Well, as the rain started falling last night, and is still falling this morning, we are confident in our decision. As much fun as driving on the mountain roads in the rain would be, and as much fun as it would be to set up a tent and all our gear on the wet ground, in the rain, and as much fun as it would be to keep a toddler entertained in the rain, while sitting in our wet tent, on the wet ground, in the rain…only to have it turn to snow when the temps dip near 40 (degrees Fahrenheit)…we decided to bail on our camping trip!
I know! It was such a hard decision!
*cough*
We NEED the rain, so I’m not complaining.
We NEED the cooler temps, so I’m not complaining.
I mean, I complained before and look where it got me?
So, last night, in an attempt to make us feel better about missing out on our fabulous camping trip that was not to be, we got some new song-packs on Rock Band. There is just something about Margaritaville and Wonderwall that makes all your troubles go away…
We’ve decided to adopt our Travel Zen Mentality and tweak it for our Close to Home and Out of the Rain and Snow Weekend.
Fresh mountain air or not, we will have a great time.


I’m sorry you have to miss your trip, but Rock On!
Rock. On. Momma.
Camping seems like a bad idea to me at the best of times. There are so many fabulous hotels out there We no longer need to sleep outdoors. Sorry your plans got rained out. Have a nice weekend anyway!
It’s too bad those hotels don’t let you use your camp-stove, and they frown upon you sleeping out on their balconies!
Sounds like a wise decision to me. I can handle periods of rain while camping, but a weekend of rain while camping sounds like a recipe for misery.
