This past weekend, while Ike beat up Texas, we were roughing it at Samuel P Taylor park. The more camping we do with kiddies, the more relaxed our definition of “camping” becomes. Earlier this year, deciding we couldn’t handle the dirt in Housekeeping, we spent a weekend “roughing it” on some of the more comfortable […]
