So it is the middle of summer and two small vacations are fast approaching. I have mentally compiled the list of all the things I am suppose to me doing in order to get ready. I must add though, I have also procrastinated in doing any of the things on the list. While camping with my family in the wilderness is great, for some reason I am just not that motivated. It was way easier last year when I went with a man. I got food and clothes and he did the rest.
The first vacation is just north of Mammoth. I get to spend time with my family, see wonderful views, have fresh air, and fishing. All I can seem to think about it mosquito bites, no running plumbing, sleeping on an air mattress that will inevitably stop holding air by the third night (even if Costco guarantees it for three years), and wondering if i can put off going potty till sunlight because there are a lot of noises in the dark outside my tent. Not to mention the 6 hour car ride with my little monster who wants to sing "California Gurls" the whole way there and keeps the grip of death on the ipod.
I am still unsure if I will end up having the motivation to go to mammoth or if I will pass. I am for sure going camping in three weeks to Leo Carrillo with the other side of my family. I should add that I am using the term camping very loosely. Due to the fact they have showers, actual campsites, restrooms, a little store, street lights and about 500 other people in neighboring campsites.
I love being so close to the water and getting up early to play in the tide pools. Even if I freak out a little when something slimy feeling touches my toe and I freak out at first until i realize it is just seaweed. It's also fun to watch Becca play in them. Its even funnier to watch her freak out when something touches her toe.
Today I am attempting to finish getting over being sick as well as attacking the giant pile of laundry in my room. I am three loads in and the pile is slowly shrinking. Then I will go back to my mental to do list and prepare for vacation.
