Now THAT’S RVing!
Aug 27 2010
We’re Facebook fans of GO RVing (along with MOAA of course – become a fan of MOAA, and they’re on Twitter as well, with useful info). GO RVing sent this article link: “RV Camping Was Made for Kids.”
My first thought was: Where has the author been? Of course the RV is a great way to travel with kids! (MSNBC should have gotten a hold of us.)
My second thought reminded me that I forgot to mention our camping trip with the Paganellis in our last post. During our RV trip (before we settled), we met the Pags in Carlsbad, NM to camp and see the cave. They were in their tent and we in the RV. Around midnight, a beautiful day had turned into a blowing storm with winds knocking their tent almost parallel to the ground. We had them come into the RV, and we woke to snow – and a full house: 4 adults, 6 kids, and 1 German Shepherd: all in a 41-ft RV that barely slept 8. Now that’s RVing with kids!

(Compare this experience to when our families tent camped at a campground in France – there the excitement was when we were kicked out of a public pool for wearing swim trunks instead of Speedo type swimsuits.)
I do miss those RV days.
