Gearing up for an Adventure

It has been a while since I have posted anything, it is not that life has been boring. Just BUSY! Although I know I should be writing down for our own sake, the milestones and such that Nora has been achieving. She has grown so much, and so seemingly quick! They always say they grow fast, well they do. She is now commenting on dresses, counting to ten, telling us if she is mad at us, or if something hurts and where. She loves the beach and asks to go constantly, and she will let us know when she is done and wants to go home. Just the other day when I sneezed she immediately gave me a “bless you.” She knows so many colors, and sooo many animals, and she forgets NOTHING! It is amazing watching her brain develop. Her family is going to be realized surprised when they see her next, which just so happens to be coming very soon.

We are loading up Nora’s Ark and setting forth on an adventure. We have scheduled stops in Georgia, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. It will be our first big journey in the Ark and we are so excited! I have been prepping and repairing the van for the last few weeks and she is about ready to go. We have been getting regular use from it though, taking it on short jaunts to the beach every weekend and other short trips. There is no better way to travel with a child than the Ark. Nora loves the van, and sometimes just hangs out in it watching movies while I do work on it.

While we honestly do have armed neighbors with itchy trigger fingers watching over our house, we are not going to post an itinerary :)

So stay tuned to see what little towns and destinations we check out along the route. Hopefully we find some new Dogparks and Brewpubs, and Thai restaurants, and mountain bike trails, and playgrounds, . . .
