It's the end of the world as we know it
It was just about one year ago that we rented an RV for the weekend and went camping. The experience was everything Marty had hoped for, and confirmed all of my fears. In the past year, the conversation has continued. I'm paraphrasing here, but in general it went something like this:
Marty: Wouldn't an RV be awesome?
Me: No.
Marty: The kids would love it. I totally think we should do it.
Me: No.
Marty: I'm almost 40, I feel like I need to get out there and have some fun. Bond with my family.
Me: Bond here. Or at a hotel.
Marty: I've always wanted a camper.
Me: No.
Marty: You wouldn't have to go in it almost ever. I could take the kids for a weekend up to the land and let you have a little time to yourself once in awhile.
Me: Okay then.
So, tonight, here's the view in our driveway:
To appease me, Marty has agreed to put an air freshener in the camper that smells like herbs and not old toilet. He's agreed to let me pick out the party lights to hang on the awning, and has also agreed that I don't have to go to RV parks.
And, the best part is that it comes with a built-in dance floor which will be awesome for when the kids grow up and take it down to Panama City Beach for Spring Break.

The look on Martin's face (AND Marty's) is priceless. Could you have made them any happier? I can't wait to hear the tales from the RV trips.

Is this a joke?

Well, I don't actually think that Marty would let the kids host a Spring Break party in the camper. But everything other than that is TRUE.

I distinctly remember suggesting a campfire in the back yard to roast marshmellows and hotdogs when you went away last year. Weekend get aways involve should involve SPAS!! I hope you let Marty take full advantage of bonding with Martin and Sophie and letting you have some time to yourself. You deserve it!

Oh man...Dave is always on me about getting a camper. Or an RV. Seriously. And the people that lived here before us had one and had a special little driveway installed just for their RV, so Dave thinks it's fate and that we should go out and get one RIGHT NOW! Because we have money to burn!
I'm not budging though. We are NOT getting a camper.

Oh no, you said the magic words (we're not getting one) which means that now it will happen. I KNOW. I did put my foot down on the special driveway, which hopefully doesn't mean that the cement guy is on his way over.

I just noticed the flying pigs when I checked back to see if this really was a joke on us all. This is hilarious!
