A Family Tent

I have yet to take the whole family on a camping outing and would really like to do so this fall. To that end, I really need a nice tent that will comfortably hold four individuals, have some sort of rain cover or porch area and won't break the bank. If anyone has suggestions please leave them in the comments.

I will post more as I research.

Nature Rocks

I've just stumbled upon this via GeekDad and it seems like a really cool site for those families that are looking to connect with nature and with each other.  It helps you find parks and recreation sites in your area that you can explore cheaply if not for free.  

So check it ou!
