Well, after traveling through 24 states and over 11,000
miles in 3 months, we are back at our home base to settle down
and prepare for a new school year. We
were truly blessed on this trip over these past three months, and we thank God
for it all!
Besides spending time with family and friends, I asked the kids what their favorite parts were; and I was surprised at the variety of answers:
I think the kids get a school credit for "Geography" class! :)
Besides spending time with family and friends, I asked the kids what their favorite parts were; and I was surprised at the variety of answers:
College Girl: Sea
World
Eagle Boy: Naval Academy
Youngest Child: Grand Canyon and touching BOTH oceans
As for me, I particularly enjoyed the stress-free days and
just BEING with my hubby and children.
Life is too short, and the youngest kids will be grown up before we know it. I also asked Mechanic Man what his
favorite part of the trip was, and his response was "just making it safely down the bottom of Mesa Verde's long, switchback roads." That's a true mechanic ... safety first! :)
We all agreed that traveling in the motorhome was more
enjoyable than sitting in the truck and hauling the house around. When you think about it, where else can you
just hang out on the couch or at the table and be escorted around the
country? It really is the best way to
travel. In fact, we weren’t the only
ones doing so … many families were at the various national parks in motorhomes as
well. Many of the ones we noticed were
rentals. In fact, one motto captures
it all …
This journey has reached the end, and we look forward to the
plans God has for us in 2016 when we hit the road again as full-time RV'rs!
