I mentioned in an earlier post that my husband and I are planning to take the grandkids outdoor camping before school starts. Well we have actually scheduled the trip for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. We are going to Rockcliff Lake in West Virginia.

We bought this gorgeous, huge 100+ square foot tent a month ago and haven't used it yet, so are really looking forward to finding a nice, quiet spot on a mountainside, pitching the tent, and having three glorious nights under the stars....
