Tomorrow we are leaving to go on a weekend camping trip. I don't mind camping; it is just the packing that I despise! And now that there are four of us, it is even worse. :( There is just so much to take for 3 days. And the baby, why does he take so much??
Today Megan said, "Mom, I would rather go on long camping trips than these short ones." AMEN!!! A few years ago, Matt and I set a minimum amount of three nights for a camping trip. Otherwise it was not worth the work. We tend to stick to this rule.
I am very jealous of those people that live in the country and can just leave their camper loaded. Not us! We have to unpack everything out of it every. single. time and clean it completely out. We store it in a local storage place, so we want everything out of it. We don't want to take any chances of anything getting stolen (which has happened once already.)
Over the winter, we stored our camper in a storage shed and put mouse poison everywhere. We had mice and rats in it a few years ago and just paid over $300 to finally get the ventilation fixed that they ate through. :( We were really hoping they would have stayed out of the camper this last winter, but as I was going through some drawers tonight, I found mouse poop in a few places. Ugh! They were in drawers with towels in them, so now I need to rewash everything before tomorrow.
We do have a big camping trip scheduled for July. We don't have many details yet, but we are working on them! Matt took six weeks off of work, so we are going to do some travelling. Like Matt says, we have a new truck, nice camper, and plenty of time, so why not??
