This morning, Abby, Isaac and I went up to Menlo, GA to pick up our camper - or more correctly a two-bedroom 1 bath home on wheels: a 31-foot fifth wheel with a bunkroom up front and queen bed in the rear. When we got there, the kids took turns writing notes to me on a paper airplane, and sailing it to me, as we waited for the seller to arrive. After getting some tips from their neighbor, who is a retired trucker and expert on fifth wheel hauling, we headed home. We picked up Tracy at the house and headed to the storage yard. Let's just say I've never backed up a 31-foot trailer before - I got it in the space but in the future hope to be a bit more graceful about it.
This trailer is just about perfect for us! In the front bunkroom, there are two upper bunks, a lower bunk, and a little sofa that pulls out like a futon. The kids were so excited to get to see where they will get to sleep next summer. I can't wait to get it out for a camping trip during the Christmas break and start learning about it. Toto, I don't think we're in a little popup anymore.

You guys are going to have a blast! I will check in and see how things are going as this unfolds. We drove out to Yellowstone two summers ago and had a wonderful time there and back. If you need a good recommendation for a lodge and camping spot in the the big horn mountains let me know.
Watch out for bears!
