As summer – my summer – draws to a close with the impending
start of preseason, as a family we are trying to cram in as many outings and
activities on our to-do wish list. Last Saturday, we were able to cross off
“camping” from the list. It was our first time camping as a family, and
fortunately the weather cooperated. After a ridiculous flooding rain last
Friday – parts of Dutchess County got close to 6 inches of rain in 12 hours,
what is this … the rain forest? – Saturday dawned as a perfect day. We drove
out to Rhode Island to meet our good friends, who had been camping at
Burlingame for about two weeks. Although we are more “lake people” than “shore
people,” we enjoyed a nice day at the beach at Misquamicut in Rhode Island. Two
air mattresses in one average sized tent, and the five of us crammed in there
for the night. I like my creature comforts, so this constitutes “roughing it”
for me. But for one night, I can manage.
