Just assume child will sleep with parents. That's what's always happened for us.

Great campgrounds in NH near Santas village and story land. Really like mountain lake camping resort but this year we are staying at moose hillock.

 

Yeah, either don't bring them at all or have a lot of patience! Most of what people enjoy about parenting is knowing that their little one is happy and healthy and that they did everything they could to help baby be that way.

As far as camping, I encourage it. We took our kids at about those ages. Make sure to keep them out of the sun, away from bugs and have extra amounts of the necessities than what you think is needed.
We used a pack & play with a bug net over it and that helped a lot. Also make sure they have a beefy stroller along with them as a standard one won't typically work. All the rest is pretty much common sense.

 

Nickerson State Park, on the Cape, is beautiful and family friendly.

 

When my oldest son was that age, we were camping with a pop up. We brought a playpen with us that we set up in the camper so he wouldn't have to sleep in the bed with us. Honestly, at that age, you can sort of get away with a lot, the little one is just along for the ride. We got a seat that clamped onto the picnic table so he could sit with us (and much smaller than bringing a high chair or trying to feed him on our lap). Also, bring swings! Looking ahead, once their at potty training age, having a camper with a toilet was huge for us! Otherwise, lots of patience and have fun!

 

Did everyone have a vaca day yesterday?

 

Sounds about right. Any updates on your rig?

 

Nope. It won't see the adjuster till next month. Lol

 

Have they officially totalled it?

 

Hopefully the insurance company is moving faster for Rob than it is for me. It's been a month since I've been rear ended and nothing has happened yet. I'm glad my damage was minor

 

No. But, I've been contemplating selling, or maybe trading my Tacoma as of late.
Likely won't. Too much hassle, and if I replace it with a manual tacoma, or maybe a T4R, won't come out on top...
I miss having something FUN to drive.

 

No they haven't even seen it yet.

 

Nope. It's exactly the same. I have an appointment for them to look at it for the 1st time but that isn't until next month!

 

Is this a new thing? I've never heard of timeframes like this. The only time I ever had a vehicle totaled, the adjuster was there the next day - granted, that was ten years ago. However, when my sister got hit a year or so ago, the adjuster looked at it very quickly as well.

I have Commerce/MAPFRE and I think she does too.

 

In my case, I got hit by a rental car. It took my insurance agent a bit to track down the insurance company the rental company is using.

The rental company is Avis. When I got a traffic violation in Germany, Avis charged me to sell me out to the authorities, but the charge only had the rental name. It took me a dozen phonecalls over a few days of getting the run around before I could get some information. Seems to be Avis' thing.

 

I'm guessing not driveable?

 

The Rhode Island Saltwater fishing show was great. I went this morning. I’m glad I went early, because it got crazy busy later !

John Skinner, the YouTube fluke expert, had a booth. I spoke with him for a minute or so. I thanked him for sharing his knowledge with his fellow fishermen.

 

Love Skinner’s videos. He shares a lot of quality knowledge

 

I'm driving it everyday. It's totally fixable

 

@AllTacosFloat

I'll give you a wave if I see you around town, I'll honk if shit falls off

 

Skinner’s videos of trips where he is in his own boat, have been especially helpful for me. I’ve picked up his recommended gear, including the Dark Matter Skinner jigging rod, S&S bucktails, and Accurist bait casting reel. “Rapid vertical jigging”, with this setup, has made me a better fisherman.
