The family is sad but we know we can't keep it forever. We are upgrading to a travel trailer next year or sooner, but is going to give tent camping a try until then. Time to find some new camp grounds and buy some new gear. <br />I will post pics soon of our upcoming trips.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3209678035640554237-726173400475744007?l=1968popupcamping.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Rogers Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16500460193311596959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209678035640554237.post-3977970617187310832010-08-18T18:02:00.001-07:002010-08-18T18:12:05.042-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEzgu1qUI/AAAAAAAAALs/X26jbMRRHMU/s1600/058.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEzgu1qUI/AAAAAAAAALs/X26jbMRRHMU/s320/058.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506922464861858114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEs7ywl6I/AAAAAAAAALk/XumzwdfEQo4/s1600/035.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEs7ywl6I/AAAAAAAAALk/XumzwdfEQo4/s320/035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506922351866976162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEj_aImhI/AAAAAAAAALc/XkDbIcd9Qwg/s1600/056.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEj_aImhI/AAAAAAAAALc/XkDbIcd9Qwg/s320/056.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506922198218611218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEblhcYuI/AAAAAAAAALU/ehrsc5Wwl-E/s1600/027.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TGyEblhcYuI/AAAAAAAAALU/ehrsc5Wwl-E/s320/027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506922053830992610" /></a><br />I so love camping and mostly at the beach, we even left 5 hours earlier than we normally would to go to Dillons. I can't believe that almost ALL the camping spots were taken, I am just happy we got their early!! We found a small spot to fit all 8 of us. The dogs had a great time running around and the kids even had more freedom climbing the sand hills. I think we are going back in late October or in November, who knows.<br /><br />I think next year we are going to look into buying a travel trailer and sell our cute little tent trailer. The children (who are 9 & 11) do not want to share a bed anymore :) Plus Tyler wants a bathroom so he doesn't have to use the campgrounds potty.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3209678035640554237-397797061718731083?l=1968popupcamping.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Rogers Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16500460193311596959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209678035640554237.post-62785634887961394262010-08-05T20:42:00.001-07:002010-08-05T20:47:02.090-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TFuFrYtDESI/AAAAAAAAAKo/W_RiqM4m3Us/s1600/023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TFuFrYtDESI/AAAAAAAAAKo/W_RiqM4m3Us/s320/023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502138350175457570" /></a><br />On our way to Dillion's beach tomorrow, we can't wait!!! 3 days & 2 nights of having a great time with the kids & dogs ... oh, and husband :) If it was up to me, we would be there every other weekend or buying a vacation house near there. I love the beach & cool weather.

We are going back to Dillons Beach in 3 weeks to camp again. I can't wait! The kids want to move there and stay in the cool weather .. I don't blame them, I love that weather. I think for this trip we are buying a porta potty & a shower tent. Tyler doesn't like using the bathrooms that they provide around the camp grounds. Of course I will post new photos of our trip.

We are still finding things we need to replace or fix. The sad part was we haven't taken out the tent trailer in 3 years to the date! What a wonderful feeling it was to camp using our tent trailer and how easy it was to put up and take down. We are going again in 3 weeks to the same wonderful 60 degree beach, while it is 100 degrees in Woodland. Can't wait!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3209678035640554237-2453864871702942793?l=1968popupcamping.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Rogers Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16500460193311596959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209678035640554237.post-50033840806519264412010-07-19T13:18:00.000-07:002010-07-19T16:28:10.934-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TETfhQ6w9GI/AAAAAAAAAFI/VimMrdVHDFY/s1600/family+054.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fhgHrseUyWw/TETfhQ6w9GI/AAAAAAAAAFI/VimMrdVHDFY/s320/family+054.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495763207868970082" /></a><br />We have a 1968 Starcraft tent trailer (pop-up), we are the second owners so not much has been updated.
