When we were in St. Louis, we frequently went camping with our friends from church, Dan and Donna. Their daughter, Rachel, was about the same age as our oldest two and they all loved to have little sleepouts in their camper.
A few years later, Dan called us up and asked us if we wanted to buy the camper. We agreed, and we then began dragging the kids around the country in the camper. It went with us to Yellowstone, Glacier, Utah, Oregon, California, and many places between. The most notable was 15-days straight when we were moving from Iowa to Washington (via the Grand Canyon).
Now it's primarily used once or maybe twice a year. It makes a great shelf in the garage. This year, I had 4 days off around the 4th of July holiday, so we went camping near Mount Rainier. Deanne was able to come, and Maria and Chris came up from Oregon to visit for a bit. It's showing its age, and there are fewer parts than there used to be, but we still enjoy getting out in the "wild".
