Ahhh, my Maine Squeeze! Happy Birthday (week) to me! Maine makes your teeth fall out! Familiar faces! And.. My sabbatical is already one-third complete. A blissful 3-weeks in Maine. We loved Maine! When we left Utah, we weren’t sure where we would be celebrating birthdays. We are simply “riding The Wave where she takes us”. I...
The Appalachian Trail and WICKED COOL colors starting to show up on the trees! The leaves are already stunning and they haven’t hit their peak!! (That is what people say about me too! Ha) The vibrant colors here in New England compete with the gorgeous mountains of Utah! Though I am envious of the fact...
Autumn in New England, that was always the goal. We made it! Worth every mile! The colors, the energy, the crispness in the air, it’s all pure bliss. We dug our heals into the ground as we left Burlington, Vermont! OHHHH, how we all LOVE you, Burlington! I can’t dream of a better place to...
No matchy-matchy in Niagara Falls for us, okay, maybe for just a minute or ten! The identical sandals were not intentional. They are required attire at The Cave of the Winds. We are not “those” people. It was an amazing week in the Niagara Falls area of New York! This was a destination we had...
“If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough” – author unknown. I am currently living my dream and it scared me this week! We crammed as much as we possibly could have, including dumpster diving for retainers and the start of football season (Go Utes!), into our two-week stay in Harrisburg and...
Who would have guessed that Ohio had so many Islands?! We spent an afternoon in Put-In Bay (Population: 135 people), a township on South Bass Island. We rented a golf-cart to cruise around and visit some insanely cool places like the Chocolate Cafe and the International Peace Memorial. Saturday feels like Saturday again! Life is...
My “Soul Status” is HIGH. These are the weeks that my heart explodes with gratitude. The cover photo shows Hannah’s surprise birthday cake for Brian. Highlights: The BEAUTIFUL thing about living in a tiny house on wheels is that you can “move” when you arrive to find your neighbor proudly sporting his confederate flag. I...
This area is absolutely gorgeous! I would have never considered this area a “destination place”, however, I was wrong! There is water (lakes, rivers, etc.) around every corner. Hence, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. However, I think there are 10,000,000 mosquitos! The mid-west mosquitos are more advanced than the ones we are used to at...
The Wave gets to visit her home state and tell us her story… MILEAGE: 5,020 – Whoa! I have the best driver EVER! SOUL STATUS: HIGH; however, I had to REALLY earn it this week. This week was HUUUGE (who does that sound like? haha) as I was reminded that how a person feels is...
The road is our classroom! Best. Learning. Experience. Ever. First lesson learned: A week in South Dakota is plenty, for me. Second lesson learned: Locust sound extremely electric and quiet themselves quickly when bats approach! Mileage: 4425 Soul Status: HIGH. I loved getting a visual of places I had only learned about via text books....
