Just plain camping June and July

First time getting out for us was mid June @ Twin Lakes. The weather was perfect, we got to relax with family/friends and the best meal was Saturday evening which included grilled steak, dutch oven potatoes and a good green salad.

Grey comforter added this year

July camping again at Twin Lakes (for it is close) with the grand daughter. It rained Saturday and Sunday off and on, mostly on and then perfect Friday evening.  Lots of game playing and dvd watching, especially Coraline and Lady and the Tramp. 

Jenga and a tea party anyone, anyone....

my husband slept in the 4 man with an air mattress through lots of rain

Saturday night winding down thank God for DVD players

Sunday morning bacon and eggs.  We love Wegman's uncured organic bacon :)

Our big thing was to get Elly out camping with us for she lives mountains away and we did. She had been playing in the Winnebago and Shasta all July at Gramma's and was very excited to finally get to a real campground. 
All month of August we did not make it out and now we are mid September and I am needing some nature in my life.  Gearing jewelry projects for 'on the road studio' creating lately for at least a few more outings.  Not quite sure where as of yet, pretty sure though  not close ones ;)

Wanted: Vintage Travel Trailer Buddies :)

I am having a very hard time finding vintage travel trailer owners in Pennsylvania.  I bet you are wondering what says you are vintage, well in the vintage camper community it is a pull behind that is 25+ years or older that has been lovingly restored or kept as close to it's original 'new' state as possible.  Some owners of these fabulous pieces of history go to great pains in restoration down to the smallest detail while others refurbish theirs creating themed trailers perhaps a beach cottage, old west wagon, hippy chic or decked out like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Twice we stopped into the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana the last 2 years which is about halfway between where my daughter is now living and us in Pennsylvania.
One of my favorites is a gorgeous 1954 Yellowstone they have with it's beautiful light birch wood paneling, port hole style windows and it's mid century modern details.

Isn't that a beautiful thing, a vintage travel trailer rally!!! I think Pennsylvania would be a perfect setting here  to have such a gathering, there must be some of you hiding out there.
Contact me, let's get something started.
Here is me below with our 1966 Winnebago 217 1/2-T and we absolutely have fallen in love.  My dh and I both are born in 1966.  Decorating the interior making it a time capsule from that era is a passion and a joy.

all ready for camping last August 2012

enjoy,
