We came full circle last month and returned home to Ohio. It’s a little bittersweet that our year long adventure is over. It was an amazing way to see the country. As Ben frequently points out, we never had to pack up our clothes, they just traveled with us in our dressers. The pain in the butt thing about vacations (at least for me) is the packing and unpacking. Well, and having to do the laundry too. But having to wash our clothes doesn’t change no matter where we are.
We saw so many amazing things on this trip. It challenged us in a lot of ways and everyone learned something new.
“So, what is next?,” a lot of people are asking us. I think Ben would still be traveling, as he has more of the wander bug than I do. However, with Will starting high school, I wanted him to have a great education and to have an experience of going to high school and making new friends.
We will be in a “sticks and bricks” in Ohio until the kids are out of high school, and then Ben and I might get a Class C or a small A and travel. We’ve always liked to travel and see new things, but for now it will be out of a home base.
We still have a lot of posts that haven’t been written yet, lots of questions to answer, and tips to give, so more posts are coming! We’ve just been transitioning and I haven’t had a lot of time to post.
If you have any questions that you want to see answered, or would be interested is doing a guest post on your own travels, please send us a comment or shoot us an email at [email protected].
We will truly miss your updates, videos, pictures, recipes, travel tips, repair tips, local Costco inventories, weather updates, local animal and bird sightings, honest critiques and I could go on and on. 🙂 But what we will also miss most of all is the hope and positive outlook you expressed as a family. Making a dream come true and sharing your vision with all of us was a precious and honored gift. Covid kept us indoors these past months and in many ways kept our lives “on hold.” You gave us a unique peek” out of the window” and you carried us in your back pocket while so many of us were staying home. A year is a long time and we are so impressed by your faithful updates and willingness to live each day filled with faith, hope and love. Thank you so much and we know your family has created a bond that will last a lifetime and I have a feeling there are “more tricks up your sleeves.” Much love and gratitude
