We arrived back at our home on Whidbey Island about an hour ago. We are overwhelmed with joy, and a feeling of being blessed.
We drove a bit over 1300 mile in 2 1/2 days, leaving Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park in the early early morning. We drove 525 miles the first day, 600 the next, and about 180 today.
We were so excited.
We left out home here over 20 weeks ago, a very long time to be away. We missed the smells of our woods, the views of the woods outside our windows, our woodburning stove, and so much else (including daily showers).
This is the end of our sixth road trip together. Six. We realized today that we don't really have a period of time in our marriage when we weren't on road trips---even in the first 1/2 year we were together we spent a lot of our time repairing our first camper for our first road trip.
We love both facets of our lives---being in our camper alone on the prairie, in the woods, or in the deserts, and being home on Whidbey Island.
We both feel so blessed with our lives, all 60+ years of them for both of us, and with our lives together in the bed of a pickup and on Whidbey Island.
Welcome home to us!
I really sink at selfies.
