Guests are on the way, every spare bed is spoken for, and it’s time to dig out the legendary camping air mattress. After rummaging through closets and realizing the only inflator left plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter, you trek outside, mattress and pump in tow.
Ten minutes later, you’re hunched over in the driveway, illuminated by porch lights and the glow of passing headlights, as curious neighbors slow down to watch the spectacle. The air mattress gradually takes shape while you try not to think about the fact that the last time it was used was a camping trip two summers ago.
With the deed finally done, you drag it back inside—slightly dusty, slightly lopsided, but ready for action. The best part? You get to wave goodnight and retreat to your own bed while your guest embarks on a true adventure in indoor glamping.
