and then there were Four!!!

It started with a simple "hey, are you going to Alumapalooza?" and quickly became a reality for not one but four friends.  Jackson Center OH....here we come!

A little background for those of you joining us on our grand adventure:  

What's an Alumapalooza?  The third annual gathering of 100 Airstreams...and a week filled with fun, new friends and incredible memories and Why Jackson Center (JC) OH?  Because that's the headquarters (or Mothership) for Airstream, Inc.  We can't wait to tour the factory...just think, all of those bright, shiny objects!!!  Who are these Chics?  We live in Oregon, we all own an Airstream trailer and we are going to have a blast!!!

Before we could even begin to answer all of the really important questions like "should I bring my own pillows?", "what are we going to do about food?" and, most importantly, "where are we going to go ....you know, poo?" we had to first plan our route.  Of course that entailed a sleepover @ Lucy's house!!

With the men in the other room tryin to plan their "man-venture"...cuz they were so not invited to join our road trip....Lucy, Ethel and I (Thelma) pulled out our laptops and began mapping our course.  Our strategy is to take a more leisurely, scenic route on the way to JC and then three of us will head home while Louise continues her journey eastward.

We're going to spend the night with friends in Idaho and enjoy some beautiful scenery (think Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands)...staying at a KOA here and there and yup, a hotel in Peoria the night before we roll into JC where we can shower, and whatever else we need to do ;), before making our grand entrance!!

Glad you could join us on our Chic Roadtrip!!

Cheers - 

Thelma, Louise, Lucy & Ethel
