"The maiden voyage of a ship, aircraft or other craft," (such as a travel trailer), "is the first journey made by the craft after shakedown. Shakedown is a period of testing or a trial journey undergone by a ship, aircraft or other craft and its crew before being declared operational. A number of traditions and superstitions are associated with a maiden voyage."
I decided to stop there with quoting Wikipedia's definition of maiden voyage. They continued to talk about notable ones that ended in disaster and I didn't think that we needed to go there.
I dont' know what our traditions will be with Frita, but it certainly has been fun. Enjoy the pics!
Our first trip was to Hocking Hills outside of Athens, OH. Athens is Colleen's old stomping ground and she was planning a trip to Athens for a 'visit' (I'll get back to that later) and we decided to drop in. What a perfect excuse to go camping and try out the new trailer! Trish, my friend from school, and her dog Bailey ventured out with me on this maiden voyage. Denise joined us on Saturday and stayed through Sunday with us. We had a blast!
Colleen and her friend 'Matt' joined us on Saturday too!
Dinner at camp. We had tacos!
Colleen gave dinner a thumbs up!
Hey - how did I get stuck doing dishes???
Okay - here's the real reason Colleen went to Athens. She received a Distinguished Alumni award that weekend!!! Every five years, the College of Health and Human Services honors a select group of its alumni whose success in their fields and service to the College has set them apart. Colleen was one of those honored - but she kind of failed to tell her sisters. As she said, it was no big deal. I think it is Peazy - you rock!!!
