This weekend is the RV and Camping Show at the Fairgrounds. It's a great day to look at RVs and dream of better weather, because it is way too wet and dreary to actually be camping. My sister, Jacci, and I went to check things out.
We come from a family where camping was a way of life. Every year our parents would pack us all up in the station wagon, load the top carrier with the tent and sleeping bags, and we would head out for vacation. I thought everyone did this. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized how fortunate we were
It is also a family tradition to get together at least once each year for Family Campout. We have a big family get together with relatives from Iowa and Kansas, usually somewhere in southern Iowa. Nine Eagles and Lake of Three Fires are two favorite destinations. Some of us camp. Some of us just drive down for the day to eat, and talk, and eat, and sit around the campfire, and eat.
For a long time I have wanted a small RV so I could pack up my dogs and head out to visit family and friends, and explore the out of doors. So far it hasn't been in the budget, but I think I am getting closer. That's why it is so much fun to go to an RV show and walk through all these vehicles.
I will not consider the $445,000 bus that costs three times as much as my house. But some of these others might be in the running. I like the high end finishings of the Winnebago Navion, but the Four Winds or Winnebago Spirit might be closer to my budget, and I would love to have either of them.
It's fun to look and dream! Maybe I should buy some lottery tickets?
