I camped out a lot as a child. It was something that my parents used to like to do. I don't know why I didn't really get into it as much myself as an adult. Maybe it is just something that went out of style and is becoming popular, again, because I've been invited to lots of "camping" parties this summer, and they are just awesome! What's nice is that you don't need a designated driver. Everyone can partake and then you sleep and wake up to a nice breakfast with friends. And you can make as much noise as you want to without disturbing the peace. Yeah, you don't get the best night's sleep on a hard ground, no matter how plush the sleeping bag, but who cares? You can go home and sleep the next day!
