This year's travels proved more challenging because of Miss E. It was nice to be back home where we have multiple pieces of plastic that occupy her for a good 15 minutes at a time. Even better, she was back in her own room! I don't know how people sleep with their children. Let me rephrase, I don't know how people sleep with their babies. I never, never ever, wake up to a childless bed. But older kids are much easier than babies. They are quieter too. In a nutshell, we were all happy to be back.
What do you think was at the top of our vacationed-out, road-weary, and over traveled list? Why camping of course. Five days post vacation we packed it up again. There is much more to pack when camping! It was unreal. We stuffed it all in the car and headed to the Poconos. Why we decided we needed to check the camping box now, I don't know. A year or two ago would have been much easier. That's not how we roll. We like to keep it interesting. Camping with a four month old is definitely interesting.
In all honesty, we had fun. The girls were thrilled to cook outdoors and sleep in a tent. Evelyn wasn't horrible and our campsite was fantastic. We went swimming, climbed our way through a boulder field and spent hours playing in the wide open space. It was all good for one night. I have no desire to repeat it until Evelyn is walking and sleeping soundly through the night. I am pretty sure we are more of a Marriot family anyway.
