Camping in a week of rain makes you appreciate camping in nicer weather, that's all!<br /><br />Okay, I admit, camping much less anything at 8.5 months pregnant is asking for trouble. But what are friends for if not for making memories?! Great story, D'Ann<br /><br />My dream is to have a motorhome. With WIFI, and gas money for it.<br />I don&#Debra E.

WOW! At 8 1/2 months preggo, I thought I was hot stuff just waddling to the grocery store.<br /><br />I used to have a marvelous time camping with my best friend's family when I was a teenager. They'd take me along to the desert and the beach and my friend and I would hike and read, hike and read.

I've camped in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and in the Yukon Territory. <br /><br />We started off with a tent. When Crystal came along, we switched to a cube pop-up trailer which slept 3.5 people. :D<br /><br />On one vacation to the Rockies, it rained for a solid week. We couldn't dry out.

Like you we got rained out. But I was so relieved!! It was hot. And humid. (Can you hear the whine in my voice?) Oh, and I saw a snake while trying to enter the one stupid restroom for miles around. Couldn't use that one. It was not pretty. <br /><br />I have definitely decided that I am more of a resort kind of gal.
