7 Teens/tweens, 2 Adults, 1 Island, No Ferries…our first camping experience!

August 14, 2024August 14, 2024momonthegoinholytoledo

I never understood it, shoot, if I’m being honest, I thought they were all crazy. What kind of a person volunteers to leave their climate-controlled home with a private bathroom, a fully stocked fridge, freezer, wifi, and all the modern-day accommodations they work so hard to provide their family and go live in the great outdoors for a week? To me that sounded like pure nonsense, borderline insanity. Vacations should require less work, not more. Why pack towels, air mattresses, sheets, pots, pans, coolers, etc.? Why not save yourself time, energy, and bug bites and just stay home? After an impromptu extended stay on an island with 7 tweens/teens, one brutal storm, dirty underwear, greasy hair, and legs you could play connect-the-bug bites on I think I finally get it. I drank the Kool-Aid. What’s even more shocking, is I miss it, there, I said it. But I’m getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning.

1800 miles put on the rental car, 4 National Parks, 3 states, the hottest week on record (122 degrees F), 2 best friends, and 1 engagement ring later! But I am getting ahead of myself, let me start at the beginning. The very beginning, and for us moms, and parents, it’s that moment you allow yourself permission to practice self-care, relinquish any parental guilt, and don’t let any shame permeate reminding yourself that other people’s options are their business. I know, it’s easier said than done, but only once you achieve this can you enjoy yourself, otherwise someone else will be renting space in your head during your entire adventure!
