Well, this is actually going to happen! Rick and I talked years ago about getting an RV and taking a year to see the states with the kids, but it didn't seem like something that could actually happen. Last July I sat on the beach alone quietly contemplating and made a list of 25 things I wanted to do in my life. Traveling the states in the rv came up again. I wondered if we could live in Hawaii on Rick's retirement, could we live in an RV for a year and travel?
We started making plans for our trip and then life happened. We didn't go straight from A to B as we'd planned, but God got us to "B" even with a detour. His plans are always better anyway. We moved from Hawaii to Texas via Washington state right before Christmas, several months earlier than we'd planned. Life was busy with homeschooling and helping move Rick's parents so we didn't spend much time looking at RVs. Once we started though we had a couple of referrals to check out. Rick's aunt's hairdresser had a client who was selling theirs and guess what? That one worked for us.
We've owned it for a total of 13 days and are leaving tomorrow. This is crazy. We know things may not go as planned, but we are looking forward to seeing all the wonderful and silly things in our country. We are heading to Carlsbad Caverns tomorrow on our way to Washington for my Gramma's 90th birthday. We'll "officially" start our year to see the states June 6th. Come along for the ride!
Sounds like you're off to a great start. I can't wait to see where you adventures lead you.
