Good-Bye, Homer; Hello, Unnamed Trailer

In my last post I alluded to us buying something in addition to a birdhouse for Steve's birthday.

That thing was an Airstream.

We had Homer on the market for a couple months without any bites except for a couple in Huntington Beach who decided not to look at it, and a guy in Garden Grove who wanted to trade us for a mobile home.

Homer wasn't getting any younger and was only losing value, so we decided to trade him in for something smaller that we could actually USE. We took a bit of a hit on the deal, of course, but I think it will ultimately be worth it.

And although I'm sad to see Homer go, my anxiety surrounding him has gone, too.

Obviously we won't be full-timing in the yet-to-be-named Airstream. If/when we do decide to full-time in a couple years we'll either trade it in or go park it somewhere and get something else in the meantime. I really have no idea.

But for now, we're planning our first camping trip for next month, and I truly can't wait!

Here are some photos. I only had my phone with me, so the quality isn't great.

The dinette, which converts into a bed:


The couch, which also converts into a bed:


Most of the kitchen:


The bathroom door, which I think is just SO cool-looking:


And part of the bedroom. It was really hard to get a photo in here:


Finally, one of the brake lights on the outside, just because I like the shape:
