Woo Hoo! Christmas in a tin can!

Ok, I know it's only August, but Patrick and I have just made arrangements to stay in an Airstream in the desert for Christmas! It's at Kate's Lazy Desert, owned by Kate Pierson of the B-52's! She also has a Lazy Meadow airstream camp in the Hudson Valley that I always wanted to stay in, but it was always booked.  At least in the desert we'll get to huddle around a hobo can when the sun goes down. I'll need to see if Pappy & Harriet's is open for Christmas Dinner, but if not, 'twill not be the first holiday dinner that has involved a gas station microwave. Wish I were joking about that.


(This also means that P. and I are spending cash money to stay in the only thing in California that's smaller than our apartment. I shouldn't be nearly as excited by this prospect as I am.)

Awesome! Do you know which Airstream you're getting? It looks like most of these do have kitchenettes, so the gas station microwave may not be necessary. They look beautifully refurbished. I've always loved Airstream trailers. The price is right and the setting is absolutely perfect. I envy you!

I can't believe I overlooked the kitchenettes part!!! LOL!! I am saved! If we can't eat at Pappy & Harriet's, I'll do something simple and painless like Christmas Burgers. :) I'm really excited-- Patrick has been so overwhelmed with work that we haven't done any real "California" things since he's been here. I'm really excited to go to Joshua Tree-- I've been down in that area twice so far, but once was in June and once was in September, and it was just too damn hot to be walking around in the desert.
