At the beginning of the month we were in the bay area and over the course of the month we trended north and ended up in Seattle. We made loads of new friends and got to catch up with some old ones as well. 

When we started making our plans for traveling full time one of the first MAJOR decisions that we had to make was what vehicle we would take. To make this decision we considered everything that we wanted our vehicle to contain. The list was as follows:

We are going to start a new monthly post. It will be a summery of the previous month in photos. Being that we have never done this before this group covers the first three months of being on the road (April - July). We take more pictures then we know what to do with, so this feels like a nice home for them! If you ever want any additional info on any of the pictures, don't be shy we would love to pass the info along. Enjoy the ride my friends!

There is not a more violating feeling than having your car broken into. To know that someone entered a space that you feel safe in, with no discretion for the things that are important to you will never feel good.

We were in downtown Miami and only away from Stanley 2 hours. He was parked in a public lot, sandwiched between two major roads, in broad daylight. As we walked up to the van I said, "I know I would have never parked in a spot with so much glass on the ground." I hardly made it through that sentence before I reached the passenger vent window to see glass all over the ground.

1. Watch you head...there is something to hit your head on everywhere
2. We could be 100% better at food planning. Going to the grocery store everyday is THE WORST
3. We need cooler weather then we thought we did. No AC has left us sweaty very sweaty

Living in a van/traveling full time, though it’s becoming more common, is still a 180 degree turn from the way we are conditioned to live. As we prepare to leave, we understandably get a lot of questions about this. The most frequently asked are:  where are we going to first? There is no good answer to this question, but in all honesty, probably Target...because we always forget something!
