I have a trip coming up where we will be CAMPING!

Camping is something I have wanted to do with my family for a long time. We prefer mountains, but there are places closer by too! Never settle for only one type of destination. You never know what you might miss out on. And for us, that is some scenic wonders so close to home that we would think before it's not for us. But don't knock it till you try it!

There are some wonderful options out there if you Google 'Things to do near me' or 'Places to go camping near me', and all search results yield some great results until you change the search terms to get results you have not gotten earlier. In this way, you can tweak the results to filter out what you have already seen online or already visited in person.

The best trips are the best experiences. And I do not just enjoy the final destination. I also enjoy the drive. I enjoy the planning and loading up of our vehicle with all of our belongings because it is so convenient to have all the things I planned for and enjoy the experience of putting them to use. I love organized travel!
