Is this blog still here?

It's been nearly three years since we headed off on "the big trip," and I can confidently say we would go again in a minute if we could. We talk often about places we've visited and things we've seen. Our camper is still with us, though it's not in the greatest of shape. A trip of that many miles with that many bumpy roads takes its toll on a then nine-year-old pop-up. But it still happily takes us to our favorite campgrounds or down to the beach for a weekend here and there.

The kids are 11 and 12 now, while the wife and I are still the same ages we were three years ago. As we move through another year, we remain, proudly, a bunch of weirdos. But that's not likely a surprise. We've found that the big trip has served as a kind of before-and-after event. We learned so much about ourselves and the world around us in what turned out to be a short few months. And that learning has served us well through rainy days and sunny days, happy days and sad. We'd love to hit the road again, and we're cheering on a couple we know who've retired early and are about to take to the road themselves. It appears unlikely we can, unnoticed, hook our camper on the back of theirs, but we can dream...

Sorry I haven't kept up with this blog since 2010, but I trust you've been able to go on with your lives just the same. In truth, I wasn't sure I still remembered how to login, but here I am, memory still mostly intact. If I come up with something to say some day, I might add a little something here on occasion, but don't lay awake at night waiting for it.

In the meantime, Happy Day!
