Visit From an Old Friend

A couple months back I received an email from an old friend from high school. Lance and I have kept in touch over the years via email with a couple visits when I've traveled to California. We hadn't talked in a while so it was nice to get the email.

Almost a year ago, Lance decided to take a year off work, sell the house, and travel the country in an RV with his family. So, since then that is exactly what they have been doing. They have a really nice RV, big enough for the entire family to be comfortable in. For the most part it is just 4 of them, plus the dog, but occasionally, their oldest son Skylar joins them when he has breaks from college.

Their travels eventually brought them through the Denver area so we had them over for dinner. I am sure it was nice for them to have a home cooked meal that they didn't have to prepare in their RV. We got a chance to catch up on old times and learn all about their travels. They have been homeschooling the younger boys and incorporating places they visit into their lesson plans. What a great way to learn the incredible history of our country.

After dinner and visiting they were back on the road heading to Colorado Springs. They are nearing the end of their travels and from the sound of it, they are looking forward to settling home again.
