The Question

"So are we really going to do this?"

I look over at my husband and ask him the same question I've been asking him for a few months now. This one question that has been rattling around in my mind for longer than I can put my finger on. It's the kind of life changing question that slowly creeps into your thoughts first as a distant dream but then transforms into something more, something that makes your heart race every time you think about it. A growing excitement, if you will. Excitement about the future, life, and in truth it's a question that makes you terrified because you'll be forced out of your comfort zone and that's how you know deep down you must do it.

It's the question of wether or not we should sell our house, ditch most of our belongings, cram our family into a 5th wheel trailer and travel the country to live life without the safety of a structural foundation. My husband recently retired after 24 years of service in the U.S.Navy and had been practically everywhere, so for him this isn't too far of a leap, but for me I've hardly left the place I was born in Southern California.

"Dan, are we really going to do this?" My husband puts down his tablet, then turns to me as says "yeah, let's do it!"

That was about 6 months ago.

The decision has been made but that's just the beginning. We need to finish renovating our home before we sell. We'll keep you posted on just how a family of four can turn a dream into a reality. I hope you'll join us on our journey to the open road.
