My husband never comes home from work during his lunch break, but last night he did because there was a package waiting for him. Jay wouldn't tell me what was in the box, only to wait until he got home to open it.

Like a kid on Christmas morning, Jay danced around the living room with the package in his arms and then picked up our son and danced with him as well. The suspense was killing me. What was in the box?

Jay sat on the floor with John and opened the box. His eyes lit up and a huge grin spread across his face as he pulled a little kid's fishing pole from the box. I can't remember the last time I saw my husband so excited. Jay then rambled on and on about how he can't wait for our vacation this summer. We're going away for a week and will be staying in a place with no electricity, no running water and no indoor plumbing.  We love camping and the outdoors and the fishing pole sparked a conversation about all the things we're going to need to get before our trip.

If you love the outdoors and camping, be sure to check out the 10th Annual Binghamton Outdoor and Camping Show at Binghamton University's Events Center. It runs from 12pm-8pm today, 10am-8pm on Saturday, March 19th and from 10am-4pm on Sunday, March 20th.
