Divider Conquered!

Greetings fellow Glampers!

As we bluster into the autumn season, Laura and I have found the falling leaves and chilly weather inspiring.  As the prime summer camping season winds down, it’s prime-time for an Airstream Improvement Project!  Camping trailers are the perfect outlet for the consummate DIYers.  Hmmm… now where to begin?

Airstream DIY curtians

It’s Going to Be Curtains for You, See

Sometimes my inner voice sounds like a gangster from a 1920s movie.  Okay, maybe a lot of the time.  And that brings me to curtains (er… coit-ins, see?).

My Camper, My Castle

Dear glampers,

 

One of the first things I always seem to do when we move into a new place is tack stuff on the walls and then make something that I feel is the absolutely THE THING I MUST HAVE TO LIVE HERE.  Our Airstream is no exception.

I Like Ike

Greetings Glampers!

Before we turned the Labor Day corner into Autumn, Laura and I wanted to sneak in one last “Hotter ‘n 100 Degrees” Texoma summer season glamping experience.  Luckily, the weather gods were more than happy to oblige (104 degrees!  Yeesh!) as we discovered a new gem in Northern Texas: Eisenhower State Park.

When Good Glamping Goes Bad: Creepy Crawlers

Dear glampers,

 

It’s hard to believe summer is almost officially over.  Today we thought it would be fun to discuss one of those things that we all encounter somewhere along our glamping trips:  insects in camp. Yuck.

Tips for traveling with kids

I Survived: A Parent’s Account of a Long Road Trip

Dear glampers,

 

I remember being absolutely terrified and adverse to drives over 30 minutes when our first child was born.  We were living in Tacoma, WA, and nothing could persuade us to travel to Portland, OR (an hour and a half away–and a city filled with books, flowers, and craft beer… our favorite things!).  But moving to southwest OK and becoming glampers has changed all of that.  What’s that? A two-hour drive to go fishing for an hour before we hit triple digit heat? Let’s go!  So let’s talk road trips!

On the road

We’re taking one last summer road trip this week (without the airstream, sigh).  No doubt we will be seeing all kinds of glampery things that will need to be shared.

Your can follow our trip on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and hopefully we’ll even do our first post from the road!

Happy glamping!
Laura

Happy glamping!

Lake Superior Split Rock Lighthouse

Minnesota: Lake Superior

Dear glampers,

 

So first we went north, then we went *more* north.  After two months of 100 degree days at home, we couldn’t get close enough to the north pole.  However, we did settle for the north shore of Lake Superior.  It was totally rad.  Except the part where our beloved dog Blue tore her other ACL.  But it was still just as rad, AND we built up our triceps caring around that poor 50-pound dog.

Glamping road trip to duluth minnesota

Minnesota: Duluth

Dear glampers,

 

It was with a touch of madness that we embarked on our 2,200 mile glamping trip to Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin last year.  There were things we needed to be in the area to do, baptisms, wedding celebrations, family visits, so why not turn it into one big old glamping trip?! And our first big trip after buying the Airstream just a couple of months earlier.  So off we went, two adults, two children (our youngest was 18 months), and two 50+ lb dogs (one of whom had a torn ACL).
