My husband and I are both 40-something, but have a 3 year old so feel pretty young (hanging out at Disneyland and Chuck E. Cheese will do that to you!) We tend to hang out with people of all ages (20's-70's)-let me tell you, I know some 60-70 year olds that are way more "young" and "fun" and "cool" (and can swim/hike/bike under the table) many of my sedentary 20-something cousins in Eastern MT where I grew up! So I am a firm believer that age is all a state of mind!
We're out here on the "Left Coast" and would love to find a 60's/early 70's small (16-20 ft.) Airstream to fix up. We would take a new one if it was in our price range of around $5,000 too (ha, ha) It would then be taken to all of the coolest places, like the Burningman Festival, The Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Jackson Hole,WY where I used to live, the High Sierra Music Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Moab, Bryce Canyon/ Glacier/ Rocky mountain/ Yosemite /Sequoia/ Crater Lakes/ Olympia/ Yellowstone National Parks etc. in what spare time we can scare up (we manage to do it a lot!). Rallies sound like a lot of fun too-especially in some gorgeous location previously mentioned!
Tent camping kind of loses it's charm once you have a baby...especially in the rain! We tried the vintage pop-up thing, but it takes the 2 of us 20 min. or so to set that up and during that time our now 3 year old is performing death-defying stunts while we are otherwise occupied!
