Bruce's Magic Bus

Our friend Bruce is currently crossing the country in what we have termed, "The Bus," because that's what the toddler calls it.

Lucky bastard.

It's the coolest thing you've ever seen inside, and this coming from a suburban Jew whose willingness to camp extends as far as getting into the large Hobitat demo tent at the REI store. Even a moron like me could "camp" in this thing. It has a full kitchen, flat screen TV, full bathroom with shower and it's small (not like a giant, scary tour bus), but stylish. Look at that kitchen! I smell breakfast!

There's a part of me that really loves the idea of roughing it, learning how to do all the basics without a permanent shelter. It was fun looking through the REI store, looking at microfiber towels and blow up camp beds and how to cook outside. But if you really want to keep moving, if you enjoy being clean and you want to take a small, squirmy child on the road, this is it, baby. Can you imagine how many naps you could extract in a large moving vehicle boasting roughly 5 places a little kid could sleep?

Bruce is leaving The Bus on the East Coast for the summer and flying back when he's done goofing around. The toddler misses Bruce, but she also misses The Bus. A lot. She asks after both of them every day.

Stumble It!
