Our Favorite Vacation Idea is Weekend Camping and Canoeing

Our family's favorite vacation idea is to take a weekend to go camping and canoeing. There are a number of family-friendly campgrounds within a short distance from our home, many of which have canoes available to rent for those without.

The kids love to explore the sandbars and little inlets along the river, and every trip is a learning experience.

Of course, campfire cooking can be an adventure, but who doesn't love s'mores?

It doesn't get cold enough to freeze the rivers here, so this is something that we can do any time of the year, though summer is a favorite.

Of course, we always come prepared with mosquito repellent and sunscreen (no matter what time of year), along with whatever comforts we need.

Many campgrounds have electrical service available to selected campsites, so we can take a small fan to keep relatively cool on hot evenings.
