Today starts the first day of the next three months! For those of you who do not know, Scott and I are taking off and hitting the road. We left Philadelphia Saturday morning and we are currently in Fort Wayne with our families. By the end of our journey we will have traveled approximately 8000 miles through 23 states, and approximately 22 national parks. Our plans are to hike, bike, spend time with family and friends, as well as hopefully find our next place to call home.
This all started four years ago…Scott and I created a “Five Year Plan”. We had just gotten back from a week in Squaw Valley up in Lake Tahoe, CA. We thought; you know… why are we living in Phoenix when we could possibly live in Tahoe? That question got our gears turning. So we started making plans that in five years we would go on a two month road trip and then move up to Tahoe.
The time has finally come, one year shy of the Five Year Plan, but perfect time with current life events! Now we’re going to travel around and check out our options instead of going straight for Tahoe. We don’t know where we’re going to end-up; we’re thinking possibly California, Northern Arizona, or Colorado. We want to live in the mountains where we can hike and bike out our front door as well as enjoy a moderate temperature year round (after spending eight years in Phoenix and one on the East coast, I’m ready for moderate weather!). Scott wants sunshine and I want a biking/walking friendly community. It’s going to be a compromise I’m sure at the end, but well worth the journey.
I will blog every day or two of our journey as well as share pictures of our adventures. Tune in, and check out what we’ve been up to and where we’ve been!
