This tent was purchased by my dad in 1992 or so for a backpacking trip we took. It was during my first year at UC Santa Cruz. It is a very nice tent and I used it quite a few times in my college years when I still thought camping was something other than sleeping at less than a 4 star hotel. The last time I pulled it out was for a YMCA travel camp that I was (gasp) a leader on in 1997. That trip was the last time I went camping. Lynda and I "tried" to go camping in 1998 I think and we did indeed end up in a Holiday Inn. So since then it has been in storage in a closet or attic. Lynda had the idea to bring it out on Sunday and we set it up on the back deck. It was still in excellent shape, I guess you get what you pay for (thanks Dad) and Dylan absolutely LOVES it. He thinks it is the most excellent little room just for him.
Maybe I will go camping again after all.

I love your blog and keeping up with Dylan. You have one gorgeous kid! It makes my teaching heart sing that he goes to pre-pre school. This is my newest "favorite". I hope you update this blog frequently!
