If I sat on Kevin’s side of the table I’d be looking at it the whole time and we definitely would have to move. I lucked out and I can still see trees and sky and water from where I sit and work. 🙂 -L

Oh man….I laughed so hard at the “eyeball twitch!” That’s totally me…I like everything to match and look pretty. That brings me a certain sort of peace!

I don’t think I could sit and look at that – I know I’d have to move…fast!

Tell me about “Francis Bacon’s campsite”. I don’t get the reference.

@Kerri: I think our minimum is if the weather’s crappy just the Traeger for cooking and that’s it. Next come the chairs and the aluminum side table (that’s where we are now), and the “make yourself at home” level adds in some number of decorative items: solar tiki torches, woven patio mats, colorful tablecloth with LED lantern, and awning string lights. Since it’s SUPER windy here in the afternoons, there’s no awning, tablecloth, or patio mat. -L

I think they have 3 times as many items as we do, and we *live* in the darn thing! I’m actually surprised how often we don’t put out *anything* we do have — I thought that when we started this, the rug, string lights, solar ground lights, silver-colored LaFuma chair, stainless ice chest, cute tablecloth, etc., would be going out any time we stayed someplace a week or more. Usually, the only thing we pull out is the chair and aluminum side table to set the drinks on. :/

I know! Isn’t there enough room INSIDE for all that crap? (To be fair, they do have 4 teenagers with them…but still…once you get the things you need out of those EIGHT CRATES why couldn’t you put them away?) It’s like an episode of hoarders here. 🙂

(Also, another little observational tidbit: the father is wearing a “Proud to be an American” shirt, and when he bends over, you can see that the boxers he has on say “Kiss Me!!!” and have big lip prints all over ’em. TMI for sure.) -L

I can’t believe how people can have these huge monstrosity 5th wheels and still have all their stuff strewn everywhere. And yes, lines and sheets. Sheets raise and lower the sails, lines do the rest 🙂

I HATE messy campsites!
