Do Boomers Still Go Camping
Camping really??? My idea of camping is staying in a cabin at the very least. I love roasting hot dogs and marshmallows then heading indoors about the time the mosquitoes start biting.
We went camping when we were first married. It was all really fun until it got dark and we got in the tent. Then I just knew there were things moving around in the dark outside and I didn’t trust the tent material to protect us. I felt like bait. I jumped and said “what was that” every couple minutes. I was terrified. About 2 o’clock in the morning my husband gave up, packed up and we went home. I think we only went camping in a tent a couple of times after that.
We did have a camp trailer for a while too. Because let’s face it was the cheapest way to take a family vacation with kids. It was better in a camp trailer but still I didn’t sleep much. I can’t believe the things I did for my kids to have great experiences.
I also have to agree with my husband that being out in the beauty of nature it is really soul filling. The funny thing my kids like to go camping. But for me I can’t do the tent camping.
What funny experiences have you had?
Weird and Unique I’m There
Some of the weird and wonderful festivals I have been to are the Date Festival in Indio California. They even had camel and ostrich races. But the weirdest one yet is the Testicle Festival in Woodruff Utah. I also here they have one in Montana. We’re talking eating rocky mountain oysters and listening to western poetry.
