A couple of days ago we started noticing vintage VW buses everywhere. At our campground, on the roads, driving, camping, being towed.. It turned out there was a big VW Bulli Brigade in St. Petersburg this Saturday. So cool. Of course we had to go check them out!
We've always thought it would be neat to tow a silver VW bus behind our Airstream motorhome - and it actually would be one of the few vehicles that could fit our large family, too. Of course, ours wouldn't be able to have a table and chairs in it, ours would be filled with benches to sit on, lol.
Our current budget might be able to accommodate one of these vintage ones. Maybe.
They sure are funky and fun.
When I was about seventeen years old (and a brand new Christian), we had a youth group drive to northern Italy from Finland in one of these orange VW buses to help out the local church. That trip required a lot of faith... from all the mothers ;-)
I think the drive went fine, although I remember everybody passing us on the German autobahns, and all of us pretty much gagging our way through the long Swiss tunnels as there was no way to block the fumes from coming in.
Good times, good times.
It would be neat to know how many VW buses were at this Bulli Brigade. A hundred? Maybe even more. Most were decorated, too, with all kinds of vintage items.
My little nephews would have LOVED being at this event. In fact, I think all boys in our family were loving it, too. The girls weren't quite as impressed.
We were told the Big Event is in Lakeland, Florida, in March. Meet ya'll there?
Pst... Did you want to go over here to vote for our blog today? Thanks so much :-*

Lauantaina kävimme ihailemassa näitä kaunokaisia. Muistojen tietä sai taas kulkea, kun teininä matkustin oranssilla VW bussilla Suomesta Italiaan.
Oikein hyvää Isänpäivää Suomeen, vähän myöhässä...
Ja muistattehan äänestää blogia täällä, kiitos :-*
Lot of faith.... :) ! But I remember, you told, you need to put all your praying to work during the trip. And when I now think just that trip, it was pure God's miracle that you catch Italy. Thank you Jesus!
