My husband is an avid camper.  He has been camping his whole life and has very fond memories of many of his campouts.  To my dismay, shortly after we started dating, he suggested that I take a camping trip with him and his family.  The reason for this is I am very much a city girl and I could not imagine spending a night in the wilderness.

I finally gave in and told him that I would go.  I certainly was not expecting the wall tents that we had to sleep in.  I figured I would at least have four walls around me and a roof over my head.  I was disgusted that I had to sleep on the ground and was very concerned that a bear was going to come eat me.

We can all laugh about it now as camping is now one of my favorite pastimes as well.  We take our children camping every summer and I find that with every camping trip, I become a little bit less the city girl I once was then a little more rough and rugged.
