We drove around in our rental golf car, a whopping $16 a day. It was great fun for us to see all the homes, trailers, campers and such. Most of the campers we saw were gorgeous with all the bells and whistles. There were also old campers that they built a house over it. Very cool to see how original it all was. Then there were some superb homes; many of which had a beautiful view of the ocean. As we toddled around the resort that we have our hybrid camper at, we were able to appreciate the things that others have but not be pouty that it wasn't us with the home that had an elevator, tiki bar and expanded look over the ocean. Yes, it would be nice to have those things but our time together as a family is much more important to us than working so hard that we can't make it down here to enjoy.
A friend of mind who is very blessed has a beautiful beach home at one of my favorite places. The problem though is that her family is hardly ever there to enjoy it. She and her husband work so hard and for so many hours that they are unable to get away to visit their lovely sea home.
So as I sit here in this small camper of ours, I am thankful. It is quaint but exactly what our family needs. There is plenty of room and all the necessary amenities plus a few extra. Some mornings are a bit cold in her and even damp. However, some days it is just perfect. Some days we may desire to go to the mountains and other to the ocean. Fortunately we can load up the LUCKY OPOSSUM and head out on an adventure.
It is simple. It is who you take with you that makes your adventures turn into memories. With our children, our critters and one sweet little camper, my husband and I will seize the day for all that it has to offer. Tomorrow may not come and today is what is most important.
