Good times.
But the body grows old and starts to protest about sleeping on the ground, and thus the RV.
Did you know that a tent attracts rain? Ours did everytime we used it.
LOL, isn't that the truth! I remember one weekend in particular. We had erected a very large tarp over the tent to keep the dew off. Well, a storm came in and just sat over North Georgia for several days. The first day was okay because everything under the tarp was dry. But by the next day things were getting damp and at some point the tarp got heavy with rain and dumped about 9 gallons right on the back of the tent. We had 5 kids in a small wet tent and it was 50 degrees outside. When my son said, "Mom, do you realize it's been raining for 72 hours straight?" I about lost my mind!
Thankfully, DH had the presence of mind to put our damp sleeping bags in a few big dryers and took us out for pizza, thus saving the day.
