We're currently staying in St. Paul Minnesota in a nearly 100-year old home. Right outside the window are morning glories. I've loved morning glories since I was a kid and always hoped to have some of my own. Now I do for a few weeks while house sitting.
Diagonally right across the way is a playground. [...]

Our visit here in Rice Lake is about to come to an end. Sunday morning we leave for St. Paul for our 3-week house sitting job. Fiona has enjoyed her visit with her grandma Mumsie, as we call Joel's mom. She's also loved coming back to The Rice Lake Public Library. Yesterday she had fun with [...]
After an overnight stay in Colorado Springs with Couchsurfing hosts John and Chris, we traveled to Ogallala Nebraska where we stayed with other Couchsurfing hosts with puppies. Fiona loved seeing the three-week old puppies.
Today we traveled through Nebraska to South Dakota. Driving north through Nebraska we stopped at the Missouri River. Fiona dangled her feet in [...]
We arrived safe, though tired, in San Diego last Friday night at Joel's brother's house. We had a very nice meal together and then got to bed. Our niece is kindly letting us use her new futon to sleep on. Sunday we had a great visit with my mom, Grandma Susan. We enjoyed our lunch at [...]
Today we leave Roseville to head to San Diego. I woke up at 4:45 am knowing the alarm would go off at 6 am. After laying in bed just a bit, I got up, showered, and started packing. It's now 6:20 am and everything is set to put in the van, Joel and I have had [...]
The sisters have been reunited! Fiona and Rachelle are together once again after being separated five months. Fiona hasn't seen her big sister since Rachelle's wedding in March. She's very happy to have a few days to spend with her! You can see Fiona's video about it here.
I'm very happy too that I get to see [...]
We've enjoyed house sitting again for Rita in Colorado. They are coming back one day early so we're leaving a day early. That's okay. Nomads must be flexible! We're so flexible that a week or so ago we changed our plans entirely and decided to head back to California for a short visit.
Fiona hasn't seen her [...]

Yesterday we spent all afternoon doing a bunch of things. Our friend Dorothy had given us complimentary tickets to go to Golden Colorado and see the Golden History Museum, Astor House and Clear Creek Park. The drive out there was beautiful. We had to stop and get some pictures of the beautiful green valley. There was [...]

Fiona loves butterflies. She doesn't necessarily want them flying around her though. We enjoyed our visit to the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster Colorado this past weekend. Thanks to our friend Dorothy, a school teacher in the Denver area, we had complimentary tickets.
When you first enter the pavilion there's a section about bugs. There are scorpions and [...]

This past weekend we stayed overnight in Colorado Springs with Couch Surfers Chris and John Orsborn. They have two one-year old mini Australian Shepherds, Max and Maddie (sisters). They greeted us warmly as we came in. Fiona's been a bit nervous about dogs but she finally got down with them and before long was right at [...]

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.) If you'd like to participate vicariously, your financial support of this adventure will help us to document it, and hopefully show that even today (perhaps especially today) a family can choose where and how to live.
We're not expensive folks. Even the smallest amount will make a very real difference.
