Also when your daughter wants to take friends camping for her sweet 16 birthday, you realize that maybe something sank in along the way.
Thats awesome! While I don't think I would want to go camping with a horde of 16 year old girls, I would love it if my daughter still enjoyed camping at that age!
We are planning a cross country trip in about 10 years, daughter will be 14, son will be 12. I was 12 when my family did a cross country trip. There were fun aspects and there were tedious aspects. I hope to capitalize on the fun and limit the tedium for my kids. I am hopeful that they both enjoy the trip and continue to want to spend camping time with my bride and me at those tougher ages!
