Like a Virgin

every RV needs a mascot. something to hang in the window or tie outside the door or drag behind it that sets it a part from the other RVs.  mostly because every rv looks strikingly similar. they all have some tone of tan or brown as part of the motif and perhaps a little forest or hunter green.  apparently everyone that rvs needs to feel a connection to nature while driving.

our RV follows suit in the color category and takes it a step further with a decal saying "Spirit" in italics on the outside.  I am pretty sure every RV has an italic word written on the outside somewhere.  of course we couldn't come up with a creative name for our RV so we settled on..."Spirit"...

so to set Spirit apart from all the other RVs out there and to show our dedication to latin american culture (jana is a huge mexican food fan) we, and by we i mean, I decided on the Virgin Mary.

not only does she have arms that move in every direction (chris enjoys making her arms look as though she is signally a touchdown), but she also looks a little like jesus.  weird i know, but for some reason if you squint, you can see both mother and child.  i really wish now that i would have gotten the whole set of biblical action figures including Moses, St. Peter and the Angel Gabriel.  then we could have put one on every door of the RV...including the emergency exit.

oh. and yes. we did match the zip tie color to her robe.

and yes she dances.

and no. she really serves no purpose.
