Tons of good stuff here!!!
One of my more memorable moments was camping as a child with my parents on a road trip through the Smokey Mountains. We were camping in an old, canvas, conestoga-looking tent. We were hit by a torrential downpour that quickly turned into flash flooding. Soon, water was flooding into the tent (we were even on an elevated tent box!), and I was splashing around inside the tent like it was the coolest thing ever!
We ended up packing everything up in the van and driving to a roach-ridden motel at 1 or 2 in the morning. We slept in our sleeping bags on top of the beds there. And I remember water splashing on my feet when I was using the bathroom sink. After closer inspection, it was due to the fact that the bathroom sink drained into a 5 gallon bucket!!
It was the best family vacation I can remember, and I will always think back fondly to that day and the adversity we faced as a family.
And I'm heading to the FB page now, but I can't comment or "like" it because I'm not on FB. I will certainly check it out, though.
Thanks to all for sharing their stories, and thanks to Thom for the giveaway!!!!
