Memorial Day weekend we always set out to take a camping trip. We get up early in the morning and plan to leave early afternoon, but it turns out the same way every year. My husband sets out early to gather all of our camping hiking gear so that he can load it into the truck. After an hour or two I go out to check on the progress of things but there is never any camping hiking gear in the back of the truck. My husband always has the look of concentration on his face. The poor guy stands there trying to remember how it all fits. He tells me he had everything loaded, but forgot the grill has to go in first. I have to hold back my laughter because it’s the same conversation we have had many times before. It’s always been the same camping hiking gear packed into the same truck, but it never fits the same way. With my help we finally get all the camping hiking gear packed and leave much later than we planned. Maybe next time we should just take up mountain biking!
