Tin Can Tourist

So remember back in May when I posted on Facebook that Brad and I wanted to buy a Vintage Airstream RV? Well we did this past weekend. We bought a 26 foot 1958 Vintage Airstream Overlander - complete with a 4 burner stove, oven, refrigerator, sofa, dining table, desk, closet, bed, and complete bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. It is totally rad.

On Saturday Night, my parents took me out to eat for my bday in Southern Indiana and we passed this beauty on the road. The next day on our way back to Atl, we stopped and toured it. After Brad and I dreamed about it for the 8 hour drive home we decided to do something crazy and just get it. It was an incredible steal. The previous owner drove it to Wyoming last summer and was going to again this summer, but he sadly passed away. So we will pick up his dream.

Our plan is to completely redo (redecorate, because as you can see the inside decor leaves much to be desired) the inside and polish the outside. We started our Internet picture Inspiration folder already. (The mechanical parts were replaced last year - so we are in good shape there) Then next June after Brad graduates we are going to go out west for a celebratory trip. I am so pumped! It is going to rock our world. We are going to have to pick it up in September sometime - probably the week of my bro's wedding. We plan on storing it in Indy while we fix it up. We'll have everyone over for a kickoff party once it is shiny and good looking on the inside.

My friend made fun of me at work - she said I wasn't a retired 60 year old and had no business in an RV. But sheesh, I disagree. It is going to be so much fun seeing the world in such a class act trailer. Look 'em up on google - you all should get one too and then we can caravan together.

Yay!
