Camping

My parents left Golden on March 4 on a road trip. They took their little orange T@B trailer and headed to California by way of New Mexico, Arizona and the lower end of Nevada. It's the cutest little thing you ever saw, but really rather small.

I have been talking to them about once/week, making sure they are okay and still having fun. They are. I'm not sure I could spend 4+ weeks in the little trailer, cute as it is, without going to a hotel once/week. But they have remained with the trailer, getting out and about every day and spending time with friends, at the beach, etc.

I grew up with a tent trailer and going into the mountains during the summer. I have fond memories of cooking hotdogs over a campfire, sleeping in the beds, seeing stars filled with endless stars. I would like to have this with our children, but W is not the outdoorsy, camping type. I hope to convince him otherwise. Perhaps it is because the bugs and humidity here make doing anything outdoors in the summer unappealing.
