Moi and the Anti-Glamp

First of all, I'd like to send a shout out to my 12 faithful followers (Hi Dad!) who haven't heard from me in two years. Why the hiatus? Pinterest. 

However, an upcoming camping trip made me realize it is time to brush the dust off the ol' blog.
Having said that, moi is taking one for the team and embarking on a 10 day camping and road trip to Yellowstone with my two kids and husband, the Anti-Glamp. He tells me Yellowstone is beautiful, with plenty of geysers and snack bars, but my only point of reference is Jellystone.
 When he first mentioned the idea of Yellowstone, I seriously pictured my kids and I hanging out with Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound. FUN! As a matter of fact, there are these really cool Jellystone campgrounds and the website guarantees families will enjoy everything "from swimming, mini golf, wagon rides...and of course appearances from Yogi Bear and friends." Throw in a coffee cart and that's my kind of camping! After email blasting him various links and Yelp reviews about the most awesome campground ever created since KOA, David finally tells me there aren't any on the way to Yellowstone; so I digress from Operation Jellystone. Of course, he is fully aware I am directionally challenged and have no way of disputing this statement. But it's like wearethisclose to meeting Cindy Bear and Boo-boo and David's fascination with living like a homeless person is this huge obstacle in the way of fulfilling a childhood dream. Does anyone know if Wisconsin is on the way to Yellowstone???
