Life seems to only get busier. Each year I think about how “this summer” I plan to spend more of my evenings relaxing and spending the few precious months of nice heat. Each year it seems that there is more to do. Being a Dad, buying a new house and big projects at work don’t make the summer any longer.

During the long weekend we went down to visit my wife’s relatives. I took a few shots that remind me of Norman Rockwell and of being a kid. It is nice to forget about everything and just enjoy life for a day or two. That is why this year I am excited to go camping.

We could not book our usual campground this year but that was a good thing because we are trying a new campground and it looks nice. Since there will probably be no cell reception I will not bring my Blackberry work bought me just so I am not tempted to play Bricks, I will not bring my watch because I don’t care what time I wake up, eat lunch or take a shower. I will not be bringing anything electronic other than the air pump for our giant queen size blow up mattress in our tent.

Not my kids but still kind of cute
