Just getting started

Hello. I already have a blog, but this one is more about a specific topic: camping with a family. My husband gave me this idea because I love this sort of thing. I don't think he realized that I already had a camping log. I'm not really great at keeping up with the log, so maybe this blog will stay more up to date since I'm always on the computer!

I have been camping with my family (Dad, Mom, Sister) since I was three in 1975. If I ever get those pictures, I'll be sure to post them. We started out camping in the back of my dad's pickup truck. He already had an aluminum topper on his truck so he made a bed for my sister and I that rested on the top of the truck bed. It was only 1/2 of the bed. My parents put a full sized mattress on the floor of the truck bed and we camped. No AC, no heat, no bathroom...we MIGHT HAVE had a fan, but I'm not sure. That was the beginning of many great family camping trips, although not all of them were in that style!

My family and I (Husband and two children, boy and girl, elementary age) currently camp in a hybrid camper. It looks like a travel trailer, but two queen-sized bed fold out from the front and back, almost like a pop-up camper to create more sleeping room. At full capacity, we can sleep 10, if the couch and dinette table each sleep two. The most we've slept in this camper is six, two adults and four children. I will post a picture of the outside later.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful!
