Washington City here we come...

Its almost that time.. Camping at Aunt Nelda's up at the Yuba River. This year I will need a new air mat. We just got back from a vacation at the Santa Cruise area where we camped one of the nights. I found out then that my AeroBed has a slow leak. I woke up several times in the night to find myself on the ground. While I'm at it I might get my dream camping set up. As camping at the river there is a bathroom and shower in the cabin, a stove for heating up the potluck dinner and lots of family. Is it really camping when you can shower and put your clothes in the laundry? Here is my wishlist to make it even less like camping.
Of course a airbed is a must. $39 at Sam's Club is a regular air queen bed. But at target a double high is only $49. Which got me looking at target. (The pump is extra for $19 so its actually nearly $70.)

I thought that with a pump for coleman air furnature why not a chair. They are only around $20 each. But if I was willing to pay $60 for chairs I would go with This bowl style chair.

And no setup would be complete without a table for dice & card games and stuff (Zilch maybe?) And for some reason coleman has a table and stools for half what just a table costs ($24 vs. 50). I will have to go instore and look at it.. It may be cheap plastic.
The Creme-De-La-Creme is the tent. Ah, for $199 for a tent might be worth it for this. Rooms, Shelves & Big windows is only the start. Room to stand and power and lighting build in!! Wow!
But why spend $350 when you can spend $35 more on this? A rechargable electric lantern that looks like a regular camp lantern?
