This is it. This will be the final post on our blog. So what has this trip meant? What are we taking away from six months on the road? Six months of being voluntarily homeless? Six months of coffee and oats, am I right!? Though more importantly lies the question: what did we learn? As I look back over all our posts the first thing that really pops out to me is how much better we got at writing the…
Well family and friends, we’re getting close to the end. There is still some adventure left in this ol’ rust bucket though. Let’s give her a kick and see what falls off her underside, yeah? This last week was a bit of everything. Long bouts of driving, a very comfy few days of house lounging, and plenty of outdoor spectacles for our viewing enjoyment. When Kate left off at the end of last week’s post we had just arrived at…
Well, well, well. Welly, welly, welly. Wellity, wellity, wellity. Welcome back. How are you? Well? Us too! Picking up from where we left off – After spending the whole week with my moms, we left their house in Cedar Park a little sadder than when we arrived. It felt nice to be close to family, we’ve been missing family these past months. Having my brother there for Thanksgiving was nice too. After I dropped him off at the airport I…
Well hello again all! It’s me, Brian, returning to you as normal. It felt so nice to have a guest writer handle a portion of our blog duties, and what a wonderful job she did! Thanks again Alison, and cheers to you. Also, Cheers to Alison and Bryan as a pair for joining us in New Orleans. It was such a blast to see some old friendly faces and what faces they are! So now we resume the regularly scheduled…
We arrived in Fayetteville NC to meet up with Nate and his family: his wife Rachel and their kids Kingston, Jackston, Ace and Emelia – and their tiny tiny dog Cloye, a teacup Yorkie. We had arrived just in time for dinner with them and spent a couple hours after the kids went to bed just catching up and reconnecting before Kate and I retired to the luxury of the RV and the two parents went to bed. They have…
Hey y’all, how you fine folks doin’? What’s that you say? What accent? C’mon now y’all – I done always talked this way! Sorry! It would seem that now that we’ve started venturing toward the south, my surroundings are getting the better of me. Where do I begin? At the beginning of the week of course. As Kate informed y’all you all last week we left Charlottesville on Monday. We drove for a little while before hunger struck. We were…
As Kate left off at the end of last week’s post: Of course I forgot my toothbrush! Of course I did! We turned around and drove back 20 minutes to go pick it up as it is an electric toothbrush and not just a quick pharmacy-replaceable one. I had also forgotten the charger. When we got back we were welcomed and appropriately giggled at for forgetting it. Having properly grabbed everything this time we departed. The Ritter family had graciously…
We miss you. All of you. Anyone reading this, know that we’re thinking of you and thinking about how much fun we’ve had and how we look forward to the time we can spend together with you all in the future. We know that you all are thinking of us too, why else would you be here reading what we’ve got to say? To catch up you up to speed, at the end of last week’s post Kate left everyone…
In regards to last week’s post – we died. End of blog. Thank you for viewing. So what am I on about? Did we survive? Did we make it? As Kate mentioned at the very end of last week’s post, we had stayed the night at a vaguely named rest area with suspicious water quality and lingering police. It all turned out fine. We slept peacefully and no one bothered us at all. We awoke and after doing some quick…
Hello everyone, it’s ya boi – Brian. This week was a good one but there were some definite crummy nights. As an overview of where we went during the week: Kansas City, The Mark Twain National Forest, Saint Louis, Chicago. Can’t get any more midwestern than that! When Kate ended the last post she mentioned that I got to indulge in my first authentic Kansas City BBQ experience. 12/10 Would recommend to anyone. Before I jump right into the glorification…
