I'll Do it Myself

My wife will be out of town, as per the usual, for her annual gambling trip with her cousin later this month, and on a whim, I decided to make a trip for myself as well. So, I booked a campsite at one of our usual stomping grounds and I will spend that time with my dad—sort of an impromptu Father's Day get together, I suppose.
I'll pull the camper alone and the place will be all mine. This will actually be the first-time camping without my wife. Dad's got his own camper.
It should be a great time. We always have fun together, and we both enjoy camping very much, plus it's a great area with lots to do, so we'll definitely make the most of it.

That sounds like a great way to spend time together. I have never been camping but it's something we've talked about.

@porwest We've been talking about actually camping but I think both still count. Hubby thinks I'll end up glamping because I don't like bugs lol

That sounds like fun, and a neat thing to do with your dad.

As much as I think it's important to spend quality time with our significant others, I think it's also just as important to have alone or "me" time as well. I hope you and your dad have a blast when you go camping together.
My son and I do a camping trip every year together, where it's just the two of us. We spend a week backpacking and camping in remote wildernesses, and it's some of the best quality time and some of the best memories we've ever had.
