We left at 7:30 am Saturday to start the long drive from Arizona to Albuquerque New Mexico. We had gotten everything packed the night before and felt great about getting started. During the two weeks we'd been in Mesa house sitting, we'd never had any problems with the garage door opening and closing. But sure enough, when we went to leave that morning we couldn't get it to close electronically. After several attempts Joel manually closed it and we made sure it locked. (Since then the home owners say it works just fine!)

We stopped in Olympia, Washington's capital, and at the Farmer's Market bought breakfast - great fresh fruit: peaches, apples, plums. We also bought lunch - cucumbers, grape tomatoes and a great loaf of garlic and rosemary French bread.
Upon arriving in Portland at 3 [...]

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.
