My kids , 11 and 8 have mixed reviews. They love Lola, and fight over who will sleep on top. We took a long, inexperienced trip from Seattle to San Diego this summer, without air conditioning, and tensions got as high as the temp. The kids got over it. The wife, not yet.

We did go on a one night outing with a bunch if other Westies, and they had a blast.

> It could be a long time. Our oldest girl’s first campout in the Westy was at 8 weeks old.  When she was 5 months old we took one though Europe for a month.  She does not remember a Westy NOT being part of her summer routine. Now she’s 15, and we also have a 9 and 11 year old. All three really look forward to our summer trips. In fact the 15 year old wants a 70's Westy for her first car, but I told her I want her to learn on something with airbags first. (Not to mention that I'm unconvinced that a bed-on-wheels is the most prudent choice for a high school teenager. Kinda sends the wrong message.☺ ) Maybe when she goes to college. I have no doubt a Westy is in her future at some point; all of her best childhood memories involve one. Besides I know where she can get parts cheap. :-)
