The last time I went camping I forgot to bring the camping chairs. Getting out of the house in the morning was just to much. Pack the car, feed the kids breakfast, get all the kids stuff, get the dog, etc. I did not realize what I had done until we were unpacking the car at our campsite. I could see the chairs leaning against the wall in the garage, all ready to be thrown in the car.

Fortunately there was a picnic table at the state park campsite we stayed in. It would have really been a pain if that nice wooden monstrosity was not around. I also learned that wooden picnic tables of the kind that they have in many state parks are not that comfortable if you spend a few days with that as your only seat. I gained a new appreciation for my own camp chairs and hope I don’t ever forget to pack them again.
