Sounds like you had a lovely vacation! Last year, we went camping twice, once in PA and once in MD, and both times it stormed every single afternoon and everything was soggy and wet. UGH! But this year when it rained during our trip, it was so hot I didn't care that I was soaked. Being near the beach and hearing the surf while you're sleeping sounds pleasant, though. .-= Anna´s last blog ..Review- A Hidden Affair by Pam Jenoff =-.

I do hate the wind! But you're right, it keeps the yucky bugs away. Beautiful beach spot you were at, I will check it out for a potential trip. I'm sure the kids loved Thomas the Train too! .-= Elle´s last blog ..Big Sur Camping at Fernwood Resort =-.

The whole experience sounds like it was fun, even with the rain and bug bites. It will go down in the history of family vacations, for sure.

We went for a Day Out with Thomas about four years ago in PA, when our oldest was three. We’re going to take our little guy next year. It really wasn’t crazy and we were able to get great photos of Thomas. and sitting right in front of him. We had to pay for the latter though.

I love to camp, but there is nothing worse than camping in the rain. Ugh. I love your plan B (soft bed, nice breakfast, trains!). I grew up on the Lakes, so I'm always happy to see lovely photos. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking- Grilled Pizza =-.

Belle, thanks for sharing your amazing vacation with us. Your pictures were breath-taking and made me miss the Boundary Waters. .-= Cat Woods´s last blog ..Loaded Connotations =-.

You should bring your “boys” down to Scranton, PA to Steamtown National Park. It’s a great place to learn everything there is to know about steam engines and railroading. And it’s right in downtown Scranton next door to a lovely mall. The old train station in the city is now a gorgeous hotel.

I loved reading this post. I have to admit. I'm not a camper so the end of your trip sounds ideal to me... a nice inn! .-= Nan´s last blog ..Nan’s Notes- A Dog’s Purpose =-.

If I were your son, I'd say this was the most perfect vacation. I'll bet he didn't mind the bugs at all. What moms do for their boys and husbands. Glad you scored some time at the Inn. .-= Margot´s last blog ..Book Review- Savor The Moment =-.

We had a hellish start to our vacation and booked an impromptu room in a different city as well. The vacation was saved as was yours I see. .-= Ti´s last blog ..Reading Quirks =-.

What was Dylan’s impression of his first camping trip? Did the rain get him down or was he happy just the same?

Me, I don’t mind camping in the rain but I strongly object to setting up in the rain. THAT is not fun. We had a really wet night camping a few years ago (maybe last year). The ladies were doing crafts under the dining fly while I stood before the fire, under an umbrella roasting hotdogs. We laughed a lot so it was a good time. Rain storm in a tent…love the sound!
