Add scared of the dark to the list. My wife will go on day hikes, actually enjoys them, but refers to camping as "playing house in the woods." She likes to sleep in a bed, with sheets and bathrooms that have running water and flush toilets. I've given up trying to enlighten her. Next month my two daughters and another dad and a friend are going canoeing for a few days. My wife will have time alone at home. It all works out somehow.
