Hi Ho Hi Ho...a Campin' we will go

A few months ago, Jim and I decided, after much thought and evaluation, to buy a camper. We purchases our new luxury home at Martin's here in Mechanicsburg, PA. We felt good about our purchase from such a family friendly and owned business and would highly recommend them.

So, since then, we have been camping 3 times, 2 of which resulted in torrential downpours.
Our firs outing was with Jim's sister and her family to a campground about 25 minutes away from our home, Mountain Creek Campground in Gardners, PA.
Our second outing was to Kent, NY to camp within my Dad's campground for Memorial Day weekend.

Jim got to go out on the "Big Boat" with my dad and a few family friends to catch some fish. He managed to reel in a few nice keepers, and we have fish in our fridge to last us a few weeks.
Our third camping adventure was to Gettysburg Campground with the Shumberger Family this past weekend.
What a beautiful campground. We really enjoyed our time there.
It was Civil War encampment weekend, so we managed to take in a Civil War Dance and Candle Light Camp Walk. We had great food over the campfire and managed to relax a bit.
But the 2 night stays are over way too soon!
I would like to just park the camper for 1 full week and do just about nothing but read and play outside with my kiddo.
The nice thing about camping as a family vacation is that it is affordable, despite the cost of gas right now, although that seems to be going down a bit. AND, Audrey can play in a pool, at a playground, walk throughout the campground, and do some new things without much pre-planning and worry. So for the next few years, that will be the bulk of our family vacations.
Here are some pictures of our jouneys thus far, more to follow.
