RVing in the Eighties...

So earlier I posted about our RV trip as kids with the promise of some photos!  Well here we are starting out on our trip...My parents, Leslie and Geoff, my brother, Kyle and I with our family friends, Joyce and her three kids, Audrey, Charlie and Will.  By looking at this photo, I definitely think this is the middle of our trip as we all look a little worn out!




The previously mentioned, most memorable moment of our first rv trip, the magnets on our cabinets didn't work so well and every time we went around a corner, we had to hold the doors shut!



A quick stop at Colonial Williamsburg, to stamp out some bricks...



It must have been hot in Virginia...as I can't remember my dad ever relaxing like this before....could have been all the kids driving him crazy!


Audrey and I, in our preteen glory pretending we can drive too!

Disco Era Cross Country

Since I was talking about previous cross country trips already, I had to include a photo from one of my family's numerous trips. Growing up in a military meant moving every few years and our family always made the move into a vacation. If this photo is the trip I'm thinking it is, my parents had my uncle and his buddy (both fresh out of high school) drive our VW bug across the country with us. I'm not sure if that idea was wilder or if it was my handmade clothes. Gotta love the late '70s!

And NO, that is not the RV we want to take on our trip in 2010!
