for charloft: Dream Vacation Drabble

Camping - Ben had always wanted to go camping with his father. With the boy scouts, or an RV trip with Mom cooking the fish they managed to catch.

Sitting around a campfire telling scary stories while making s'mores. Dad pretending there was a bear in the forest that would come out and get them, then crawling into his lap for safety at every cracking twig.

Falling asleep trying to count the stars, no matter how many times Mom said there were too many.

Skipping stones. Boating. Fishing. Hiking. The whole nine yards.

That would be Ben's perfect dream vacation.
