Well, three years ago we started our new life on the road filled with many adventures, new friends, and interesting places to visit. It is hard to pick out one favorite place because each one is unique in its own way. There have been no regrets in selling our sticks & bricks house. Look at all the things we would have missed if we had stayed in Albuquerque working 40 hour weeks with only a 2-week vacation.

| Ready to start our adventure on the road. |
We would never have been able to see our granddaughters or our daughter as often. We have seen both granddaughters do a lot of growing up in the last three years into well-mannered young ladies.
And some of our family has been able to visit us in our different locations.

| Our son, Shaun visiting us in Patagonia |
 |
| Sandy's brother Jay visiting us in Key West |
Dan's sister and her husband visited us in Patagonia, but we never got around to taking any photos. We'll have to make up for that next time.
Then there's many adventures we would have missed. We would never have been held up by the Burro Gang in Custer's State Park in SD.

| Give us all your apples! |
We never had views like this from our home....
 |
| South Dakota |
 |
| Key West, FL |
 |
| Florida |
 |
| Arizona |
Some places are filled with friendly people....
 |
| Saguaro Skp Co-op, Benson, AZ |
Other places are a lot less populated...
 |
| Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve |
I never would have seen half the quilt shows, shops, or museums....
We never would have kayaked in the Florida Keys...
or have seen the Arches....well, maybe since we did live within traveling distance for a 2 week vacation....
Anyhow.....or climbed rock fins...
or frozen our feet to see Crater Lake...
How can you beat views like this?
 |
| Northern California |
 |
| Shenandoah National Park |
So much more to see and do. It will be a long time before we get tired of our lifestyle. Happy Trails to all!

ReplyDeleteHi Heather, We do! There is so much to see and do. I hope your dream comes true!
DeleteWhat an exciting way to live! You've seen such amazing sights in just three years. The Ogre and I dream about buying a trailer and traveling, perhaps if I ever start making enough money at art to survive.
ReplyDeleteHooray for livin' like vagabonds! I do love that red hair...and the burros too! So jealous, I want to do that!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! Oh, that day will come faster than you think. One day, I'm feeding my little ones and now they are cooking meals for us. Keep your dreams, they will come true!
DeleteCongratulations on your 3 year anniversary! You are definitely living life to the fullest. You are right, you would have missed so much. Plus, I have so enjoyed all your wonderful photography from your travels.
