Rod called from work yesterday saying that there was an RV show going on this week-end about 35 minutes from here and asked if we wanted to go today??
Such a silly question!
YYyyeesss!!! I wanted to go & since I still speak for both boys, that meant WE wanted to go!
This morning we headed out to breakfast where I got the most amazing buttermilk pancakes! Yumm-o! I do not typically eat pancakes but the smell was over taking the diner, and they were calling for me. Paired with some turkey sausage, they were a perfect breakfast treat! However, the coffee left alot to be desired!
One of the best memories I have of childhood is going camping with my then best-friend, Amy. Her mom & step-dad had a 5th wheel camper. They were going to kings island for a week and it was the two older sisters turn to take a friend. Amy asked me, and Tracy asked Jenny. It was a perfect way to spend the summer,since these girls were the best friends any girl could ask for!
It was my first experience camping and I fell in love!!
When Dr. James Dobson, a Christan author who focuses on marriage and families, said one of the best things you can do for your family is take them camping. It teaches them the most in the shortest amount of time and bonds your family in unimaginable ways, I was over the top excited.
Rod & I have always wanted to take our boys camping. Since he now has a full time job, our dreams are closer to becoming true!!
We were at the RV show after Rod went into work for a couple of hours this morning. There were some things that needed his attention, and since this job is slowly becoming his dream job, I did not mind him heading to the office this morning.
On HGTV we have been watching the RV shows for years now, salivating and dreaming for the day when it is our turn. Last week, we were watching Undercover Boss and the man who owned KOA camp grounds was the subject. Rod & I sat there wide eyed because we had NO IDEA they had Kabins to rent!! We logged on to their website, and with a click of a mouse, we are heading camping this summer!!
Korbin is over the moon!!
Yet, the dream of a RV is still something we are hoping to have come true! We were in and out of more than 40 RV's this afternoon. The boys enjoyed looking, and particularly loved the lay outs with the bunk beds. We talked to several dealers, and finally came up with what seems to fit out family.
A Class-C drivable RV which ranges from 40K to 200K. The one we fell in love with today, is 89K with the bunk beds, a tv in each. A full size bathroom, a queen size bed in the back,and a king over the driving area, four tv's total and sleeps 10. It was a great to have a "face" to the dream we have had for so long.
With a reservation to camp at KOA this summer, we are on our way to the dream but the RV is still out there waiting for us and we left the RV show excited for the future, and looking forward to the short term future(KOA camping) and the long term future ( the RV).
As we drove away, verse popped into my head as the boys pleaded for Toby Mac in the CD player, "If you have faith the grain of a mustard seed, I will move your mountains". In those darkest times, all we had was our faith. Christ never left us. He moved our mountains, and now we are on the other side of the mountain, and so thankful!!
