Last weekend, we ventured out on our first ever family camping trip. We had a new (cheap) tent, and far too much other stuff. It was pouring all day Saturday, but we got on the ferry anyway, stubbornly sticking to our belief that the campsite was in the rainshadow and would be dry. It wasn’t. It was pouring. And our reserved site was beside – and open onto – a fast moving river. We sat in the car, with Ben sound asleep, and thought about coming home.

But we didn’t. We changed our site, we pitched our tent in the drizzle, and we cooked and ate in the rain. It was fun! (Said in a mock moral-boosting voice.) But honestly, it *was* kinda fun. And we all slept well and woke up to glorious sunshine, so we were able to have breakfast outside, let the little guy take some walks, and have our stuff mostly dried out before we packed up.

In fact, it was a fun enough experience that we plan to do it again, and some day we’ll even invest in a better tent that doesn’t drip from the canopy directly in the door. 🙂
