I'm starting to think it was in my blood but I didn't realize it. camped once as a baby, my parents spent a week at the jersey shore in my grandparents trailer. mom hated it, every vacation from then on was a hotel. did the brownie/girl scout thing with weekend camping trips. stayed in the backyard of my grandmother's place a couple times in my uncle's trailer. then met hubby, after a year of dating we planned our first vacation, 2 weeks in a pop-up (no bathroom in it) to Maine and Vermont. I servived. Then at some point we spent a weekend in a hotel, he was miserable. I realized the only way he would be happy traveling, we would get to see everything I wanted to, was camping. 17 years, two upgrades, and 2 kids later. we are now camping in a fifth wheel with a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Our kids have never slept in a hotel, or flew in an airplane. Oh, and we also don't travel with a DVD player in the truck for the kids, when we are on the road they have crayons and paper, the older one has a leapad, they younger one has a learning computer sometimes, otherwise they watch the country passing or catch up on their sleep. If we are home for more then 3 weeks the kids start asking when the next camping trip is, winters are looong when we aren't camping for about three months straight. Hubby and I plan to camp "forever" time will tell what the kids decide to do, once they are old enough to decide.
