Why we go to Eagle Camp

Getting to camp is no joke.  We need a lot of stuff to make the week fun and tolerable.  I have to pack for camp 5 weeks before I know the weather forecast for the week.  It is not easy and I rely on my list....sheets, flashlights, tennis rackets, bike stuff, rain gear, warm clothing, baseball stuff, swim stuff, fishing stuff, hot pot, and the list goes on and on. Driving to and from Vermont is no picnic.  This year we drove home in two days....two 15 hours days.  But, it is all worth it. 

Vermont is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  What is not to like about 70 degree days in August?  Wearing sweatshirts and jeans in August...yes please!  All of that is great, but the best part of camp is family.  We get to spend one week with Drew's family that we rarely if at all see during the rest of the year.  It would take a lot for us to miss camp.
