I guess summer is officially over. I've been prepping my class lists and spending time writing lesson plans, so it's that time.
For the past couple years, I've tried to make the last weekend of summer something special because, as a teacher, I go from spending all summer with them to being so busy in the Fall. Add in all the extra time I've been home with them because of Covid, and I know it's going to be extra hard to go back to work this year.
Because traveling to Disney World (our usual destination) is out of the question right now, we opted for something closer.
Emma has been asking to go camping for a couple summers now (so much so that it made it onto the 40 in 4 list!) and I decided it was finally time. With it getting chilly and it being their first time I decided that renting a cabin at the Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro was our best choice.
The cabin was perfect for us. It had one double bed and a set of bunk beds, as well as a small table. We cheated a bit because it had a small heater and electric outlets, but we still had to go use the restroom building and cook on the fire! It was the perfect first time for us!
We loved all the extras that the campground offered to us. Even with Covid restrictions, we were able to play on the swing sets, do tie-dye, play mini golf, and go swimming in the pool!
We had such a great time camping that the kids have already asked to go back (and I've started looking at trailers!) I'm so happy that we were able to continue to make memories even in the time of Covid, and were able to mark another thing off the 40 by 4 list!
Check out the Boston / Cape Cod KOA for a really great family weekend!
