Remember last summer when Brad and I attended a local vintage camper rally? The bug bit us both and my sweet husband started looking.
And he found us one!

Brad and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary this week with our first foray out of our county with our 1976 vintage Airstream.
I have to say it was way more fun than our shared colonoscopy experience a few anniversaries ago!
I didn’t really know if I was the camping type, but I discovered after our long weekend away, that I absolutely LOVED it. Our little space, the fresh air, the views, the time to relax-it was all good!
We found our little tin can online, drove to Indiana with the truck, and bought it-behavior that is very unusual for my used-to-be-a-banker-now-a-farmer-analytical husband. We didn’t do spreadsheets or anything, just made an offer that was accepted!
For trial runs, we took the trailer to our local state park a few nights, but we were so busy at that time, that we would race in there about 10:00 p.m. and leave by 6:00. Not a fair rehearsal, but it did give us a chance to figure things out before taking her/him on the road.
Lucking out, we found a great spot on a point of the lake which gave us beautiful views of the sunrise.
We hiked.
We biked.
We napped.
We laughed.
And I dreamed of what I want to do to make our camper more “us” without really making it just more “me”.

Oh- we are still working on this crazy gmc "glamper" that we have. I don't know if we will ever get it done. However -It IS newer than yours-snicker- 1978!!!! xo Diana
my dream camper is an Airstream Bambi…yours is a close second.
it's beautiful, have so much fun…together!
SO FUN! Growing up, my family did the "sleep in the old army tent, on the ground, in your sleeping bag" kind of camping, but your glamping looks MUCH more fun (and cute!). We were thinking of breaking out the tent next weekend and taking a mini vacation / break from work in the basement and this totally inspired me 🙂
Hi Susan! You sure aren't letting your marriage get old and same-old, are you? LOL!
This looks like such a great time, and you had each other. What a witness to marriage, I am so happy for you!!
Happy Saturday,
Ceil
What fun! I have seen so many cute camper ideas online and a few in person. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Happy glamping and Happy Anniversary!
I am glad you enjoyed your camping experience.
We camped A LOT when the boys were young. I am of the mind set that I did my time then.
It would take something very special for me to venture out again.

Sounds wonderful and Happy Anniversary – what a blessing 🙂 I have never been "Glamping" just camping 🙂
Hugs to you!
Happy Anniversary!
I want to get a camper of some sorts this next year. Those Air Streams were the Hilton on wheels many moons ago. I am so glad you both enjoyed your time away. Really just being together and away from the norm can really refresh you. But I admit all the pictures of the older camper trailers make me drool.
Blessings, Roxy
You lucky, lucky girl!!!
There "ain't no way" B would do this. Not the purchase or the travel. 🙁
Can't wait to see the magic you do to yours!
