6 people 12 times November

 

(We forgot a photo in November so Purple drew us all bundled up in the cold.)

November found us in transition. Dan finished up his job in California and we began our trek to the mid-west to see family. Yes, November in the mid-west in an RV, not the smartest move we've made but we learned a lot:)

Before we left California though we had some people we had to see again and some food we had to eat.  (Yes we love food and have favorites everywhere)

We started by heading to where Kevin and Angie were and had a night of homemade thai style food and beverages. I had more beverages than food, but it was a great night regardless. We love this couple and really hope to connect with them again soon (hint hint Kev)

From there we left Casa de Fruta and headed back to Sacramento. We were able to say goodbye's to a lot of the people we'd met at the KOA, and went back to our favorite restaurant, Sugar Plum. Once we left Sac we headed over the pass into Nevada and the roads were nasty. The semi's had chains on them and it was slow going for quite awhile. Turns out we would drive home in frigid temps or snow all the way.

We were able to connect again with the Lende's and got to caravan all the way to Nebraska. We were able to stop in Salt Lake City and enjoy lieges and frites from another favorite place. I love Salt Lake and the beauty of the mountains there but in November it was too cold to linger.

We parted ways from the Lende's in Nebraska and drove the rest of the way on our own. We love that family and it was exciting to watch them head towards their next chapter. (It also turns out we fit perfectly in their driveway)

Wisconsin brought so many great reunions and it was so sweet to see the kids reconnect with friends whom they hadn't seen in a long time. We were able to spend Thanksgiving with family and then began to anticipate getting out of the cold.

Because of the needs of our littlest we knew we couldn't even attempt to transition her out of the RV and then back in when it was time to hit the road. It was cold. We slept with hats on and went through so much propane trying to keep warm. Our eyes were set on warmth for sure.

It was a beautiful month. One of reunions and also the realization of the fact that we love being on the road. We love being around those we love but we also love to meet new people and see new things. And did I mention we like the sun?
