We traveled to Dallas yesterday to enjoy a great sale at our favorite REI. We had been considering getting a new tent for quite a while (over a year), and finally got one! We've had our old tent for about six years, and it's had a good amount of use. It leaks, does not have a rainfly, and is very hot in the Texas summers though.
The tent we got, the REI Quarter Dome T2, should be a perfect solution for the hot weather. It is an ultralight two person three season backpacking tent with mesh walls and a vented rainfly. It has a lot of great features such as vertical side walls, two doors (which zip all the way around and can be tucked into pockets on the ceiling), two vestibules, and lots of fun, ingenuitive details.
I was going to take a picture of the tent when we set it up in the living room last night, but forgot. We are so excited and ready to camp! Now, if we could just find a free weekend to go try out our new home sweet home:)
Looks and sounds like a lot of fun! You and Matt will make such fun parents some day, your children will love adventures with their parents! So many memories to create.
