Checking out for a few summer days

This Middle Sister is leaving the stager girls behind for a few days. Off on another Airstream adventure and a bit of glamping.

Closed

It will be silent on my end for a few days. I am off in search of R & R, food, family, friends, sunshine and heat.

Hittin' the Road

Leaving this Staging business to my trusty Sister. She will keep the furniture moving and groovin' while I head on down the highway. It will be quiet on the blog front but you all can handle a bit of R and R as well.

Happy Glamping!

More Airstream Love

Took my Airstream in to see about a polish. No one wants to take it on so until I meet that special person who is willing to make it shine I must be content with a soapy scrubbing in the Spring.
Poor baby...

In the yard was a couple of gems that had to be filmed.

Winthrop Love

On our glamping trip we stopped in Downtown Winthrop. Super cute town, easy to shop and lots to see.

 And a cute boy serving them up...Couldn't tear the girls away.

 My kids were unimpressed with this vintage gas pump. I am all too familiar with this style as I remember how many times as a teen filling up from all of our "cruisin'".

 I shall now begin to call all toilets and bathrooms the "washroom". I will start on Monday when we are loading up a truck. I will tell Sister Ex while she is selecting linens that the "washroom" is painted grey. That'll give her a chuckle.

 This city girl is utterly shocked when she sees undeveloped lake front. How refreshing.

 Oh, if life could be this simple. A straw broom (not a swifter) and a tin can (not a plastic, rolly hinged thingy).

Happy Friday!

Stopped by Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop Washington on one of our glamping trips. Had to pass all of these guys in order to get to the bar. Well it was only 3pm.  This vegetarian still appreciates the beauty in these animals. (Hope they had a good life....)

Can't Resist

Sent to me from my sweet sister in Santa Barbara. Love the colours!

Airstream Affection

Stole away for a few days for more Airstream fun. So far every trip involves looking at the sky just for the simple beauty of it. This camping thing kind of suits me.  It felt good to experience....

 the shades of blue...

 clouds...

 A lovely sunset...

 A hellish wind storm....

 A bit of calm in the early morning...

Our first outdoor camping breakfast...ever

And a quiet moment alone at the campsite.

 

Camping destination Wanapum State Park, Vantage, Washington.

Glamping

From a 2010 Seattle Magazine article by Kelley Moore I am diggin' this set up. Camping made super pretty and seductive (albeit not realistic).

Airstream Fun

It worked! We had an amazing weekend towing the cute Airstream and setting up camp. Parked outside our home on Queen Anne it was a show stopper. Everyone walking by wanted to tour the trailer and several cars simply stopped or slowed down at the sight. It was hysterical. They bring smiles everywhere they go.

We had the most vintage trailer in the park. Not many go back to 1962. The highlight for me was the delicious food cooked over the fire. The girls loved having their own twin bed and their own space. I could not wipe the smile off my face. What a fun fun weekend! Thank you brother Sean!

Happy Weekend

It has finally come true! Our little family is off on our first Airstream Adventure! It has been a dream of mine for years. I am going to find out if I should have just kept it a dream or if this is the leisure life for us.  Have a great weekend!

Hello Cowboy

Couldn't resist this visual. Time to "go west" on an adventure.
