Goodbye ol' friend ...

Today we said goodbye to our first r.v. :(  I shed a few tears as the new owners pulled her out of our driveway.
Our first camping trip in our very first trailer
May long weekend 2008 @ Cross Lake Provincial Park
So many memories made and good times had in that trailer!  We honestly wanted it to go to a good home (strange maybe, do we have attachment issues?!) and are very happy with the couple who bought it :)  They live near and we've already drove by so Blake could take a look!!

Cal and the kids @ Cross Lake Provincial Park, May long 2012
Our last camping trip with the Silvertip!
Now the hunt is on for a new, more appropriately sized r.v.!  We've waffled back and forth over what floor plan we'd like.  At one point I was almost adamant that we needed a 'bunkhouse' model.  But after talking to the couple who bought ours, we've really realized we don't need to get too crazy!!!  They've tented all their lives (across the world and with their young children) and remarked that their new trailer will be like staying in a 5 star hotel!!  I can not imagine tenting with kids.  I'd love to be 'that person' but it won't happen!  However, as long as we all have a bed (or beds big enough to be shared!) and some floor space in case of a rainy day, I think that is all we need.  So what we're mainly looking for is a model with either triple single bunks or jack and jill bunks with a super slide.  I'd love a u-shaped dinette as well but that is not a must ;)

Hopefully by September we'll be blogging about our new home away from home :)

Good bye old friend, enjoy your new home :)

Know how you feel babe. At times I still miss the old trailer and the good times we had in it when you were young.
