Honeymoon
No, it's not what you are thinking. We were married in March of 1958. This picture was taken on our delayed honeymoon in May of 1959. When we were married we had a very small wedding because my mother refused to come if my father came, and my father refused to help with expenses because we were still in college. Naturally there was no money for a honeymoon, and no time to take one.After we had both dropped out of college, and were expecting our first baby, we finally went on a honeymoon. We camped in one of my favorite places, Sequoia National Park in the High Sierras. It is so beautiful there.
Do you remember when pregnant gals wore maternity tops? Personally, I think they looked better than the tight stretchy shirts that gals wear nowadays. Oh well, styles change, and they will probably change back again one of these days.
We haven't been camping in many years. The last time we went was about 1990. We took the 2 youngest children and went to a campground near our home here in Indiana. It rained most of the weekend, and we ended up going to a movie, and to a restaurant to eat, then we drove home.
We don't camp anymore. If we had to sleep on the ground, how would we get up in the morning? I have to have something sturdy to use my arms to get up from the floor. Fortunately we now have enough money to stay in a motel when we travel. I have a couple more camping stories, but I will save them for another time. Do you have any camping stories?

I remember maternity tops! hehe! I'm not a big fan of camping but I've done it before... Perhaps I'll write a post about it!
I agree with you on the tops. I wore them too. I'm not a hugs fan of camping either. No sleep, is my complaint. We usually use air mattresses, so we cheat, but it's still not a satisfying sleep time. I prefer motels and watching my grandchildren swim. We went to that park when the children were all at home yet. Something so peaceful about those places.
I used to enjoy camping. Sometimes I even think about dragging out the camping gear and going again...then sanity strikes
I think you saved a lot of frustration by skipping the big speech. I heard it through filters and still got aggravated!
There were the top and also maternity dress( pregnancy dress ) .
Camping : once only since our wedding ( which was very simple too )

I remember maternity tops.
Times have changed. Now we have to congratulate people for conduct that was crticised in the past.
Yes. I've been to a few baby showers for unwed moms. But, it's not the baby's fault. He/she still needs clothes and blankets and stuff.
And the mom needs lots of love and support.
