When Mr Pretzel and I decided to put off Hawaii until next winter we started to brainstorm ideas for a minimoon in the Pacific Northwest. There is so much beautiful country to be explored right in our backyard. We toyed with the idea of a camping road trip and got very excited when our eyes landed on this image on the pages of Sunset Magazine.
Ohhhh shiny! Ummm yes, I want me one of those. Apparently Mini teardrop trailers scaled down and airstream-esque are a travel trend for 2010.
These trailers have sleeping accommodations for two and the back hatch opens to make a covered kitchen area for food prep. Bare-bones but more comfortable than a tent, Mr Pretzel and I thought that this would be a great opportunity for adventure and some snuggle time. Seriously, feast your eyes on this shiny retro goodness.
How enticing is the idea of camping but with the comfort of a bed? Usually not too enticing to me—I like old-fashioned camping in a tent. But for our honeymoon I can easily picture snuggling up next to the campfire with Mr Pretzel then retiring back to our “trailer” at bedtime. The images above are from Vacation in a Can, a teardrop trailer rental and sales outfit. I quickly checked out their website and was disappointed to find out that they are out of Southern California. Booo… Mr Pretzel and I won’t be hitching up the trailer anytime soon but we’ve been talking about investing in one after the wedding, though. So my shiny trailer dreams aren’t dead yet—just postponed.
Would you consider a camping adventure for your minimoon? Anyone else in love with the retro romance of these teardrop trailers?
sigh. I do LOVE an airstream and lol- the mini of airstreams isn’t bad either! I think this sounds like a fun mini-moon idea! 
This sound so much fun! FI has this old Lazy Daze camper from 1987. Some of our best memories are roadtripping across the US in it. Hope you can find another option for your minimoon.
I have wanted one of these for such a long time! There are teardrop clubs and they all meet yearly. I would love to be able to see how each one is decorated on the inside.
<3 Teardrop trailers!
Mr. P has been talking about taking me on a cross country for a long time. This would make for a perfectly sweet adventure!
OoooOoo! I do love this idea!! I love camping, but I won’t complain of extra comfort!
DUDE, those trailers are so awesome. Small, cushy, and adorable like a little baked potato!
This is such a cute idea and so retro! We are looking to do a “mini-moon” also as we won’t have the funds or the time (as will be finishing up my PhD) for a full on honeymoon. =) We were thinking about renting a little cabin somewhere to do some hiking and biking (future hubby loves off trail biking…)
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing-this is an awesome idea. The Co. is located in an ideal area, you can just hop on Hwy. 1 and pick any beach, and you are good to go!
Can’t wait to rent one of those for our next trip to Mendo.
Enjoy!!!!
i watched an entire program on airstreams and teardrop trailors. lol. it was fascinating!
I’m not a camper, but this to totally HOT! MIL and FIL Swan have a vintage looking tricked out Airstream, which is also pretty cool.

Mrs. Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
