Why should I? Well:
- My partner and closest friends love camping
- I love nature and spending time in tranquil surroundings
- It's a get-away option within my budget
- I love adventure and going off the beaten track
- I love campfires and gazing up at the stars away from the glare of city lights
So why am I telling you this? I want to love camping. I really have only been on school camps and I think this has clouded my judgement. They were stressful and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Camping for me means endless hours of hiking up hills for no reason, terrible food, sleepless nights with rocks sticking into my spine, various annoying activities paired with people I didn't get along with, very little free time and no showers or toilets.
I know that REAL camping must be so much better than this! I bet REAL camping allows you to dawdle along at your own pace, to stop and smell the flowers or take a dip in that sparkling creek. I have a hunch that REAL camping would let me read a book in peace under a large tree with dappled sunlight dancing over the pages. I suspect REAL camping would give me quality time with those I love.
I should like camping. So next time I'm in your neck of the woods and you're planning on a REAL camping trip....please ask me along! I'd love to go camping!
Kendall, you can come camping with us... we almost always go at Easter time, there are some pics on Facebook to whet your appetite ;)

Oh my goodness! We could go camping with Matou!!! LOL :D I think it would be a bit "Ahhhhh" for Teddy....
ReplyDeleteEndless hours of hiking, terrible food, uncomfortable sleeping conditions and ESPECIALLY the lack of hot water are all of the reasons why will never go camping. (School trips ruined it for me, too!)
