Happy Victoria Day everyone! I’m spending the day at home catching up on projects on my patio. Hopefully I get done early and have a little time to kick back and enjoy the patio. But for the past two days I was out enjoying mother nature in the heart of it with a few girlfriends. We rented a yurt in at Charleston Lake Provincial Park. It was beautiful! I hadn’t been to a provincial park in ages and forgot how nice and well kept they are.
It was also my first time staying in yurt. And don’t get me wrong, I loved the yurt! It was super spacious, clean and I can’t complain about having a real bed, a deck with some of the best adirondack chairs on it & a BBQ. But I became quite enamoured by our neighbours across the street and their caravan (it would have been a lot better though if they had something like these Caravan Annexes though, to just give them a bit more space). However, I know that if I had one of them big old things I’d have to go to somewhere like One Sure Insurance to get it covered in case anything happened to it. Also, if we had wanting to get a larger caravan or even upgrade and get a motorhome, we’d have to go out and look for a loan for a motorhome from Auto Finance Online which would be an added expense to our weekend away! For some reason I think it was a little nostalgic because I have memories of camping with our small expandable trailer as a child.
It made me fascinated with the idea of owning a vintage style (of course) caravan and all the interesting places you could take it for different adventures or peaceful getaways.

Talk about the ultimate DIY renovation project. The only thing stopping me from hunting down one of these charming sleeping nooks and giving it a makeover is the fact that I live in a condo an don’t have anywhere to park it.
Maybe it will be a future project. In my research I came across a site called Sisters on the Fly. Their tagline is “we have more fun than anyone”. The website could use a little makeover but I couldn’t love the concept more. It’s a community of women who love adventure, traveling by caravan and enjoy the outdoors. Their mission statement is “Offering empowerment and sisterhood through exceptional outdoor adventures.” They also have something called Cowgirl Bootcamp. Hello! Retirement planning done.

Love the photos! They remind me of this mobile coffee truck that jets around the GTA: !/Welcome_Aboard
Too cute!
@Jaime – I haven’t seen that truck before. Love it though.
