Camping and TD pics..





































Our First Outting in our TD....


So we finally got the new Tear Drop and decided to take it out for maiden voyage this last weekend. Not wanting to go too far from home on our first trip, we decide to just go up North a bit to Bartlett Lake. I'm not a big fan of lake camping due to all the trash that tends to flock there. It never seems to matter how nice the lake is, something about free large bodies of water attracts the epitome of white trash, beer drinking drunken fools. And yet, there we were...

The camping trip was fun. Easy set up..Pull in, detach the TD, open up the back, display our lei and Tiki Bar sign, set out the chairs and we're ready for camping!
The evening was a lot of fun. Went for a swim in the lake while it was still hot out, had some drinks by the water and watched the sunset. Around sunset we went up to our Tiki Drop and built a nice fire to continue our evening. Listened to some nice music, chatted, watched the stars...entertained visits from one of the little girls camping next door (who by the way became my best friend. She was nine, her name was Audrey and she told me she thought I was REALLY cool!!!) It was a great evening. Stayed up later than I normally do, but once bedtime turned into the camper for a good nights sleep. It was way more comfy than expected. Riley didn't even growl at us once! (you know, taking all of his bed space and all)....
All was good other than at 4:00 the white trash camping neighbors decided to turn their car on and blast the stereo (they were camped down from us, but there car was by us). Apparently, standing outside their car with the keys in so you get the 'ding, ding ding' sound, along with the ghetto punk music blasting, was way more fun than being assholes at their camp spot. So, after a bit of that, then MJ getting up and requesting in a not so friendly voice to turn their car off (which they did andd apologized about a dozen times, but stood there yelling like punks till sun rise), needless to say we didn't get much rest after that. We tossed and turned till about 7 then got up, closed up the Tear and drove our tired, slightly hungover, asses home. The best part was we wanted Habenero's for breakfast...so we stopped on the way home, it was 9:40 and they didn't open till 10. We decided we should just wait, after all it was 9:45 am and chicken fajitas sounded damn good. However, I was sooo tired, I just wanted to lie down. So, we're in a parking lot in Scottsdale, at about 9:30 am, and I decide to go lie down in the back of the TD. I took Riley with me and we climb in. He's looking at me like "have you lost your bloody mind lady?"... "We're in a freakin parking lot for Christ Sake!!!". Then MJ comes to sit on the bed with the door open, then realizes she didn't take time to brush her teeth before we packed up, so of course, she pulls out a the pre-pasted disposable toothbrush from the toiletries container in the TD and proceeds to brush her teeth, while sitting in the TD, with the door open, in a parking lot, by a restaurant, in Scottsdale, on a Saturday morning..... We both started laughing so hard. We decided we had reached a new low and added a new level to the term 'trailer trash'. Perhaps we should have turned around and headed back to the lake....

I'll post the few we took camping soon, complete with Hulu Girl/Booby glass.
