Vicarious Nomads

You may not be in a position to drop everything and travel the world. (We might not either, but we're talking about you right now.)

And 5 bottles of paint for Fiona’s art -painting Caitlyn’s ceiling in Canada.

It’s nearly a full moon and Fiona wants to write the moon a letter to say thank you for shining on our favorite trip ever.

We Couldn't Wait!

It’s almost 10:30 pm Wednesday night and none of us can wait! The van’s packed, Fiona’s in a hurry to get to Canada, and we’ll be leaving in a few minutes. Tomorrow we’ll arrive in Washington and stay 4 days there. Then – [...]
