we just drove 2.5 hours to buy a pop up camper the kids and i ...and then straight away 2.5 hours in return...the only thing it seems in DOERUN, ga (our meeting spot) is a dollar general from whence our dinner came....pretzels, canned peaches, saltines and pineapple sweet bits....wow.
but i am SOOO happy about the pop up!!!!
i'll photo it on the morrow....we all CANT wait for our first trip!!!
here's how is all came about.
we saved our frequent flyer miles for AGES to buy tickets for me to take the kids to visit my Godmum sally in england (we should be there now). but sally died in nov and i waivered taking them anyway but in the end decided it wouldn't be the right time...i'd be so sad (my mum and sally were so close that my grieving for sally would be mixed with re-grieving for mum) it might be a mess!!
anywho...we were able to get our tickets refunded due to the death....
but they don't refund MILES...they only refund the cost of the tickets!!!
so, we had this money that felt like a gift really....the miles were just there from money spent on paying bills for years...they were 'free' too...as was the money....
so i thought if i wasn't going to take the kids to england (and as a little moppet is coming along we won't be crossing the pond anytime soon) i'd put that money into a different kind of travel....a pop up camper!!!!
the one i bought is a 1993 pop up....that is so clean and looks new on the inside! i just love it! the kids think it is their new playhouse adn i can't even imagine how much fun (and easier) camping is going to be as a family!!!
anywho..home now....exhausted..kids silently asleep ..and of course i just watched the latest installment of downton on pbs (which i will rewatch tomorrow with josh =))
ahhhhhh.....ok....crawling to bed.
i have wanted a pop up FOREVER! Well, really an RV, but id take a pop up anyday! How fun!! cant wait to see it! where did you find it? craigslist?
