faux camping

An activity that involves being packed up by your city slicker friends and towed 4 hours away to an place almost as urban as the one you just left to spend the weekend in a "cabin" that is nicer than your own house. There you spend 2 days watching your city slicker friends occupy themselves with the hot-tub (what is so fun about sitting in hot water?), going to local wineries (ick), and fussing over there 4 small dogs who hate the outdoors and shake as if they having a seizure whenever they must venture outside the "cabin".
Boy, I sure am glad I had that extra $150 to drop on listening to you and your dogs whine every time there is a bug withing 35 feet. I LOVE FAUX CAMPING...not.
