Maiden Voyage

Where: Sunbury/Columbus North KOA - Sites 618, 619 

When: September 30 - October 2, 2022

This was the trip we've been waiting over a year for!  The maiden voyage with both of our own Airstreams!  

We planned this trip while we were sitting in a campground the weekend prior. Susan and Erich had just made an offer on an airstream that was accepted by the seller.  There was a lot to do in only a week's time to get this trip to happen, but in the end the cards were in their favor and the camper was theirs!

Friday, after work and school, we arrived at the storage unit to hook up and caravan to the campground.  The location is perfect for a short weekend trip.

When we arrived at the campground we were surprised and excited to check in and get one of the two sets of buddy sites in the park.  At booking, we assumed we would be in the buddy site pair in the new area where there are few trees, but at check in we were give the pair in the "Boondock" part of the park that had mature trees and was more secluded from the rest of the park.  

We set up the sites and decorated a little for Halloween which was happening that weekend in the campground. Cornstalks, haybales, and some lawn decorations added a festive touch.

Saturday was a day full of activities! Crafts, Candy Bingo, Costume Contest, Trick or Treating, and a dance party had us going all day.

In between the activities, Susan skillfully put the Big Red Numbers on our campers to make us official!  Consecutive numbers 17175 and 17176 are our numbers, each have significant meaning to us and our story.

At the costume contest American Gladiator Ice won the costume contest for her age group and Thelma and Louise won the costume contest for the adult age group! Such fun!!  We went trick or treating in the park and had a great time in our makeshift Thunderbird!

Sunday was time to pack up and head out.  We spent our winnings from the costume contest in the camp store and got a disco ball for future campsite dance parties. We took some photos of the airstreams together with their beautiful new red numbers.

If you ever see 17175 and 17176 on the highway, be sure to flash your headlights and wave!  We're always looking to see other airstreams on our travels.
