I have a three year old daughter. I've also got a good quality 3-season tent and down sleeping bags. Each weekend, my daughter and I have been camping out in the back yard. It's amazing how fresh the air is and how different the experience from being in the house, just feet away. Even when it rains, we are completely protected. We awake with the sunshine & fresh air. The rain fly is nearly opaque so there's no indication we are still surrounded by civilization. I slowly unzip it, hoping my first view out will be of a deep three-canopy forest with no one in sight. Damn, wrong again.... It's Sunday, and I have to return to work tomorrow.
