We have an RV. My idea of camping: same great view, plus indoor plumbing (& a queen size bed).

@Holly
Sneak out of the house quickly and quietly, stay with a friend for a few days and remove yourself from situation… while letting everyone else go on their little forest outing.

I always liked Thanksgiving camp (in Florida), but nowadays we spend the nights in a motel. I’m afraid I’d say to Holly, ok, dear, you can stay here with Grandma. If you change your mind before we leave, let me know!

Holly could stay next door and look after the baby and the blond whirlwind while every one else goes camping. Or she could go camping and not grouse.

I don’t like the idea of every creepy-crawlie in the wilds crawling into my bedroll. My husband used to like it though! He recalled listening to the spiders fall out of the trees, pop onto the tent top, and skitter down the sides! No thanks! I hate those things!! Plus mosquitoes love my blood type, but I have an allergic reaction to their bite!
