THE END

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!  

 

 

 

 

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!
