The weather out the window has been alternating between snow, sleet, and rain all afternoon, so we are staying inside and dreaming of warmer destinations.

I did pack conditioner, if that counts! We’ve been camping for six years with mostly our travel trailer or sometimes with just a tent. I think we’ve got…
Part of the fun of traveling, is the planning! I love to start planning a vacation as soon as we decide where to go. Whether I’m reading a stack of travel books, magazines, or cruising some travel websites, I’m living our future vacation many times over before we even leave the house. But why should the kids be left out…
