Suggestions wanted...

Only 4 more days.....then USA, here we come!

We leave on Thursday to begin our 9 week cross-country trip. It is one of those things that's been on our bucket list for years and is finally coming true.

I would like to introduce you to _______?_________. She is a 38 ft. Holiday Rambler coach.  This will be our home-away-from-home for the next couple of months.
She's as big as a boat!

She's got 3 nice size pop-outs.  Makes for very nice living space inside.


Our dilemma is this:  What to call her?  With a trip of this length, this magnitude, this importance; it only seems right and fair that we give her a name.


So...we are taking suggestions!  Please send us any and all ideas. We will vote on them as a family and the lucky winner will win:


An all expense paid postcard from some random state we travel through!  :)  


Now, don't be shy about your suggestions.  We've already received several.  Everything from Bertha (sorry, that's my great-grandmother's name) to Lady Gaga.  Lucy, Lizzie, Babe, etc.


Conni got under here with the hose and cleaned out the storage space.  Ready to fill up!




 Today, we spent some time going through all our camping gear and choosing what goes with us.  Looked kinda like a yard sale for a little while!




Still lots to do.  But we're having a blast getting ready.  We will be taking our computer and blogging our trip.  That way, you can keep up with us and see what we're seeing.


Thanks for your input on names. Can't wait to see what we get!


Have a nice week, everyone!

  1. Hey if you decide to come anywhere near us, please stop in and say hello. We'd love to see you. We are really near the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Brown Bessie is my choice.

    Ideas from the Muraskins:
    Casarova (casa/home; rove/roam) (thought of Casarover as well but if it's a girl...)
    On the same lines: Casaroll (Rolling house not casserole)
    Also: Sacagawea, Meriwether, Buckboard, or Westward Ho!
    Have a great trip!
