4. It is wonderful to get away from the frenetic traffic on coastal highways for a while. There are a few road trains and cattle trucks, but they are fine if you give way to them as you should.

In fact, he would even curl up. But he is given a second chance and this time, he is more successful. Together with his whole family, they travel to the South of France which is a perfect summer destination. Instead of being afraid, he tries sailing again. He enjoys it this time. He also tries cycling while his wife and his child are happy with their own activities. Overall, they have a good time with lots of happy memories.

Camping a family tradition

Perhaps, you have already known that one of my passions is camping with my hubby and with my son. We have been doing this for one year and we are hoping for more years of doing it. This is the reason why I love the story from stuff.co.nz which is written by Leighton Keith. It is all about “Camping a Family Tradition”. It is the Montgomery family who frequently go to New Plymouth’s Belt Rd Seaside Holiday Park as their family tradition for 72 years already. Yes, you’ve heard it right. They have been visiting the place for 72 years already. One of the family members brings a caravan while the others would stay and sleep inside the tent. They do lots of activities like boating and fishing. They appreciate watching the kids having a great time and playing together. They are the first people who are happy when they know that the place’s future is already secured.

I wanted it to be like this. I wish my family and the family of the son in the future will be able to maintain a great tradition like this. I am really proud that I am a camper because it builds a strong family.
