Never Thought We Would...

We bought a motorhome.  Never thought we would.  It is just amazing how things change!

When the kids were babies, we used to love to go to Fort Davis and camp.  Tent camp.  Sleep on the ground, or on an air mattress (that NEVER stayed inflated) in a sleeping bag camp.  We did that until one summer when we were sitting in the campsite and it was 103 degrees and we said...let's go home and get into some air-conditioning!  And we did.

That's when we bought a pop-up camper with an air-conditioner!  We took that camper to Canada and back several times.  The kids have really fond memories of our pop-up.  In 2004 we sold the camper and bought the cabin and that was the end of camping for us.  But recently we have realized how nice it would be to go to Georgia and visit family, drive up to Canada this summer, visit Fort Davis again and be able to stop and eat, sleep, etc.  We thought we were going to fly to Canada this summer, but we couldn't take our doggies and my mom would not be able to go.  So...we bought a motorhome. 

We went to Camper Coaches RV in Lubbock (GREAT guys, and a really great deal!) and got a 23 foot Coachman.  We love it.  Mom and Rachel love it.  Even the dogs love it!  Now we are excited about the looooooong drive to Canada.  And Rachel promises to make us coffee whenever we need it!  A truck with a waitress!  Doesn't get any better!
