I really do like having a loose, pre-determined schedule. Our days are usually loosely planned out (school/work, exercise, lunch, tablet/quiet time, adventure, dinner, bed) as well as our general plan for the next few months. If you look at our Travel Schedule you’ll see we have a loose plan through the year 2017. I think…
Our travel pace is usually pretty slow, by design. Our average ‘move’ is only about 100 miles, and we move about every 3 to 5 days. This varies of course, but we commonly travel our average pace. We have often talked about executing a ‘fast’ move to linger a little longer in one place and…
Sometimes the best plans are the most unexpected ones. Our original spring plan involved visiting the Very Large Array in NM, heading through Flagstaff and Page, AZ, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and then driving north. Instead, however, we decided to spend more time in Arkansas, and take a direct route from New Mexico to…
Did you misspell spontaneous on purpose for some reason?

Travel Dates: October 14 – Nov 3, 2015 We dropped the Airstream off at the factory in Jackson Center, OH for repairs while we flew to Utah to visit family. Everything went off without a hitch – we stayed a night in the terraport, talked with the technician early Wednesday morning and then packed and…
[…] After a great weekend, it was back to reality. We had a quick lunch stop at the River Raisin National Battlefield, and then we drove down to Jackson Center, Ohio and the Airstream Factory. We were leaving our Airstream there to get the rear panel replaced while we flew to Utah for 2 weeks to visit family! […]ReplyCancel
“Just get out the door. Just get out the door,” I chant to myself as things start to look bleak for our afternoon adventure. In a perfect world, our kids jump up, excited to get out the door and explore. The reality, however, usually consists of a whole lot of whining. “I don’t want to…
Wow! You said it spot on! Although we’ve never traveled full-time, the way you described it is exactly what life is like in suburbia with kids. Even with a healthy and active lifestyle, sometimes you just get so wrapped up in feeling the need to get things done because in reality there is always so much to get done (the unfortunate, sad part of having too much stuff).ReplyCancel
Such an honest and good post, Jess. And I completely understand what you’re saying here. We struggle with the same things, and I find it hard to keep up with all the household stuff, let alone getting out and exploring. The few short trips we’ve taken with the Casita has shown me the alternative, and I crave that. It may be “cheating” like you said, but it’s so totally worth it!
Hope your return to Chicago and getting back on the road goes smoothly!
Hang in there, Jess! I totally understand that feeling where you lose motivation, but it’ll come back. Enjoy this short period of rest so that you can hit the ground running when you move on again.
Good luck with the pageant!

Thanks Kate! Yup! Time to rest up.
Awe, Jess…I (we) can relate, hang in there for this too shall pass! Brad Anderson (Island Park, Id.)
