Pismo or Bust.....and, I do mean Bust!!!!

All the preparation.....the anticipation......Our maiden voyage in our Fireball!!!

The Vintage Trailer rally in Pismo Beach Ca :)
Just arrived and getting ready to dive into..Splash Cafe's, Famous clam chowder....
Sophee-a knows we will share....
Delicious!!!!.....
headed off to bowl before we check in.......
Doesn't the Fireball look great painted....look on my sidebar...she used to have a blue stripe!
View from the front window......we got her all spruced up for Saturday's Open House. I just threw some things together......for our trial run.
Our Couch/bed......had to bring Phinneas and his wife.....and their Pink poodle~LOL
The Kitchen
The Dinette
Outside view


This is us headed for home on Sunday......I have tons of pics from the rally that I want to share but I had to share our story first......never a dull moment with us...last trip to the beach......our luggage fell off the top and was all over the highway......items were on the highway this time too...but it was not our luggage!!!!!
OOps.....our window blew out......3rd time on this window.....come to find out...it was only siliconed in...it is missing the bracket that actually holds the glass in place.
OMG.....WHERE IS OUR TRAILER DOOOR!!!!!! Oh yes friends...this happened just outside of Paso Robles......Thank goodness there were no accidents......we did not hit anything......the force of the window blowing...all the wind....50 mile an hour speed......caused to much pressure in the cabin..and POOF....there she blows!!!!! At least that is all we can figure......
So forgive me for not showing all the other cool trailers yet......our top priority is to somehow get our trailer back to Fresno.
She is sittting in a tow yard(Paso Robles) for the price of $55 a day...we only pay $38 to store her all month, in Clovis!
Look...hubby found some parts..looks like our door...BOO HOO!!!!! 
Lucy and Dezi...we have you beat on misadventures in a trailer......we were locked in our first night...then we dropped our keys(out the door window) and we had to call for our neighbor trailerites to let us out!!
We followed the tow truck...(we just kept her hitched to us)an hour drive back to Paso Robles..we took the back roads~ and the LONG way to prevent any accidents..in case more parts started flying...there is also a large tear and some of the back off too. Betty..I did not lose one curtain and all my pillows were there too...go figure?!

Now..I need to recover....and try to figure out how we are going to fix this......oh we have some money set aside.....Hubby informed me that he wanted to surprise me on my 4oth.....with a trip to Paris and Sicily.....he has been saving!!! Whats a girl to do???? Vintage trailer or Paris?
See you in a few days....with an update and some fun trailer pics :)
