wish list for the brown pelican

this photo makes me laugh, thats our van parked in the middle there, i went for a surf, after being parked alone in the feild, and a few hours later when i came back BAMM surrounded by the whole vancouver vanagon club on their may long weekend as they call it, i guesss they wanted to be friends, and yes there was a lot of van drooling and admiration peeking.

i love this shot of the van all opened up parked in the sand bowl, the kids inside eating little james island in the back ground, stowes saab tucked behind us, so summery.

last week Hot Mike and i were discussing all the things we need to do to our vans before we head south to Santa Cruz for Toby's big day, and wow the list of things i need to do with the van incredible so if you haven't died of boredom yet here it is;
