Rio Vista campout - 2-5-11: The twenty things we learned last weekend

Last weekend, we went out on our first VW camping trip with Oak, who was 10 1/2 weeks old. We were slightly worried that things wouldn't go well. I'll avoid the attempt to build suspense and just tell you that Oak did fine.

We did learn a few things;

1. Packing, is more complex:

5. It was nice to be in Big Blue again. It had been months:

6. This is the best sunroof in the world:

7. EP is pretty good at this:

8. Oak doesn't offer much advice:

9. But he loves to watch...:

10: Me lose.

11. It's good to have friends that make wine. Thanks, Joe.
