So, I got to go to my favorite store this weekend, Cargo Largo! It's in Independence, MO so, if you are ever near there you need to go to this place. It is a totally random store with all kinds of things from all kinds of stores that look like they fell off the delivery truck and this store sells it for way discounted prices! (Most things are in perfect condition, some things have a little bit wrong with them).
This weekend, I got a pair of Chaco Yampa Sandals for $35! I've been wearing them non-stop. I'm very proud of them.
Next, we found a nice faucet for our bathroom to replace the old one that never quite worked right (the handle was really hard to turn) for $15.
Lastly, we found a queen size memory foam mattress for $150 that we will use as our bed in the Airstream! The mattress came from QVC, why it ended up at Cargo Largo I'm not sure.
Sorry for bragging about these deals I found but I was pumped about them!
Besides shopping, Matt and I polished the Airstream some more, took naps (glorious!), I read, did laundry, and it rained for the first time in weeks which helped cool things off!
I also made 1 minute chocolate cake, it is not too bad for you and tastes amazing! I was having a sweet tooth attack Sunday night so, I went over to this amazing blog for something to satisfy my needs! It totally did the trick.
This weekend felt long which is always good. Now for another week, do
you have anything exciting coming up? Have a good Monday, I can't wait
to watch the Bachelorette Monday night!
Our something BIG is a beautiful 31 foot 1976 Airstream Sovereign!
Matt and I are so excited about our Airstream! The plan is to gut it and renovate it to fit our style!
We have been wanting a big project to work on since about September of 2010. A lot of things came to mind that we could work on. As we spent many cold winter nights in front of our computers, we stumbled across the world of Airstreams and our dream to own one and pimp it out was born!
We have been scouring Craigslist and Ebay for a few months looking for our Airstream and about 2 weeks ago, found just the right one! We had a list of criteria and this one fit everything we were looking for-
Center Bath/rear bedroom
Good bones (no major dents or issues with the frame that we couldn't fix)
31 footer ideally made in the 1970's
Working A/C was a plus
No broken Windows
A working fridge was a plus
3 awnings still in good shape was a major plus
towable!
well cared for by the previous owners
and the price was right!
We traveled to Carlock, Illinois to pick her up this weekend and enjoyed camping at Sangchris Lake State Park on Saturday night.
We towed her home nice and slow on Sunday with no issues, thank the Lord.
If you are interested in the renovation process we are going to launch a blog all about our Airstream renovation soon. I'll post the link once we have it up and running!
We have already experienced the excitement that surrounds the Airstream community! People that own an Airstream are so proud and excited about their rig. At the state park, we met another guy that had purchased his 1975 Airstream 2 months ago. We showed him around our rig and he showed us his. We were so excited to compare Airstreams and get ideas from one another.
On the journey home on Sunday, we drove by 3 other Airstreams on the highway. Each one waved and flashed their lights at us to show us some Airstream love.
Matt and I keep saying to each other, I can't believe we actually did it! We talked for months about wanting an Airstream, have been in several, and had even started planning how we would re-do ours.
It feels really good to follow through with our dream plans and make them a reality.
