3.1 (Tessa's task) Vacations Mean Camping
Read Three Books
When I was growing up my parents didn't have much extra money, so our annual vacation was almost always a camping trip. I loved those family outings. From the car ride, to setting up our camp site, to all the outdoor fun activities. As their careers progressed and they had a bit more money, we'd sometimes rent a lake cabin. Better accommodations, for sure, but just as much outdoor fun! So this task is for you, Mom & Dad ...
1. Read a book whose title begins with a letter in VACATION (Ignore lead articles: A, An, The)
2. Read a book whose author's First AND Last initials are in CAMPING (ignore middle initials, if used). Letters may be used only as often as they appear in the target word.
