about
- Flying Cloud is the model name of our 1963 Airstream... now at large (but often just parked) in the 38th state.

history
- Our Flying Cloud was built in Santa Fe Springs, California around 1962. Airstream manufactured the Flying Cloud model from 1950-1963, so this one was the end of the line.
- It was originally registered as #11229 in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, or so we have heard.
- We took over this blog along with the trailer from the previous owners. We are the Flying Cloud's fifth owners.

the old dominion
Yesterday I flew to DC for work, but last night I visited Shannon and Michaela in their brand new house in rural northern Virginia. I so love rural Virginia and the old farms and rolling hills, especially this time of year. I suppose it can't compare to Whidbey, but I thought the area near Shannon's house was lovely nonetheless. In fact I'm pretty sure I like it better than Shannon does at this point. But I think it will grow on her when the humidity finally gives up. Yesterday was also Shannon's birthday which gave all of us a great excuse to pig out on cake, ice cream and oreos. (Michaela approved of the super-sized yellow and blue grocery store frosting flowers.)
I miss DC but I miss the Virginia countryside more. Before there was the Flying Cloud and Colorado, there was the Virginia countryside in the Fall to happily occupy our weekends. We never got tired of the old houses, the farm stands, the pumpkin patches and the antique shops.
