Back from camping
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
We’re back from a weekend camping trip. It was a lot of fun, even though we got rained on for a whole night and part of a day. Trying to keep a 2-year-old contained in a tent while waiting for a storm to pass was challenging, but somewhat manageable. I have made a mental note to bring more books/toys in the event of rain (we try to keep it simple, but in this case having more than a dump truck and 2 books would have made life better)!
In general, I love camping because it is so simple, and there is a lot of time for reflection. One of the things I spent a lot of time thinking about is that we’ve actually done a good job over the past couple of years making life less complicated. Now when we’re camping, it’s nice to get away from the computer and phone for awhile, and cooking over an open fire, and sleeping on the ground. Other than that, camping is really not as different from home as it used to be. My husband and I get to spend more quality time together now, and we’ve prioritized things so that we both spend a lot of time with the kid.
Camping this weekend did strengthen my resolve to working harder to become debt free. I would love to have freedom to camp and travel more often, but with my husbands limited vacation time, that’s not possible. We’ll see what happens…
What about you? Do you like camping? Why or why not?

We LOVE camping. We don’t have any children yet, but camping is a cheap way to get away without having to find somewhere for the dog to stay. He loves to come with us, and he gets to spend all that time outside. It’s win-win.
