When my husband and I were kids we loved nothing more than camping with our families. Some of our best childhood memories are of camping in the woods or by the ocean. In those days, we were in canvas tents or sleeping in the back of Dad's car! As we got older and had kids of our own it was a no-brainer to take the kids camping, but at our age, tents were not going to do it anymore, so we purchased our new camper and on our first camping trip to the ocean we raised a glass to our respective parents (who would have been blown away by our new camper!) and thanked them for taking us camping when we were kids. Jack, our now 13-year-old can't wait for the Spring, Summer, and Fall, it's the only time he doesn't ask "Are we there yet"? If you're looking for a REAL family vacation, away from all the distractions and with lasting memories - Camping is the way to go!
