We call it Glamping
My wife and I haven't been on any trips away from the house in quite some time so we decided to load up the trailer and dogs and baby and run up to Texoma lake for the weekend. It really occurred to me that if we lived simpler lives we would have more time to take trips like this. Or better yet live out of a trailer full time!
So sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a faithful trip... Sorry now that song will be stuck in your head all day.

Two of which are show dogs and the other loves to lure course (bags not real). On our vacations we were spending way too much money on hotels, meals, and even boarding our dogs sometimes. We decided to follow the "turtle principle": we carry our house with us. That way we aren't stuck in our hotels and all our furry and non furry McCoy's get to spend time in the great outdoors.
If you like camping you would LOVE Glamping (Glamour Camping). It is so relaxing. You are not stuck in one place if you don't want to be and the people that you meet are priceless. We have been from Texas to Tennessee and Kansas to Arkansas. Your movable home can be in the mountains or on the beach, at a lake or in the woods.
One of the things that we learned about traveling this way is you have to be strategic on what you bring. While we have the creature comforts of home things like starting a fire, or packing clothes, or even wifi can be a problem.
We recently found that if you take your dryer lint, and a used paper towel roll or toilet tissue roll and soak them in a bag with old grease from bacon or Vaseline, you can start a fire instead of lugging round starter logs. Plus they are basically free.

And let's face it this:
Is way better than this:
It is so relaxing and nice to be out of the city, away from constant phones, having to do something every minute to just relaxing like our baby CB is doing.
Honestly, just get out doors. Quit reading this blog and go have fun with your family or friends. Be a part of nature and live simpler.

Nothing beats the great outdoors! Our camping was more traditional - in tents, but we enjoyed seeing how simply you could live and all the things you really don't need.
