This picture was taken in 2005 at Zion National Park. It was my first experience "camping", except I'm not sure that it really counts because we slept in the back of a Saturn Vue! We had taken a couple of weeks to drive from Michigan to California, and we visited TEN National Parks on the way! It was really fun.
But this weekend, (for my 29th birthday!) we'll be camping for reals with a TENT and everything! We hope to drive up to Oklahoma for the occasion. I'm a little nervous, but I think it will be fun!
What about you? Are you a camping family?
I love camping. What part of Oklahoma are you thinking of going to?

we cheat & take our travel trailer when we go camping.
ReplyDeletemy husband want's to go to Zion so bad.
Fun! I love the outdoors, just not the tent part so much (I don't like the lack of a potty)...grew up going to the lake and staying in a cabin...that's more my speed!
ReplyDeleteOh have fun! I absolutely LOVE camping. We haven't been yet this year, but hopefully in the next few weeks!

ReplyDeleteahhh SO SO fun :)
ReplyDeleteOh my,camping for me is a hotel with no pool. I still want to try it though..."real camping" is on my bucket list. Hopefully your pics will motivate me! That would make the hubs happy for sure.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely birthday!!
Oh I just love camping so much and we don't camp once in two months or so I start feeling itchy!!
ReplyDeleteHave the greatest time! It's the best idea for a birthday celebration!!!
Happy birthday dear Sarah!! xxxoxo
ooo. 10 parks?! awesome. have fun for real camping :) i love it. & happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI am so not a camper, but I love hearing about others' camping trips! Where are you going in OK? I used to live in Tulsa!
ReplyDeleteI love real camping! My family camped all over Texas and Oklahoma, so if you need any future suggestions - let me know!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
i love camping! hubby & i disagree on the definition of real. camping for me is driving someplace with a cooler & sleeping bags & then sleeping in a tent. for him it's hiking with everything in a backpack, eating food that keeps forever & sleeping in a tent. one day i'll get there :)
ReplyDeleteThe first time I went camping was with an old boyfriend. His car had broken down the day before so we took a truck from the family business. A giant corrugated bottom box truck. We we got to the site we realized his brother had taken out the tent poles! Did I mention it was raining on the empty metal truck...ping,pingping all weekend? It was the camping trip from HELL.Never sleep on corrugated metal if you can help it....
ReplyDeleteHi just popping over from the pleated poppy because I read you used to be in Orange County. I like to think we're a camping family and hopefully we will be a total camp family soon!
