A Recap

Here's our route from this past year. We had a wonderful time. We did so much that sometimes we have to stop and try to remember all of the things we did: hiking to the top of Half Dome, crawling through lava tubes, taking a boat tour around Crater Lake, having family and friends visit us along the way, fossil-hunting, and so much else! So much of it seems so so long ago.

To compare this year's route to prior years, you can check out our website Map page.

It was a different year for us on the road, though, since we were trying to work. It added some challenges and frustrations for us, true. But in reality we still got to travel and re-visit 13 states and add 17 new National Park sites to our growing list. I'm sure the next time we go back out on the road it will be easier. The satellite dish was working well for the last two months of our trip (it hurt me to call and suspend our service!). And we'll be more accomplished traders by then with some extra cash in reserves. I joked with Chris the other day that we'll be "millionaires" soon enough. I figure that if you don't set that as your goal, you'll never achieve it, right?!

Well, until we get back out on the road again, I'll continue to post periodically when we get involved in the fun activities here in our home town. Right now? Andy's in our roof-top jacuzzi and I'm using the WIFI now available on our pool deck looking at the ocean and the New River. Coming soon? The Winterfest Boat Parade and then we'll be in Philly for Christmas.
