Glamping

“On first thought, Mr. RC was absolutely right about the whole experience. Glamping is a world apart from the rustic nature of pitching and sleeping in a tent. You still get the fun sleeping-in-a-tent part, but without having to sacrifice sleeping in a bed. There's no twisting and turning yourself as you try to finagle your clothes on while also avoiding the sides of a dew-soaked tent. There's space to actually hang out. There's a real wood floor, as opposed to the hard ground, and, uh, did you catch the part where I mentioned the bed??!”

“My son had just brought us coffee in bed. He’d gotten up on his own, sneaked out of the tent, walked 300 yards in the frigid darkness to the Under Canvas communal tent, and filled our mugs with hot coffee. And he’d remembered the cream! Here was one of my proudest moments as a parent. Here was the moment I fell in love with glamping.”

“One of the things I was most concerned about with glamping was the bathroom situation. Like, am I showering with a hose? What happens when it's 3am and I wake up having to go to the bathroom? My mind immediately went to a vision of my headstone reading "Here lies Alyssa who died by a midnight bear attack in the woods on her way to the restroom". #dramaqueen The Mr. guaranteed me that I could wake him up any time I needed an escort to the restroom and you better believe I took him up on that. Still, that part of the glamping experience wasn't all that fun for me.”
