Easy Foldup Camping Table #CampingTable
We camp seasonally in Maine and have for 9 years now – seems like forever. RV camping is so much fun – if you haven’t tried it, you should. You don’t need to buy an RV, you can rent one and drive it there or most campgrounds actually have RVs on site that you can rent. That is how we started – renting an RV on site and we were hooked. But camping life is very different than life at home. At home we tend to spend most of our time in the house or at the barn with our horses. At the campground – we pretty much only sleep…

The Camping Season Finally Comes To An End – Our Parting Images
The Camping Season Finally Comes To An End – Our Parting Images We camp seasonally in Maine and for six months a year we truly live two separate lives. We live our disciplined lives at home, work and school where there never seems to be enough time for anything and we don’t really have time for friendships and relationships because of work, school, doctors appointments, counseling appointments, piano, school functions, night time meetings and more. There never seems to be any time to breathe. Then on Fridays we take on the personas of our alter egos and head to someplace more peaceful, less stressful, fun, full of nature’s beauty and…
