POP!

We loved camping so much we impulsively decided to buy a pop-up camper. We found it on craigslist the morning after our night camping and about bought it a couple of hours later!

The man we bought it from, George, was the original owner and took great care of it. He and his wife bought it right after she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. They traveled the country together before she got too sick. George is now 73 and decided to sell the camper because he just wasn't using it but it was hard for him to part with it. He did tell us that we were the "perfect couple" and he was happy that his camper was going to a good home.


He insisted on taking our picture with the camper and some of him saying good bye to the camper. He also made us promise to email him pictures from our first camping trip. He's a sweet old man.


The camper fits perfectly in our side yard. And it is going to work well as back up guest space when the guest room is full, like in a couple of weeks when my parents and sister and Michael's parents are all here for Sutton's baptism. Bonus!

Pop ups are awesome! Great idea for extra guest space, too! Can't believe Sutton will be baptized soon! Wow!
