THE HONEYMOONERS

I thought we started the RV life in 2012 with our 45day road trip (still the record) to Cali for Seth & Michelle’s wedding, but Amanda reminded me we started in 2006 in New Zealand, 17 years ago!

I’ve come to the conclusion that RV life is a metaphor for life. 

The list below will be incomplete, but the message will be clear - that planning and executing a road trip in an RV is a proxy for one way to live a meaningful life:

Start a fire

Be aware of your surroundings 

Reduce challenging tasks by taking your time to understand 

Build a team and contribute and support

Talk to strangers w kindness 

Allow room for spontaneity

Respect Mother Nature 

Love your family

Against the warnings, the boyz and I made the massive Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear yesterday - more metaphors for life in that decision and accomplishment. 

Then we headed East w a quick stop in Traverse City, MI for lunch and a beautiful drive along their bay before arriving to Mackinaw Mill Creek where we woke up today and are spending two nights. 

Boyz got some hoops in, mommy and I enjoyed the sunset over the bridge and the Friday night fireworks show. 

We could have done w/o the barking this morning, but at least one of us is up now drinking coffee and journaling. 

Ferry ride, bikes and adventures await on Mackinaw Island today.
