We did it.

We've been talking about it for a long time. A year, maybe? We've been talking about it, dreaming about it, saving for it, and we finally did it. We bought ourselves a travel trailer!

Jon and I both grew up camping with our families. We have so many incredible memories at different campgrounds across the US. We decided not too long after M was born that we want our kids to have memories like that. We decided on a travel trailer because tent camping with small kids isn't exactly our idea of fun. We'd much rather have a warm trailer to sleep in, especially on cold rainy nights in the Pacific Northwest. So we saved up money and searched the sale ads. Jon went to go look at a few trailers, but nothing that really sparked his interest. Then last week he told me he'd found it. So we loaded up, rode the ferry to Seattle, and drove an hour to see a trailer. I could tell as soon as Jon saw it. This was the one. I could see it, too. It fit us. I could see us making memories in it for years to come. We looked at the trailer and talked to the owners. After about an hour we had worked out a deal. Jon would pick up the trailer the next day. We went to bed that night anxious.

The next morning, the kids and I went to the airport to pick up my mom. Jon left and went to go pick up the trailer. As soon as he got on the ferry he text me, "WE OWN A CAMPER!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!" To say we're excited is an understatement! We can't wait for all the adventures we'll take! One day, when our kids are grown up, they'll come back home for the holidays and we'll all share stories of the memories made in this beautiful trailer. ♥

So here she is, our first trailer, a 1995 Fleetwood Prowler 24C.
