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.

adirondacks
We just got back from a way-too-short trip to the Adirondacks. What can I say, we LOVE the Adirondacks. Especially in the fall. The weather could not have been more perfect - we were lucky, as it could have been much colder than it was.
We stayed at an old Adirondack great camp called White Pines. The lake was so beautiful and quiet. Michael would have liked to take Colt canoeing, the unofficial sport of the region. I think God created moms to save boys and daddies from themselves. As it was, we switched out and didn't go far. No need, though, it was perfectly pretty right where we were.
Colt is just barely old enough for his new backpack carrier. He loves it! He didn't pull my hair nearly as much as I expected. Too busy enjoying the view from way up there. This was at a very charming farmer's market in Old Forge. Farmer's markets are one of my favorite leisure activities but not the most practical - getting home the big Thanksgiving cornucopia that I bought was not easy.
One of Colt's new skills - not to be outdone by his mom - is putting his foot in his mouth.
I managed to get up early one morning (well, I have Colt to thank for that) and found the lake covered in a low-hanging mist with a single loon fishing for breakfast. I have not seen a loon in a long time. Their ethereal calls at dawn and dusk was one of my favorite sounds of our Minnesota vacations of yore.
I adore Adirondack design sensibilities.
This is one of two boathouses at the camp. White Pines Camp was President Calvin Coolidge's summer White House in 1926. I think it was a pretty good choice.
What else could you need?

I was just looking at the photo of you and Colt when Aidan walked up. I said, "Who's that?" He said, "Maum. Baby."
These are beautiful photos. I especially love the flare in the boathouse photo.

Just thought I'd stop by to see what you guys have been up to. Looks like you've been having a lot of fun. Love the photos...especially the Adirondacks. How beautiful! Colt sure is getting bigger and cuter by the minute. Love the photo of him eating his foot. Too cute. Take care y'all
