One year ago today we left our home and headed East on a nearly year-long exploration, unsure where exactly we'd go and when we'd return. We planned on documenting our experiences on this blog as we went. After all, we'd be doing a lot of driving, Tricia quit her job to focus on this, our commitments to charitable service would be constrained from our normal routines, and the kids were enrolled in online classes that were designed for flexibility for exactly this purpose. Plenty of time to write up some blog posts, right? Ummm, yeah - that's not how it turned out.
"Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can on it." - Danny Kaye
Danny described our year perfectly - a year of opportunity to paint fantastic memories and we threw everything we could into it! Along the way, time spent writing blog posts became time not spent doing something we couldn't do again later - so it quickly became something we chose to defer so we could devote the time to experiencing everything we could.
As a result, we'll be looking through the lens of continuous 1-year anniversaries. We'll intentionally take the next year to document the trip, and we're eager for that! We looking forward to reliving the memories by retelling the stories during the seasons in which they originally occurred. We invite you to join us in reading bite-size stories of our "Epic East Coast Adventure"!
Tricia, Jeffrey, Candace & Carter
