I do like the term "Camp Swank".

It's a keeper.

it fit this trip beyond my ability to comprehend. Im just afraid that any camping I do from here on will fall short

It will still be camping. That's still fun.

And no, there were no pink flamingoes, but the camping was tres swank in ways that "ordinary" (albeit still fun) camping can never hope to be.

Ah, Tiki Camp and Lounge Camp and everything in between!

No pink flamingoes? Bummer. I need to pick me up some of those if I can find them, probably have to check ebay. I think they stopped manufacturing them so they will begin to be scarce.

I got one at Sears Essentials that lights up at night just recently.

Our flamingo flock is in our storage unit, all the way in the back near the wedding stuff. I missed them this trip.

I guess I'm of the minority here that think plastic birds meant for lawn decor are hideous.
