Spring Break 2006

Nick and I decided to explore the town of Bryson City, NC. We thought we'd ride the train which starts there and goes various places. We walk up to the depot and realize the whistle we heard five minutes earlier was our train pulling away from the station.
We head downtown to do a little window shopping from long standing tradition we always check out the local real estate market. As teachers in a boarding school we live a hectic lifestyle, so when we get time off... look out! We dream big. We quickly check the first couple of realtor’s windows for interesting properties when we notice a silver trailer in a picture. We keep looking Airstream, 1/2 acre, good price, this is getting interesting. Having an old Airstream trailer in NC has always been a dream of ours. We frequent EBay daily for new listings, crane our necks at used RV lots for silver trailers, and screams during road trips "Airstream".
We decide to go in ask a few questions and meet Gene, a burly jolly "Santa Claus" looking man. As owner of Prudential realty he had to laugh when we told him what we were interested in. He showed us the property and we discovered that the "Airstream" was really a Spartan Royal Mansion. A forty foot beauty... well to make a long story short we bought her and come Summer we will start restoring and modernizing our very own Silver Palace!! So sit back grab a cup of coffee or your favorite adult beverage and join us as we share the trails and tribulations of bringing a dream to reality.
