What a full big day! With so many interesting opportunities to pursue today, I was torn between teaching our morning yoga class vs attending the SWAP Meet (think large flea market / garage sale, oriented towards RVers). slaDE was happy to lead the morning class through an hour of breathing and stretching. He even made…
Alumapalooza 2011 – Day 5: Following the rivet master team contest, slaDE and I taught a kids yoga class that was even better attended and outstanding than the first one! slaDE is an incredible story teller, and weaved a circus story that had the children laughing, attentive and engaged for a full hour. It was…
As promised, here are the notes from our Healthy Living seminar at Alumapalooza 2011. We had such a great time at the seminar, offering tidbits on healthy lifestyle choices one can make (which we personally try to live by in our daily lives). I truly hope that you find some useful information here (Airstreamers,…
With very little sleep and a lack of desired preparation for today’s ‘Healthy Living on the Road’ workshop, I was running on pure adrenaline in addition to being a wee bit nervous about standing up teaching about what I deem healthy choices in my life. slaDE was laid back and open to me being the commander to…
To start the day off brilliantly, we decided that I’d offer to make Vita-Mix smoothies (in small sample cups — recipe Day #1 is published at the end of the post) for each of the students that turned up to class. I’ve always been an adamant believer in a hearty nutritious breakfast, and with the…
Day One officially began yesterday with the stream of Airstream die-hards starting to trickle in, arriving from all corners of North America (with California potentially being the farthest attendees). Today on ‘Day Two’ slaDE and I kicked off the event with our early morning yoga class in the big top tent. Much to our surprise, the…
Alumapalooza 2011: The benefits of arriving a day early at a rally is to see the evolving and birthing of the event. However, Alumapalooza isn’t just any Airstream gathering. I can personally attest to this statement with this being our 2nd year of attendance here in Jackson Center. There is a magic behind the flurry…
Relaxing …. breathing …. settling in …. Airstreaming …. Alumapaloozing I love this poem posted by Tom Nugler in the Airstream AirForums. It pretty much sums up the whole experience here in Jackson Center: Long driving, Heat scorching, Friends meeting, Sun burning, Nights cooling, Seminar taking, Winds blowing, Fire breathing, Goodie buying, Factory touring, Cake cooking,…
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep or the warm molasses sunshiny spring day, but readying the Airstream seemed to take forever and a day. We started mid-morning, and I perpetually caught myself in a time lag of sorts (such as feeling like it should have been 11pm, not 11am), stumbling through the waking hours,…
Saturday. The weekend! Most people are winding down, relaxing and settling into a comfortable groove. Me, today I’m revving up for the big finish. Tomorrow morning was our designated departure time for hitching up the Airstream, meeting up with Richie, our nephew, for brunch before making our way to Ohio for Alumapalooza 2011. For me,…
