Why "Jones Family Buses"?

So those of you who we have not been in touch with lately are probably wondering why the blog is "Jones Family Buses". We have a new family hobby - Volkswagen Buses. Chris bought our 1st bus in February 2006 - a 1967 blue, 21-window, rag top, split-window bus. This has been great fun - better than new. It has new all-disk brakes, been lowered, safari windows.

In April, Chris drove it to a VW show in CA. This was part of our trip to LA. The bus is great. Sierra LOVES the bus. Honestly, how many 2 year olds know the difference between VW buses and bugs. Yes, she truly does.

This bus has brought so much fun and enjoyment, that we bought another - a 1966 camper, complete with the pop-up top. It is in pretty good condition. We are already planning a few family camping trips - when the weather improves, so August. (The last 3 weeks we have been having lovely October-type weather.)

Actually, according to Sierra, I am not part of this. She likes to point out "Daddy's Blue bus" and "Sierra's lellow bus". When I ask whick bus is mine, she informs me "No no, Mommy bus. Mommy car." Who knows, maybe someday I will be cool enough to have my own bus.

I will post a few pictures of the buses this weekend.
