come along on a Vintage Vacation!

Hey, Sweet Hearts...

Ya wanna come along on a Vintage Vacation with us?

I thought you might, climb on in & let's get outta here!!

Driving down Route 66, listening to the

Rat Pack on the radio,

we've come across the coolest motel in town.

If we weren't towing our trailer behind us,

we just may have had to stay a night or two in a tee pee!

But who needs a tee pee when we have a

1960 Deluxe Pathfinder?

We've got everything we need in a mere 17 ft.

{Do you see that little door in the back? That's where our porcelain toilet is, only the best for my friends!}

Finally, we've arrived at our destination...

that didn't take too long, right!

Isn't she a jewel? Think of the stories she could tell us of all the places she's traveled to
and the happy family's that laughed inside her walls.

How rude of me...come on in & let's get comfortable!

Let me turn on the transistor radio.
Hey, how bout a cuppa joe or an ice cold soda?

There's nothing like drinking an icy cola while you're setting up camp.

Even though we're dry camping, we still have all the convenience's of home.
Thank God for generator's & hubby's that know how to do
'all that stuff'!

Time to put on our cowboy hats & venture to the outdoors.
I wonder what great views & vistas await us there?

Looking out the window it appears to be pretty darn hot & dry!
Hark en, I hear something calling to me.
Oh, that'd be our Corona's...
don't forget the limes!

Watch your step & close the screen behind you to keep those pesky flies out.

What's this??
We've stumbled upon an oasis...
right here in the Angeles National Forest high above Los Angeles,

a little piece of heaven!
It's the East Fork of the San Gabriel River
with it's white water...

& glimmering pools.

It's ancient rock...

& the lure of color.
{that's my man gold panning far off in the distance}

Wow, we're in for a treat...get your camera out!
It's the mythical water nymph, kai.

Look how he floats & hovers above the water's edge.

Of all the water nymph's
kai's the hardest to catch,
cuz he blows in like a summer breeze.

See how both of his arms are wrapped in shimmering dragonfly wings
& he skims the water on his tame angel fish.

Here on the water,
he is master of all he can see...

above & below the crystal clear waters.

What a lucky shot of the spry water nymph
unaware of our presence.
He plays & frolics
without a care in the world.
Simple Joy,
that's the true secret of happiness!

kai seems to have befriended the man who searches for the
golden treasures that the earth might reveal.
They must be kindred spirits,
one with the sparkling water...
How poetic is it that in the middle of our campground,
'a river runs through it'!

I'm so glad you came along on our
Vintage Vacation with us
& were able to enjoy our many adventures in
the back woods of LA! lol
Until we meet again sweet friends,
Happy Trails to You!

XOXO
