The space heaters were a lot more comfortable than the campfire was
My parents divorced when I was 10. It wasn’t as traumatic as you might think. Actually, I found that my parents were better people when they were separated from each other. I did miss spending time with my dad though. However, the time I did spend with him was really nice. Almost every weekend we would go camping. He had this travel trailer and we would just go have fun in it. My friends didn’t understand why I never had my weekends free but I would rather go camping with my dad than go to the mall anyway. Well I’m all grown up now and have a life of my own. It has been several years since I went camping with my dad. But last month he called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to go camping. I said yes. Unfortunately it ended up being one of the coldest weekends of the year. Fortunately, my dad had two space heaters in his trailer and we were hooked up to electricity. We would go out and go hiking or biking and then come back inside of the trailer and thaw out in front of the space heaters. I have to say, it was very hard to pull ourselves away from those space heaters and go have more fun outdoors. Even cooking outside was difficult. The space heaters were a lot more comfortable than the campfire was. Still, I had a good time and this reminded me of all the fun we used to have. Dad and I will definitely have to go camping a bit more often again.
