It’s a Lot of Work to go on Vacation

June 19, 2008

Well, last week was our annual trip to camp.  It’s always a chore getting ready for camp.    You have to spend an ample amount of time and energy making sure the garbage is out, laundry is clean, bills are paid, etc. etc.  And then, you have to do some of my least favorite work, which is packing.  This year, it was a bit easier because we had some new gear to work with.  I’m a new big fan of Mcklein and their luggage.  We also made sure to have backpack camera bags this year, which were extremely helpful.  Making sure you have everything packed is another issue.  Toiletries, clothes, sunscreen, and other protective gear, chap stick, sunglasses, towels and of course, Gold Bond.  It was a pretty crazy year, and it was amplified because of a legal issue on a bill that is not ours.  It made the camp trip a bit more stressful.  We’re still trying to resolve it.  All and all though, the trip was great, and when we came back – an angel had cleaned our house and bought us some fresh groceries!  Amazing!
