CAMPING!!! Beach and Yosemite!!
A few more items that we believe are MUST haves! First up, JoeShade. This umbrella is AMAZING!! Read my full review here: Portable UV shade anywhere I need it!!! 
Camping 2013
Mazda5 Grand Touring was an AMAZING ride!!!
I am always on the lookout for camping items to test.
Each item sent will receive a full review minimum of 300 words with plenty of photos the item new and in use. Items will be pictured on Instagram during the trip with proper credit given. This page on my blog will be updated with all the items we review and be a permanent part of my blog. I will add to it each year with updated reviews and photo’s.
I will take into consideration any item! Here is a general list of items that we normally pack (I will be adding to the list as I think of things!) First and most important we are camping with a 3 year old Alice!! The princess loving, outdoor sweetheart! Alice wears a size 9 kids shoe. 5t clothing. Keeping her entertained is always a major factor!!
Camera accessories. I have a Nikon D7000.
Food. Including snacks that are easily portable for hiking.

I’ve never really had the chance to truly camp. We did go to a camp site as part of my orientation for an internship in alaska. We had cabins though.

Beaches would be my favorite, then mountains, add them together and you have the perfect vacation for me. I have always loved the water, so I married a sailor! He is a captain, he also loves the water. If he had his way, he would live on the water, I would love a houseboat! There is nothing more relaxing than water, the sound of trickling water or moving water.

I love traveling, I just wish hubby and I had better finances to do more of it! Right now we just take short day trips, just to get us out of the house, and a change of pace.
Kathleen Kelly
Looks like a great time had by all…thanks for sharing!
Dee Lafrenz
I need a better camera. My pics are ok, but yours are great with this camera. We also need a newer vehicle before we can just drive! Love traveling in the US and Canada!
Connie
