We quickly moved on to a pop-up trailer. Finally, we wised up and booked a hotel room. I like the outdoors for short nature walks, but I don’t want to share the habitat with whatever is lurking out there while I’m trying to sleep. I also can relate to your experience about the sudden drop in temperature.

The last time I camped was in 1999. Went with my son’s boy scout troop on 5 mile out hike at 7,000 ft in Tahoe Nat’l Forest. It was 93 deg during the day and dropped to about 29 deg at night. I got what was probably hypothermia during the night. I could not get warm in spite of sweats, a jacket, and a super-warm sleeping bag.

To me, it’s just not worth all the getting ready, etc. Plus, it costs as much or more than a hotel room.

Guess I’m just not the outdoors type. :)

I’ll bet everyone was happy with the upgrade. Sad, though, when our favorite haunts close.

I planned a weekend trip with hubby and 2 then little ones to a campground I loved going to with my Dad when I was a kid. This was about 18 years later though and I didn’t bother checking to see if the place was still there. It wasn’t. Stayed in a hotel the 1st night. Oops.

My daughter, Danielle, roasts marshmallows outside on a grill. Then, she retreats back into the house for a “camp in” with her hubby and kids.

Now that was lame, but I’ll admit it was a lot of fun. Less is more. Thanks for writing, Jenn.

Never heard of “glamping” before. What is that?
