RV Life
Over four years, I lived in a camper with my family, and we traveled all over North America, and saw a lot of stuff along the way. I postedĀ about our exploits on Casual Weirdness, and share what we are have learned on the road, and on the land. It was a good life, exciting, and full of constant good weather.
Well that didnāt go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard thatās hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. Weāll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.
I can't stop listening to this album. There's something about the 1800's era Americana theme, combined withā¦just really catchy melodies. I've actually listened to it so much that it's caused me to watch documentaries about "Ohio Fever" and "The Year Without a Summer".
Funny, since we just came back to Ohio after our 4 years on the road. Maybe we had Ohio Fever, too.

I think the biggest takeaway I have from our years traveling in the RV is that the world is so much smaller than you think it is. What feels like an entirely different world is usually 1-2 days away. I remember before we left, I would think "I have to go all the way to PITTSBURGH?! (2 hours away)" and now I find myself looking at the Outer Banks (9 hours away) like "I could be flying my kite on the beach before dinner today."
Even longer trips, such as going to Yosemite National Park, is only 3-5 days of travel by car, and I'd even get to make a pit stop to Taos on the way ????.
When itās really windy like this I still feel my stomach drop every time the wind gusts. Low key anxiety from when I lived in a camper, because Iād always worry that I left the awning out ????.
Getting ready to take Devin and Ben to their grandparent's house. Devin asked Kate "Are we going to bring the house" ????
