FiveJoy 4 Person Pop-Up Camping Tent
I love camping in Yosemite with my family!! We go every May and we have a great week! (Well, after the ‘no-net’ withdrawals that is!) I am thrilled to add a new tent to our camping gear. Check this out! A 3 to 4-person camping tent that POPS up and ready to occupy in seconds!! Since the tent we have now takes an hour or more to put up; seconds is amazing!! I am giddy over this 4-Person Instant Pop-Up Camping Tent tent!! First it fits in a zippered pouch that lays flat. Completely flat! The tent is held together with elastic so that it doesn’t just pop up when you pull it out of the pouch. Inside the door is mosquito netting so you can actually have the doors open for fresh air! SWEET!! Windows on each side with roll up shades. There are tent stakes to keep your tent from blowing away!! Nice and roomy inside too! It’s Got Perks First there are double doors!! IN a POP UP TENT!!!! Not only are there doors in the front and back but there small areas before you actually get inside the tent to wipe off your feet or take off your…

How To Have An Amazing Camping Vacation With The Kids!!
There’s nothing better than loading up the car with camping gear and taking the kids on a wild adventure outdoors for the weekend. But before you fill the trunk with tents, your camping stove and all the other essentials, there are a few things that you need to plan and do to ensure that you and the kids have a great time on your trip. Have A Family Meeting Sure, it’s tempting to book everything without asking your kids, but sitting them down in advance and asking them where they’d like to go, for how long, and what they want to do when they get there will really help you pick the right trip for your kids. Sitting down together as a family will not only help you select the perfect camping vacation for your family; it’ll also help teach your children a valuable lesson about teamwork, which is something that we’ll touch upon later. Book A Campsite Yes, it can take all the spontaneity out of a family camping trip, but booking a campsite will assure you of a good spot in one of the country’s best camping sites. It will also guarantee that you will have access to some essentials, such as restrooms, electricity and even a nearby…

Camping At Doheny State Beach!
Well, as much as I was looking forward to Yosemite for a week, Mother Nature had something else in mind. Rain, mud, cold weather AND a 3-year-old?! I don’t THINK so!! We tent camp. So imagine all that mud in the tent after say ohhhh the first 5 minutes? Yeah, NOT happin’!! So, instead we loaded up the 2016 Kia Sorento and drove up the coast to Doheny State Beach for our week of tent camping. The Kia Sorento SXL V6 AWD was the PERFECT vehicle for camping!! Not only does this puppy let me load it up with TONS of gear but, once it was unloaded it was our commuting vehicle for running around site seeing!! THREE rows of seating!! Comfortable seating all three rows!! I personally rode in all three rows to test them out. MORE to love is the fact that even when all three rows are being used there is still room in the very back to carry day-packs and supplies for hiking! One thing the Sorento didn’t help with was my gracefulness. Yup, day one BAM. Tripped on the sidewalk!! Not even on a hiking trail. A SIDEWALK. OUCH! Scrapped up my knee and hands…
