Camping Trip with the Kids

I put my travel trailer to use for the weekend.  We went to the Tacoma KOA, to give Faith her first camping trip.  Not exactly roughing it with a heated pool and watching a movie in the camper, but we did cook out, enjoy some smores over the hot coals, and join the campgrounds pancake breakfast the next morning.  Cozy in an 18' travel trailer, but fun!   They are the best kids ever (in my unbiased opinion ;-)

I learned an important camping lesson while there.  Never ever leave the drain while pumping the sewage tank.   I went inside for a bit, when I came back out the attachment had come loose and there was all manner of unspeakable ick all over the drive.  And nice and smelly to boot.  Made for a very unpleasant cleanup.   A lesson I won't soon forget...

They will remember forever the great time they had with you. Safe to say, you must be cool Aunt Sue.
