Camping on the streets?

Thursday September 14. (Finally able to post the road trip there was no Internet).

We drove to Eaton Rapids Michigan to the Urban Air event. This is an unique urban camping events that occurs every year. This event attracts people with Airstream's from all states.  The event helps small town America by lining the main streets in Airstream's, supporting the local businesses and giving to the local community center.


This event last all weekend.  We arrived around 8 pm, and was escorted to our spot. They have an itinerary for each day filled with a variety of things to do.


Friday September 15th. 
 Michael and I went to explore as many Airstream's as we could. I saw so many different Airstream's, and met so many wonderful people and got a chance here their stories. After doing a lot of walking around and meeting new people we went to dinner at this great restaurant, I just wish I could remember the name.
Saturday September 16th.
After breakfast we loaded on a small bus and went to Millers Farm. This place reminds me of a small scale Greenfield Village. We met the people that work hard to restore and maintain the charm of the city's past. On the site is the 100 year old school, church and Ice-cream store, and much more. Here are a few pictures. Too many to show case.






We went on a house tour. These homes are restored and just look amazing. You could see the joy in the owners faces as they gave us a tour. Sorry no pictures I was too busy looking at all the beauty. Later that night there was a spaghetti dinner where all the money goes to the local charity.   This gives us another chance to socialize and relax. After the dinner we went to the  park were we watched a movie under the stars. Chad Carlson the event planner even surprised us with some popcorn and drinks. He is the best, we purchased our Airstream from him in Grand Rapids at Woodland Travel Center.
This was a great three days and I can not wait until next year. Chad is trying to arrange two events one in Eaton Rapids and one in Indiana.
Well on Sunday we headed to Ludington State Park.
