Labor Day weekend each year is always a fun family filled weekend. Is the one time of year that we all get together and go on our annual camping trip before the kids head back to school. My favorite part of the entire weekend it’s the evenings spent around the campfire sharing stories and making s’mores. This year however the campfire turned out to be our only saving grace, because the temperature is dropped so low that we were all freezing. As with any outdoor adventure, you need to be prepared for just about any type of weather, however since it was the beginning of September we never planned on waking up to 40 degrees. I remember going to bed the night before and thinking it was a little chilly but when I woke in the morning and could see my breath I could hardly believe it. Our whole family are tent campers and so none of us have a alternate heat source other than the fire at night the battle of the cold temperatures. I think is that moment I would have given anything to have a portable HVAC unit with us so that I could just adjust the temperature and get warm again. I got up and dressed and as many layers of clothing as I possibly could and headed down to the camp store to get a cup of coffee. There were many other campers that have the same idea as I did and we all decided to hang out there until the sun was fully up. I do love our family camping trips but maybe next year we should look into renting a vacation house instead, at least then we would have some sort of climate control available.
