camping

My name is Julie and I grew up in a family that loved the outdoors, so it makes sense that I married an outdoor enthusiast. When we were first married, we went camping nearly every month, sometimes multiple times. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, stargazing…anything you could do out of doors. Even the sex in the wilderness was great! Through the years, (nearly 26 of them) we’ve been to most of the National Parks across America, National Forests in many states, and various other places. In a word, we’re fanatics!

That slowed down a little when we had children, but we still try to go to the mountains or wherever at least a couple times each summer, and sometimes during spring break or other times of the year. My husband, Mike, is in real estate, so he can frequently set his own schedule. I was a stay at home mother, but after our children got old enough to go to school, I returned to the industry I had most experience in: banking.

Speaking of our children, Mike and I have two sons and a daughter, ages 20, 18, and 15. As I stated before, we continue to go camping as often as possible, and the children love going with us. I honestly thought I’d experienced everything that the outdoors had to offer, but recently I had an experience which proved me wrong!
