Memories that last a lifetime!

I was thinking the other day about the future of the RV. In the current hectic paced life we lead, with an emphasis on technology, what is the future of the family camping trip?

I was on a plane to visit my daughter in Virginia, and as we were flying over the Grand Canyon, the pilot made the usual announcement that we were flying over the Grand Canyon, and every parent took their children to the windows of the plane so their children could “see” one of America’s most spectacular natural wonders.

And then it hit me. Most of these kids had never seen the Grand Canyon, or probably any of our other National Parks, other than looking out the window of an airplane. And that’s too bad.

Some of my fondest memories are family vacation “road trips”. The Grand Canyon, and all of the other memorable stops along the way. While the argument can be made that having a “Trees of Mystery” bumper sticker wired to the back of the car is annoying, it is still something we talk about, and remember fondly. Life is not about how fast we get there, it is about the memories we make along the way.

Maybe it’s time to slow down, take a deep breath, reconnect with our families, and make memories that last a lifetime.

With spring rapidly approaching and hopefully the snow in our past. We all start thinking about what we are going to do and where we are going to spend our spring & summer vacations. RV camping is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. I find it funny that when I'm planning my vacations and thinking about what I'm going to do while I'm gone, this seems to be some the fun of my vacation (imagining my travels is almost like having a pre-vacation).
One of the hardest things to do is pick your location without knowing what it looks like. I found this site while getting Northwest Camping Center set up on Twitter. If your travel plans this year are to go RV'ing, then check this site out before you go www.campsitephotos.com . While looking through the pictures of the campgrounds you could be staying at; maybe, just maybe, you too will be on a pre-vacation while planning your summer travels.

Happy Camping!
