Aishling the AIrstream: Update No. 037

 
 We did a quick overnight in Oxford, AL 
on the way home from Chewacla 
to see a group we'd found on the internets...
- Leonid & Friends -
They were fun to see - but who knew they were Russian?!
And while the band was great[!] 
some of the other got lost [just a bit] in translation.
 
We stayed at the Good Sam Park, right off the interstate, 
but also just a few miles from the venue downtown...
From their website: "Good Sam RV Park adjacent to Camping World.
Nice long pull-thru spaces for overnighters, playground and pavilion. Beautiful shady sites & also pull-thru sites with no trees. Only minutes from Camping World with a easy walk trail directly from the campground."
It's basically just a parking lot - but has a good bath house and is close to anything you need. Great for a quick overnight - and we may be back....
 
Since there's not much more to share about this stop, 
I thought I'd share some inside photos of Aishling, our Airstream - 
Photos were taken when she was ready for Open House -
  
This our living area - 
Yes I added lots of pillows for COLOR, but also for back support. 
We're not getting any younger....
The yellow hassock fan double as a foot rest -
 And we LOVE having a table / dining area!
[The art covers our TV - ]
The oven to the right is both microwave and convection - and now that I'm used to it 
- I use it all the time! 
I really do LOVE  the little kitchen area - it changes all the time, but always has the coffee pot and an electric skillet out bc I don't love cooking with gas inside the trailer... The bulletin board covers a wonky little built-in spice shelf.
There's storage overhead and these containers keep our 
drink needs labeled and divided nicely.
The pantry is just past the fridge - and we've rotated through some storage ideas... Right now, we think these slide-out drawers from Aldi are working nicely. The white basket holds breads, cereals, and snacks...

The shower is in the 'hall' to the right - 
And may I just say how much I'm enjoying having a real shower again?
And those micro-fiber quick dry towels are THE BOMB.
The bathroom is on the left and we have plenty of room in there as well -  The decorations are a nod to The Rocket City with prints, an astronaut toothbrush holder, mid century soap dish, planet cup, etc.
I know many people hate the mirrors in here [it's A LOT] but I kinda think it helps to brighten it up a bit...
And then our bedroom - I think it seems a bit tighter without the twin beds - but, omgoodness, we love our queen bed.

 There's storage above and on each side the side where you can hang clothes... right now I kinda like this hanging shelf and luggage cubes to keep things sorted -

And we each have a cubbies near our pillows for us to use for our phones, books, etc.
We often laugh about how our wants / desires/ 'tastes' change...because a few years ago we walked through an airstream that was shiny bright inside and thought, 
'WE WILL NEVER WANT THAT' - and yet.... Here we are. LOVING IT.
We love how Christopher C. Deam upgraded the airstream from a woodsy cabin look to a sleek modern look inside that matches the outside.
Here's a link where you can learn more about how he got involved with airstream...
