My garden is flourishing again this year; I am such the accidental gardener. Tomatoes anyone (just give me about two more weeks)? I think I planted some of these monster, Seymour plants too close together.
And I am taking a page from Radical Mama's adventures last summer and braving the beginning of our vacation camping alone with my children. We'll meet the baby daddy in San Fran. I made a dry run with the new mondo tent this afternoon.
The cot is the same size as those old school tri-fold plastic lounge chairs...
I started using one when I camped at the beach and it was great as NO sand on my bed plus I had a place to sit when I was in the tent but with 3 LOs might be a tight squeeze if they decide to sleep with you :)

RM- Any tips? I am only "solo" three nights if you don't count my 23 yo Japanese traveling companion. She might not know how to set up a tent, but she will be an extra set of eyes on wandering toddlers.
K- If you water them, you can have ALL you want =;?}
MT- It came with a room "divider" that the girls already ripped down. I think I'll also be packing the air bed. But how compact is the cot?

I wish we could go camping with you :( That is another reason to force DH to move back to OR.
Does it have the little 'rooms'? My new fave camping gear is my cot. God I love the cot.

You know I'll be over for tomatoes! Mine are just putting right along....
That's a tent! (I do love a tent) They sure have come a long way from the family tent we had when I was a kid. Let me know when you will be gone, I'll take good care of those tomatoes for you!

I wasn't brave enough to set up a huge tent alone, though. Go you! I survived and I suspect that you will too although you may not do choose to go solo twice! :)
