Another French Camping Trip
We had a trailer tent - essentially a caravan/tent hybrid, bringing together the very worst of each.

As my parents were setting it up, I - being a good boy - locked the car and came to help. Unfortunately the car keys were still in said car. As were half the components needed to properly erect the tent.

Then the storm started.

Cue: My dad smashing one of the windows to break into the car, without anyone else in the vicinity seeming too bothered that this was going on.

Two days later, leaving the campsite, the exhaust fell off the car.

Within three days at the next campsite the battery on the car went flat. Someone (ahem) had been sitting in there listening whatever mid-80s dross that someone (ahem) was into at the time.

We were like a less funny Griswalds
