Weekend Get Away -Camping with our Jeep

When you are camping, you have only a few things to worry about, like the food you're about to eat and whether you have enough sunscreen or the right number of layers - depending on the season.

That's it. If you're doing it properly, cell phone coverage isn't an issue, nor are tax returns, registering your kid for kindergarten, fixing the dog scratches on the cabinet or worst of all -cleaning. No worrying about schedules, appointments, meetings, sporting events, and TV. No haircuts, manicures, visitors and redudant tasks.

Camping means driving to a remote piece of nature, having some of what I need and eating out of zip-lock bags for a few days while swatting mosquitoes. I want to share this beauty with my kids. They will treasure these memories forever, as I did-my father took us camping all of the time and in Girl Scouts, of course we went camping then. Of course learning from past camping experiences will allowfor improvement.

First, we would need to see more - I always camped in the same kinds of places on the weekends when everyone with a tent was out also. Second, combine it with an active activity vs. ' just camping'. Third, go big and teach my children to think big and prosperous vacations versus weekend-cramming, penny pinching jaunts to a campground.

Now, comparing life in my thirties to life in my twenties, the obligations are much, MUCH greater now. I must pay attention to my finer things in life. My house, though I like it and appreciate it, is an ever-present reminder of things that I need to do, fix, buy, sell, donate, or worst of all, clean. So, I find myself with the desire to escape to the woods and call it camping. With two young sons, I also think about the experience they'll have and what they will remember and I am constantly thinking the thoughts of how life can improve for my kids. I think of family relationships, money, self-confidence, education - all the things that I want them to have a good perspective on - and whatever activity is at hand. In this case, camping.
