Camping

We took our first camping trip of the season and had an absolute blast!  There is a wonderful place in Jefferson, NH called The Lantern Resort (thelanternresort.com) that offers motel and campground 
accommodations.  We are a tenting family for the time being, though someday we hope to graduate to a 'pop-up' camper.  This place was luxurious in the world of camping.  First of all, we had our own water source AND electricity panel.  Typically for camping, there are several if not dozens of sites sharing a water source strategically placed in a communal point for all sites to reach.  If this weren't enough, there was a brand new bathroom with hot showers, for FREE!  And a heated pool, playground, petting zoo and nature trails on site.  And most importantly, it is right across the street from Santa's Village!  

I hope you if you ever decide to camp and visit Santa's Village, you will consider this resort, it really was so great with the amenities.  And I almost forgot, they have a sleepy time hay ride every night along with games in the pavillion.  And they have Miss Sleepytime available to visit your camp site (or motel room) to read bedtime stories!  This place was sooooo family oriented it was a breeze.  It also allowed for some great freedom for the kids to roam and explore all in a safe environment.  

As always, we really enjoyed our time at Santa's Village.  This was our third visit and every year we are impressed with the cleanliness of the park and friendliness of the staff.  The kids have a ball and it is so reasonably priced.  We find this place to be of nice size in terms of amusement parks.  It is small enough to be able to complete everything in one day and not wait in lines.  yet it is big enough to explore and be in awe over, without feeling overwhelmed by too many rides and people. 

Special thanks to The Keefe Family for sharing our camping weekend.  We love you guys!
