Hilton Head Island, Disney World... you knew camping had to crop up again sometime soon. We headed to the backwaters of the Mississippi to test our "sea legs" on the parental units' houseboat. (Do not confuse houseboat with yacht - while the boat is a spectacular get away, sleeping 10 had us busting at the gills and all horizontal space accounted for).
With gas as expensive as it is, we opted to stay in the marina most of the weekend but even that provided some campingesque relaxation. Yours truly spent most of his time on "the Lido deck" drinking ice cold beverages and eating sandwiches.
The kids enjoyed the fishing and the marina's pool and even went to bed without too much fuss each night. Of course, sleeping in such close quarters with three distinct family groups makes things extremely interesting - especially when you have Mexican for two different meals. We'll just leave it at that.
