I know several people who are planning their big outdoor camping trip for Memorial Day week-end already. Some of my friends have made reservations at camping sites or they are doing some resort camping and skipping putting up the tents and sleeping in sleeping bags. They are opting for a few more comforts in the great outdoors. The outdoor living season is definitely here. For us down here in the southwest, the outdoor living has been here for awhile, but it seems when summer is close at hand, more activity and plans are made. Memorial Day usually coincides with the schools last days too, so outdoor camping works out perfectly for that week-end. If you don’t want to deal with crowds, then barbeques and other outdoor living activities will abound that long week-end. It is still too far in advance for me to start thinking of what my family will do. We usually do our outdoor camping sometime in June. It is hard to believe, but summer vacations plans are in the works for many again.
