Much to my surprise, we have had quite a few people ask us our opinion of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I think for some people, the PNW is like a mystical dreamland. Plenty of recreation opportunities, beautiful green landcapes, the rolling ocean and coast. It does sound pretty dreamy, right?. These people were thinking of…
We spent last weekend cuddled up in our Airstream listening to our church leaders and their inspirational messages centered around Jesus Christ. It is always a fulfilling weekend for us, leaving us spiritual uplifted with a renewed determination to be better and do better. The last address, given Sunday afternoon, took me by surprise.

We were recently interviewed by Michael Boyink for his Ditching Suburbia project, and our conversation has led me to a few realizations about our town travel and our motivations to travel.

Come to MN! It is green here, we have big lakes and while it does rain, it doesn’t rain for days at a time. That said, don’t come until June. If you come before June you may get stuck in a snow storm!
I think next summer will be quite the test run! I can’t wait!
