eyes. And absolutely no body aches. <br /><br />It's good to be young...The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-71549874917397479822010-03-31T10:15:40.889-05:002010-03-31T10:15:40.889-05:00I'm a teacher, and whenever I see kids at scho...I'm a teacher, and whenever I see kids at school drop trash on the ground I think "they haven't been camping" where the motto is leave the campground cleaner than you find it. Some of our happiest memories of when our son was little was when we were camping - especially group camps with lots of friends. We always marveled that the children emerged from the tents each morning looking perfect, while the adults crawled out looking . . . well, like 40 miles of bad road!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956702385571303197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-59068308460453442442010-03-30T22:43:33.084-05:002010-03-30T22:43:33.084-05:00Curveballs.

That way, moving would be easy.

I too was contemplating a move to Virginia this time last year for my husband's job. Luckily that didn't work out because they had one of the worst winters in history. Just think about it! Winter!<br />Stay in San Diego. I can understand wanting to be closer to family, but you just can't beat the perfect weather! <br />Currently it is raining on the East Coast, the rivers are at near flood stage after just having come down last week. The extreme weather this year had been dreadful. Just when I was telling people that in all my time spent on the East Coast, I've gotten to experience all that weather has to offer. And now we're dealing with the extremes!<br />It's terrible. Or perhaps we should just switch houses, I'll move to out to Cali and you can come to the Northeast! Then we could always switch back!Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-11912549991604892662010-03-30T20:03:21.286-05:002010-03-30T20:03:21.286-05:00Oh I think I need to bite the bullet and go campin...Oh I think I need to bite the bullet and go camping with the boys. I know that they would LOVE it... and I may just discover that I love it because they do. I did not grow up camping and never grew to love it as a single person.... <br /><br />Henry sitting in the camping sink was DARLING!Bird's Eye View Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813489889625737678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-18128962333000732002010-03-30T18:18:34.906-05:002010-03-30T18:18:34.906-05:00What a heavenly sounding weekend.

You embrace what comes at you with open arms. :) You'll learn to love anywhere you go.<br /><br />Sleeping in a tent for ever...now...that does get old. I've done it for a year (not straight, I did go home on the weekends) but by the end of the year, I was SO TOTALLY READY to live in a place with walls. And no critters in my bed. Running water, clean feet. Nice. But at the time the tent was fun too.<br /><br />Like I said, embrace what you've got and love it!Safirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885594531853595282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-14539631221584957162010-03-30T14:18:17.655-05:002010-03-30T14:18:17.655-05:00Henry pictures adorable, moving to Virginia NO ABS...Henry pictures adorable, moving to Virginia NO ABSOLUTELY NOT.winecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033530470009978632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-87754352940826851632010-03-30T14:00:10.271-05:002010-03-30T14:00:10.271-05:00San Diego is beautiful, no secret.

You will all look forward to it as a wind-down thing and as an adventure thing, and when you come back you'll feel ready to tackle the world. And you'll turn those kids of your into avid outdoors(wo)men for sure!
