Memorial Day Weekend 2011 Mama thinks the family should camp!
***
Think of all the wonderful family memories we could make together??
***
A camping we will go :)
It ultimately became the most expensive camping trip ever you see, because we ended up buying a 30 ft. travel trailer!
The weekend started out in the usual camping way...we pulled our truck, affectionately known as the Silver Bullet, up to site #30 and began unloading our first and last primitive camp set up. We are a family of four, and our tent technically sleeps 7-8, so there was plenty of room. And actually it wasn't that bad... until the rain came.
We ducked into our friend's travel trailer to weather out the storm. It kept us cool and dry, and provided us with some technological entertainment... a TV. That was nice and luxurious, as luxurious as camping goes, but when the rain stopped, reality set in and we hunkered down with our wet blankets for the night. It wasn't bad... after you fell asleep.
Oddly enough, the camping neighbor walks over to Joe, our friend, and says his Mother-in-Law was selling her pretty-close-to-brand-new travel trailer. Did he know any one interested? Without a second breath, Joe turns to us and says... "She's for sale... just sayin'"
The next morning, after rolling off the nearly-on-the-ground inflatable mattress, the complaining began...low bed, wet blankets. listening to the guy in the next tent snore. I said, half jokingly... Nothin' $9400 wouldn't fix. All in good fun. And that was all she wrote.
By Monday afternoon She was ours!
Follow along while my life unfolds as the newly titled Trailer Traveling Mother of Two!
