A New Season

This weekend is our first camping excursion. YAAAAAAH! It's a lot of work to get ready for that first outing, and a bit stressful having to do everything beforehand, and remember everything. After all, we're 30 minutes from civilization, but not really. The camp area is loaded with RVs that put my domicile living conditions to shame. Some would charge me with child abuse if they saw the house I made my daughter live in. She doesn't have her own bathroom, for God's sake! But the nice thing about camping, even the posh version, is I'm getting away from work, TV, work, Facebook, work, unfortunately not the dog, my ghetto neighbors, and work, for a weekend. Our camper is far from the latest and greatest. It's a place to sleep and store our camping stuff. But it's ours. Once we set everything up, we pretty much resemble a band of gypsies. I'm sure the $50K motor home next to us feels a bit threatened. That's what you get for not renting the spaces on either side of you! Someday we'll upgrade, but for now, we're going to use this camper until its dying breath. So get ready America, here come the camping version of the Clampetts, to bring lower middle class to your weekend neighborhood! Don't forget to lock the doors and keep the chihuahua inside :)
