we have

...been on the road for almost a month now, although it doesn't feel that long.
...traveled 3,500 miles
...driven through 11 states so far
...been swimming in cold fresh spring lakes and a warm river fed reservoir
...enjoyed ski boats and a pontoon boat with a slide
...snorkeled in a river and splashed in a stream
...hiked up the dunes and through the dense forests
...caught tad poles and zebra muscles
...played in the rain and in the shade of huge trees
...made new friends and reunited with old friends
...slept in our RV in campgrounds, family & friends driveways & a walmart parking lot
...walked along sandy beaches at sunset and rocky beaches at sunrise
...rode bikes and driven 4 wheelers
...driven through the middle of the night
...grilled veggies, grass-fed beef, pizza, cinnamon rolls and pie
...smiled at strangers and waved at people passing by
...heard exciting news and sad news from home
...held baby goats, brushed little lambs and rubbed the neck of a calf
...watched, giggled and caught fire-flys
...slept through heavy rain and awoke to rumbling thunder
...eaten at a Peruvian restaurant and chipotle
...seen the massive devastation from this years tornadoes
...risen with the sun and slept in until 10am
...had a blast and a little stress at times
...talked about our much bigger trip we are planning later this year
...learned to love living in a small space
