So far the topography has been pretty much the same, though EVERY place is completely unique and special. There have been some stops that we were glad to pull away from and others that we were sad to leave behind.
Ironically we live in a moving home... but we really don't drive that much. We pick the next destination and the best way to get there (scenic byways always beat out the interstates) then go. Once we arrive we don't drive at all. I think we might be driving less than if we had jobs and responsibilities.
The 'destinations' we've passed so far are along the path. The ones that we miss, we will either hit up on the way back to Florida, or make a special trip later on~ sans the kiddo.
Once the temperature starts to rise we will start heading more north and continue west. Both Hubs and I have lived in Florida most of our lives, though we have traveled beyond the Sunshine State, and we are ready to see and experience mountains and desserts and canyons and whatever else is waiting for us.
In the interim, we have hiked and biked and played games. We have had structured 'school' and a whole lot of what can we learn today 'school'. We've laughed. We've read so many books. We've combed the beaches. We have become acquainted with this other version of the life we 'planned'.
Currently residing in Louisiana just outside of New Orleans. Not too keen on the idea of navigating NOLA in the RV, we might not get to the heart of the city. But you better be sure there are beignets in our near future. As well as an authentic King Cake.... it is Mardi Gras season after all.
The view changes as we go. There have been a few days when it was so foggy we could barely see past the bumper, others were filled with sparkling ripples thanks to the sunshine along the Mississippi Coast. We've driven through cotton fields, underwater tunnels and one fire. There have been a several times we laughed out load at the silliness we encountered and been taken aback at how cheep gas is right now (really had no idea).
I can hardly believe that it's only the beginning!
