Once upon a time, in my dreams..

.. I had my very own vintage turquoise Shasta trailer to call my own, and I drove all across the Americas in it!



 Oh, how I wish!

That would be the perfect little spring restoration project! We were looking into buying one online this past fall, and came very close, unfortunately some lucky person beat us to it! I guess that one wasn't meant to be.. but I'm not giving up on my dream!

While doing some online research about vintage trailers, I stumbled upon the most amazing place: The Shady Dell campground in Bisbee, Arizona. It is a campground of all vintage fully restored aluminum trailers from the 1940's-1960's, complete with plastic flamingos perched on the astroturf lawn! They have a variety of different trailers which are all decorated differently, and you get to choose which one you would like to stay in. They come complete with little kitchenettes, refrigerators, and dishes so you can make your own meals! How perfect is that? And the best part about this discovery is that my parents live in Arizona and I am planning to go down there and visit them in less than a month, so I will get to experience this campground first hand! I have never been so excited about a vacation in my entire life!

So very Americana kitsch.  I am in love.
