As many of you know, I am currently on vacation and won’t be returning to work until after the Labor Day holiday.
Normally I would have written posts in advance and scheduled them to post while I was away but this time I didn’t. I’m not sure why. I was busy and just didn’t feel like it ;-)
But it does bother me to have over a week go by without any posts so I thought I would share some of my photos. Buying the best 4 person tent for your outdoor needs is a difficult task, especially if you are on a budget. Try to grab a quality tent as it will last longer and comes with advanced features to protect you and your family from harsh weather conditions. We have listed many top-notch quality 4 person tents. You can have a view, look at their specs, read their features and in the end decide which one suits your needs. In the buying guide section, you can behold the must-have features in a tent. And you are completely satisfied with one product, give it a final shot and start exploring the areas you had been dreaming of years. Even more information about the Best Coleman Tent can be found here on the blog.
If you are looking for a really spacious for 4-6 members of your family, do not pass Coleman Dome Tent with Screen Room. The spacious stent has enough space inside to fit even 2 queen-sized beds. This tent is 10-feet long, 9-feet wide and 5 foot 8-inches height from the center. It features a separate 10*5 feet long screen room that helps you sleep in the day time, as it blocks the 90-percent of the sunlight. Its improved WeatherTech Patented system ensures no water comes into the tent due to welded floors and inverted seams. In whatever condition you are going to camp, the tent will entertain you. In severe cold conditions, the tent might not hold up well, that’s the case for other tents as well, even premium tends would not be able to endure tough cold conditions. Yes, in summer and hot conditions, you enjoy camping with this tent.
The tent comes with a mesh rainfly, you can detach that rainfly as well and enjoy sky in dark nights. The tent is easy to set-up, within 15-minutes you will be able to set it up and enjoy. It comes with mesh storage pockets. You can stash small necessities within easy reach due to its mesh pockets. This is the second tent on the line up of the Lynx series. The ALP mountaineering is a big name in outdoor gears manufacturing, but their Lynx series is a little old, less durable but worth your money. The quality is there, but not a rock-solid construction like the other model of the same company. The tent shares the same size as the line-up latest installment Taurus 8.5×7.5 feet. The tent fits 3-people easily, four can also be slipped-in but good to go for three persons. The weight of the tent falls around 9 pounds, a little bulky than others.
The tent is a high-quality option for campers who plan to camp in summer conditions, offering maximum water protection with its waterproof and UV-resistant rainfly, tough bottom, and sealed seams. Two large-sized vestibules provide ample storage space, and the closable vents and added mesh promote better ventilation. The tent is built to withstand tougher weather conditions and is a great resource for campers. It also features convenient mesh pockets on the walls for easy storage.
It is much cooler here than it was at home. I’m almost cold. Apparently it was hot right before I came but somehow Fall has arrived here. It’s been so long since I lived in New England that I forgot how short the summers can be.
The first full day we went to Lake Willoughby, a secluded lake near my brother’s house. It was only 63 degrees but was a beautiful day. As you can see, some people were swimming but I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. There was no way I was going swimming.
Alex and my brother (a hardy Vermonter) did not have the same problem and had no problem playing in the water all day. Alex had purple lips much of the afternoon.
I was feeling a little down before I left for Vermont and am already feeling much better. I think I spent too much time working this summer and not enough time relaxing. This trip is exactly what I needed.
And I’ve decided that after being alone for quite some time, I think I am ready to start dating again ;-)
Barbara Swafford says
Hi Kim,
It looks like you’ve picked a beautiful place to vacation. I’m so happy to hear you decided to leave “publishing ” behind and concentrate on “you” instead. You definitely deserve the break.

Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Barbara – Yes and no. I pretty much always go to Vermont for my vacation :-) Thanks!
Jim says
I’m really glad you’re enjoying your vacation!
Your pictures are awesome! It looks beautiful there!
:-)
Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Jim – I am. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it but I really am :-)
Dot says
It looks great! I’m glad you got relaxed and recharged.

Hi Dot – Thanks! It’s recharging me but is not yet inspiring me to get back to work.
Ajith says
Sounds like you and the kid had a much needed break with your family people.. Have fun!

Hi Ajith – Thanks! We are both having a great time. Alex loves hanging out with her uncle and it gives me a break. I get to just lay on the lawn chair while they play :-)
TH says
This is so nice, Kim. I am so glad you were able to get away. Sounds like you are having a great time. Great pictures!
Kim Woodbridge says
Thanks Terri :-) I do miss you though.
Vered - Blogger for Hire says
Glad you’re having a good time. Kids never seem to mind being cold if it means they’ll have fun. :)
Good luck with dating… must be scary and exciting at the same time!

Hi Vered – It’s mostly scary. It’s been a long time :-)
stratosg says
I am really happy you are having a great time Kim. This year was hard on you and you did so well…. As for dating, did you have anything in mind or did you decide it out of the blue? (sounds like the first one :P )…

Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Stratos – It’s actually more of a spontaneous decision. Until just recently I had no interest in dating at all. And I hate dating – it would just be nice to have someone fun to hang out with – who also thinks I’m awesome :-)
stratosg says
That sounds like an easy task for your type of character ;) Everyone thinks you’re awesome!
Kim Woodbridge says
Thanks Stratos! Hopefully people in the real world will think so. :-)
Rick Castellini says
Woo hoo! Sounds like you are having fun and finding “center” again! Now stay off your site for just a few more days! ;-) Easier said than done…I know that your site, like mine, is like another child.

Kim Woodbridge says
Hi RIck – I can’t do that. And I’m a morning person and everyone else here sleeps in so it’s easy enough to do a couple of things in the morning. I’ve been posting the photos anyway …
And thanks :-)
Rick Castellini says
They are fun photos! Looks like you are having a REAL vacation…fun and relaxation.

Patricia says
I have decided that vacations are part of life’s necessities, whether we think we need them or not.
Dating is just dating….or making new friends….or so many are doing things on line even for friends these days….I was not good at dating, but I think when the decision comes it is well worth a try.
I enjoyed your pictures – and it is feeling very Fall here too – I rather like it.

Hi Patricia – I think dating is like a bunch of bad job interviews ;-)
Vermont has been beautiful :-)
Madhur Kapoor says
Cool Pics Kim. Enjoy your vacation.

Hi Madhur – Thanks! I’ve been having a wonderful time :-)
Wilson Pon says
WoW, the view around the Lake Willoughby is breathtaking! I never been to there before, maybe I’m going to plan a trip and spend my summertime next year at Vermont.
Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Wilson – It’s beautiful there. It is very rural there so if you visit you have to enjoy the outdoors – there really isn’t anything else to do.
Ravi Kuwadia says
Kim, looks like a fun vacation. Just lase week we were in Virginia camping. The weather in Vermonth looks exact opposite to our camping trip.
Have fun :)

Patricia says
I forwarded your comment about dating on to my kiddo! thank you! I believe she shares your concept!

Hi Patricia – Yeah – it can be exciting but a lot of it is uncomfortable.
