Yes We Can!

It is now January 2016 and we have a big plan in mind!  We want to have a family camp out in Yellowstone National Park.  Yep a 12 person get together for three generations.  This will be a first camp out for my two oldest children and their children.  There will be two trailers and one family in a nearby hotel.  Our travel start day is 27 May 2016!

I have a countdown calendar and already gathering items for our get together, scheduling trailer servicing, preparing menus, and planning activities for us all to enjoy.  I did ask the youngest  girls for their ideas and they want smores.

I am really lucky in the friends in my life who are giving me tons of information and inside input on how the park works.  Now we are really getting excited to plan, plan, plan.  This is so exciting for us.  We, after seven years, we are just now really  becoming comfortable with the Airstream dream and embracing the experiences yet to come.  Stay tuned for our little journeys and prep for the big day.

This must be our year for our dreams of travel come true.  I received silver rivet earrings for a Christmas present and a dear friend of ours made us a beautiful reminder of our dream!  A stained glass replica of our rig!  The silver beauty we love.

Update to today!  The work is done, cleaning and updating stuff done, now food and excitement are our focus.  We are going to tryout many items that should engage children and adults in old-fashioned, non-tech family fun.  An ice cream maker that looks like a soccer ball, traveling eco friendly fire pit for s’moors and a large propane outdoor cookstove so us oldies don’t bend over the fire to cook!

Our fun season starts in a week with a shakedown to recheck all repairs and new “stuff”.  This well be a great wine and food experience!  Six Sigma here we come!  Then onto Idaho and Yellowstone!

Bon Voyage and Great Wine!
