Since we moved to Tucson 11 years ago we’ve traveled home to our eastern family and friends for Christmas every year except one, when Silas was a newborn. This year’s traveling is a bit different than all the rest though. We’re DRIVING! The money tree I’ve got growing in the garden didn’t quite produce the small fortune it now costs us to fly east, being a family of four with no kids under 2 years of age anymore. So van travel it is!<\/p>\n
And wow, is this the life. All the legroom we want. Seats that fully recline. Fresh air with a mere crack of the window. Flexibility to stop and pee and stretch and sleep and fill up on coffee whenever we feel like it. A layover at a world class climbing gym along the journey to put in a quick training session. Waaaaay better snack selection. And the freedom to talk like robots without people looking at us weird. \ud83d\ude09 Holiday van travel rocks!!!!<\/p>\n
See you in Pittsburgh!<\/p>\n
