Loved and could relate to your stories. We bought a used fifth wheel style camper when the kids were still pretty young and though I felt it was like outfitting a new home (and it kinda is) I didn’t want to dragging stuff from the house as much as possible. We dragged that camper to the Smokey mountains(great place to vacation) and up to Maine. Fell in love with Maine. We also took it down to the outer banks in NC, another favorite destination, and to the eastern shore in our home state. We wanted a less labor intensive Disney World trip so we splurged on a Disney theme hotel and flew down and back. Although I didn’t see Hawaii with my husband I did go in a previous relationship and yeah, it’s magical. I’d like to go back but it’s not at the top of our list. We hope to get to Alaska, preferably in winter because it’s crowded with tourists in summer. I’d also love to see the Grand Canyon from the ground and not flying over. My sister moved her family to Ca. so we’ve been out there a few times hence the fly over.
The Disney trip was a blast and cost less than expected. We also went during October and took the kids out of school for a week. That would not have been possible if they were in middle or high school but they were still in elementary. I lived in Florida for about 18 months after graduating high school and it’s too crazy hot in summer not to mention the lines are insane at Disney.
That old camper was the old fashioned kind with no pop outs so it gets claustrophobic. We took the kids tent camping up to the Adirondacks and even though it rained the first two days we still managed to hike up three different mountains. It’s another spectacular place to take kids. Our kids are grown now with the oldest about to celebrate his first wedding anniversary. Time just flies so fast that it’s hard to remember some of those long ago early days. Meanwhile the whole worlds caught on fire and I worry for the little ones. My sisters have grandkids and I wonder what kind of world they’ll inherit.
I will follow your substack and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about education esp in that you identified yourself as a Christian.
Fort Wilderness Campground paints a picture of a serene and enchanting haven. The idea of having your own space amidst the beauty of nature while enjoying the amenities and unique atmosphere of the campground is what I would love to experience for myself. It seems like a place where I can truly unwind and savour the ambiance.
I mean, you're definitely still at Disney 😂 But it is a bit slower than the other resorts, and we love having our travel trailer there as our home-away-from-home.

I hope you'll check out my latest post about my upcoming Kickstarter campaign. It's for my camping memoir 😊
