June is National Camping Month! The weather is perfect, the kids are already bored without their classes and homework and Mom needs a break from televisions, phones, computers and indoor cooking. So it’s time to inspect the tents, get out the camp stove and find a tree limb to hang our straw hats on for a week or so.

Now…the big question…where to go? The National Park Service has tons of activities going on all over the country, but that makes it even harder to choose! The kids never agree on anything and my dear husband is no help with his mumbled, “wherever you want” answer.

So I came up with an idea: why not leave it up to chance? I’ll have everyone in the family (including dear hubby!) write down two places they’d like to go on scraps of paper and then we’ll have a disinterested third party draw our campground out of a hat. We could end up anywhere from the Kenai Fjords in Alaska to the Everglades National Park right here in Florida!

Wherever we go, I’ll be happy to sleep under the stars, make up some S’mores and ditch the devices for a while.
