lol, we are just the opposite with camping style. When our kids were young, we stayed at full service camping resorts. Now that our kids are in college and mostly no longer camp with us, we stay at no hookup rustic state parks and explore the area by bike, hike, or driving. OR we just sit at the camper and relax.
Our kids have Definitely seen a LOT more of the USA (New England in particular) than any of their friends. Most of their friends, when they go on "vacation", go somewhere like a beach resort and stay there or a ski resort and never leave the mountain. I am amazed at how many people have never taken their kids to historic sites... we are only a couple hours from Plymouth Village, yet no one I know has taken their families there.
In some ways it does seem like "bragging" when we talk about our camping trips, except that I wonder what the other families are doing?
