When we sold the house I wanted to buy one indulgent thing. I have looked at tent trailers on KSL.com for months. The Monday before Memorial Day I found one and sent Shawn with the cash to get it. He called and said it was very clean and had a king and queen bed and I thot it was under priced by about $500. So if I hated it we can sale it . Anywho Shawn took it to the Father and So

Saturday night we went up the canyon 15 minutes from our house and Ill be darn if their were not camp sites still available on a Memorial Day weekend so we reserved one for after church Sunday. I made tin foil dinners packed a ton of blankets and the mancala game and off we went.

The mountains were green and the birds were singin to each

FUN! Some might say buying something that depreciates in value in not an investment but in your case I say otherwise. Money can't buy family memories but it can help create them. Good on ya.
ps You might consider bringing the trailer to the family reunion. You could call it the Sanity Sleeper and charge lot of money to use it.
Looks like so much fun. Can't wait!!!
Soooo fun! Please do bring the Sanity Sleeper for nap time! OH YAH!
That sounded like a blast. I love overnighters with some hobo dinners & gooey 1/5th eaten bags of marshmellows and dirty socks. Oh and fires and story time. I miss going up Logan Canyon on a whim and car camping. I'm glad you got a trailer, indulge yourselves in the finer things!
