9. Over 50 years ago, we camped

pretty much parked the car, let the kids sleep in the car, and we slept on the ground in blankets. Good times. We camped like that several times. We got a pup tent and used that to camp at Pirateland near Myrtle Beach. Then we rented a camper a couple of times.

When I was a kid, my best friend and I would camp on the ground in her yard, or on the ground in my yard. One time, we slept on roof of my Dad's workshop (the building roof was M shaped, and we slept on one of the slopes on the inner side, no danger of falling off) Not much sleeping, though-we made a little mischief on our street. lol
