We are back from Del Fest, where for 4 days our bell tent became a "Del" tent!
Camping at a music festival is a very different experience than a peaceful/ back to nature campout. We chose to put the focus on the positives of great music, fun organized activities for the kids, and the camaraderie of our like minded neighbors in the family camp. Then we tried our best to ignore the rowdy late night crowds stumbling by our tent and the flood light that we inadvertently set up camp by that shined like daylight into our tent all night long.
The nights were quickly forgotten each morning as the fun of a new day began. There was a stream to explore with nets and buckets, the Potomac River to splash in, puppet parades to march in, and amazing bluegrass music to provide a soundtrack all weekend long.
We got a whole lot of compliments and questions about our tent. We heard it called a teepee and "the Taj Mahal of tents"! A number of people stopped to ask what it was and to get a tour. Some even took down the name of the company we bought ours from! We are so happy with our tent and already planning our next camping adventure (of the peaceful nature variety).
