We can now say we own a vacation home! Although you might call it a redneck version of a vacation home, afterall it is on wheels, we are looking forward to our first big adventure. My Hubby and two other guys that he works with have gone in together to purchase this great pop up tent trailer.
They have been talking about this for years. Each guy realizing that they would not get enough use out of it to justify purchasing one on their own so they came up with the "Pop-up Co-op". Saturday was the inaugural raising of the pop up, which actually went pretty well. When you get three engineer types together they think they can figure anything out. Who needs the owner's manual?
So that means when you come to the lake, pulling your bedroom behind you, and with our camper AKA "The Love Hut", and our two guest rooms, we will now be a four bedroom resort!!! Bring your friends!!!!!

I have always been a big fan of Jeff, but this, hmmmmm, I don't even know what to say. If this contraption is parked in your driveway, I think you have grounds for divorce. Actually, the pink door fiasco gave him grounds for divorce a long time ago. So perhaps this is just fair play.

Okay, just so you know, our "vacation home" is not parked in our driveway, we already have a non-driveable white pickup truck sporting that spot. We learned this multi-vehcile, red neck thing from our very own Bergie. It just comes natural.

Now that the Sturmans are empty nesters they'll be taking off in that "vacation home" whenever they please. So we'd better watch out - we may wake up some morning and walah!!!! there will be the "vacation home" parked outside your house or maybe outside Lindsey's or Ryan's apartment buildings or who knows maybe in the parking lot of K State!!! YIKES

I only live 30 miles away. That means I am exempt from the contraption in my driveway. And besides, I have a homeowners association that prohibits such nonesense.
