Occasionally in life, we have to give up some things in order to get to where we honestly want to go.
That was the case with a recent camping excursion.
I have regularly wanted to take the kids back to where I was raised so they could see fall leaves. It’s simply a spectacular time of year plus it takes our breath away when you hit it at its peak; However, our kids just were not interested plus leaving the a/c of home for a camping trip. This was a good disappointment for me plus even for our partner. When I was a kid, I enjoyed going camping. Dad would grab me up from school where we go hike into the mountains for a long weekend of camping. It was just me plus him as mom plus our sister we’re at home enjoying the indoor a/c. Dad knew a lot about camping plus that region plus passed all that on to me. There’s not a whole lot better memories plus being out of the air-conditioning plus out in the woods with our dad. And this is what I wanted a little bit for our kids. When I asked if they wanted to take a getaway up to see the leaves, I got the proper response. So I bargained a bit. Instead of roughing it, we made the choice to go car camping in a campsite with electricity, powder rooms plus the works. I even agreed to bring along space heating systems as the kids were upset there would be not enough Heating plus Air Conditioning heating. It turned out to be a good time anyway plus the leaves were simply spectacular.
