Spring is Here!

As we make our preparations for our spring & summer vacations, one of the questions we ask ourselves is "where do we go?". If you live in the Pacific Northwest, this is not a very difficult question to answer. We have a variety of choices right outside our door. If your looking for some change this year, and you have a little extra time. Why not try something a bit different then heading to your favorite camping spot an hour away. RV's give us the ability to travel long distances and bring the amenities of home along the way. If you have never been to Yellowstone, The Badlands, or Glacier National Park, then what are you waiting for!? 

You will experience some of the most memorable, and the most beautiful, regions of our country. 

WARNING!

This is a trip that will make you smile, let you see Elk, Moose, Antelope, Buffalo and even Bear close up.

Again, WARNING!

This is a trip that will allow you to hike and bike in some of the most amazing spots, swim or fly fish on a river (somewhere in Montana or Wyoming, you will not care where) and kick back by a campfire with your family. In these economical times, we all debate the cost of our vacations and the time away from work. In my opinion, you cannot put a price on time spent with your family.

Memories that last a lifetime!

I was thinking the other day about the future of the RV. In the current hectic paced life we lead, with an emphasis on technology, what is the future of the family camping trip?

I was on a plane to visit my daughter in Virginia, and as we were flying over the Grand Canyon, the pilot made the usual announcement that we were flying over the Grand Canyon, and every parent took their children to the windows of the plane so their children could “see” one of America’s most spectacular natural wonders.

And then it hit me. Most of these kids had never seen the Grand Canyon, or probably any of our other National Parks, other than looking out the window of an airplane. And that’s too bad.

Some of my fondest memories are family vacation “road trips”. The Grand Canyon, and all of the other memorable stops along the way. While the argument can be made that having a “Trees of Mystery” bumper sticker wired to the back of the car is annoying, it is still something we talk about, and remember fondly. Life is not about how fast we get there, it is about the memories we make along the way.

Maybe it’s time to slow down, take a deep breath, reconnect with our families, and make memories that last a lifetime.
