Our home away from home

This is our tent trailer. This will be our home away from home when we tour the countryside. Prince Charming has been combing the internet for over a year for the perfect tent trailer for our family. He had been diligently saving his pennies and doing research and dreaming about all of the camping adventures in store for us when last month he found it. Not long after he found it did it end up in our driveway.

Not being able to wait until the beginning of April for the first camping trip, he planned a backyard camp out for himself and the boys. They did everything they would do on a camping trip, but in the backyard! We had dinner together. We dined on cowboy steaks, baked beans, and a salad – all prepared in the comfort of the trailer. Don’t forget the s’mores. Of course there were s’mores! They spent the night outside while I slept inside with the baby cakes. In the morning he made the boys a breakfast of scrambled eggs and fruit. They had a good time breaking it in.

While it was a great adventure for the boys, we were also able to make a list of things we would need for our first trip coming up at the beginning of April. You would be surprised at the things you take for granted.
