When you have a perfectly comfortable house, why work so hard and pay so much to have bugs in your teeth and sleep on the ground? I think it just might be the smores and the scent of woodsmoke and the stars at night.
There's just something about camping that relaxes the body and the mind. Bugs, hard ground, etc. .... no matter what, it's still a great way to spend a few days.
Because you're touching base with nature and there is something deep in your soul that needs that, I think! Besides the air smells so nice and the food tastes so great outdoors!
oh, this is wonderful, Dixie! exploring your new camera while out enjoying a wonderful time with your family, who could ask for a better time? so enjoy camping - and your narrative. fav!
