Packing List for Camping

I have to keep around a Camping Packing list of everything to take camping, because otherwise I'll forget the most important thing like the camping tents!  Until last week I had my list on my phone.  When the phone went dead I lost my list.  I decided to make another here on my blog that way it is always handy and I can't lose it again! Medicine is always at the top of any packing list, because unfortunately we've had at least two trips cut short because we forgot our daughter's medicine.

Here is my list of essential Camping Gear!

Air Mattress
Air pump
Blankets
Sleeping Bags (Winter weight)

Paddle boarding in Roatan, Honduras

Roatan Sights and Attractions invited us to come out and paddle board with Steve's Paddle Shack over in West End of Roatan., Honduras. 

Paddle boarding is surprisingly easy. My four year old was too small, but the boards are so steady that he sat on the front while my husband paddled. Our ten and seven year old both learned and had fun.
My balance is not great, but I was still able to do it. It's quite a work out.
Once we were done we headed over to a nearby baleada restaurant that had been recommended to us Chapi Catrachas.  They were wonderful, especially the avocado baleadas!

Roatan Sights and Attractions is an awesome resource for everything you need to know about Roatan.  They also offer giveaways and free activities and a regular basis. 

Guiness Factory

The Guiness Factory is huge.  They have a complex spread out over 55 acres.















You can not make out from my picture what they are showing on this tv, but I had to post this picture.  On this tv they are showing American's enjoying Guiness while watching a football game.  The game they are watching is actually a movie Friday Night Lights.  Which is a movie based on the highschool my husband and I both went too!
