Review of National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) by Paula K — 13 Feb 2009

[font=Fixedsys]Thought I would add a story to this movie. The Movie was filmed in part of Colorado, Pueblo in fact. My then husband and I used to live there when we were children.[/font].

[font=Fixedsys][/font].

[font=Fixedsys]Well, it was in this movie, I found out for sure my husband was cheating on me. [/font].

[font=Fixedsys][/font].

[font=Fixedsys]The scene where Chevy and Beverly were standing in front of a yellow motel, there parked behind them is a 1971 Blue Chevy pickup and camper...yep you guessed it. That pickup and Camper belonged to my husband.[/font].

[font=Fixedsys][/font].

[font=Fixedsys]He claimed he went fishing that weekend, gonna drown some worms. Now I know the exact location of that motel, growing up in that town, and I could recognized that truck anywhere, believe me it is very distinct. [/font].

[font=Fixedsys][/font].

[font=Fixedsys]By the way, once the shock of finding out about my wayward husband had passed, and I had lost 230 lbs of useless weight, (I divorced him) I love this movie. [/font].

[font=Fixedsys][/font].

[font=Fixedsys]Now I just wanted to add this story as trivia for the movie. The Blue truck and camper at the Coronado Motel...[/font].

[font=Fixedsys]Cheers everyone![/font].
