Introducing...Our New Home on Wheels

After spending four months in California, visiting friends and family, exploring old favorites and new finds and working, it was time for us to move on.

And we moved on fast. We moved out of our first and beloved home on wheels, packed our belongings into a Uhaul trailer and trekked (quickly) across the United States to Ohio.

We stopped briefly in St. Louis to deal with our storage unit, say hi to friends and play a little at the St. Louis Science Center.

We made it to Ohio and dropped our Uhaul trailer at a KOA.  After a day of a walkthrough, fan adding, paper signing and hooking up, we were on our way back to the KOA with our new home behind us.  It took us some hours but we unpacked and moved in.  We are all overjoyed with the newness and space our new home has given to us.

Here is a sneak peak...and yes! we've already started decorating and wall will be painted (I just have to decide on colors).

And we're back...

Back on the road that is and we couldn't be happier.  The open road is where we are meant to be.
The events that lead up to us being back on the road fulltime was a whirlwind...the good kind, but whirlwind nonetheless.
Towards the end of May we went "camping" in the trailer and felt so at home, it was amazing.  Conversations about going back on the road had been going on since about January, so we decided we'd check into the option of going back on the road.  We knew it would end in one of two ways...we'd be asked to leave SOON or they would say they didn't have any openings on the road.  On  May 26th he asked, on May 27th we decided and were to be leaving 9 days later.  So in 9 days we packed up a house, put it in storage, made a few little changes to the trailer and pulled out of town.
Our travels are a bit different than they were previously...we are staying in areas for shorter periods of time.  So for the past month we've traveled all over Illinois and tomorrow we venture over into Iowa.
I have lots of blog catching up to do and its taking me a bit to get back into the grove of sitting and writing about our crazy life.  So hang tight...photos and stories will be following in the weeks to come.
