Celebrating Our First Anniversary As Fulltime RVers

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico (16 degrees, snowing)

One year ago today we set off on our adventure as fulltime RVers. We had spent over five years planning for this big day. We left Indianapolis Indiana and are currenlty  volunteering at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico.  Ironically the day we left it snowed and on our first anniversary it is snowing again. That was not in the plans!

We have:

• Traveled 8757 miles in the motorhome
• Traveled numerous miles in the jeep
• Spent at least one night in 14 States
• Reside in 350 square feet of living space
• Worked for two KOA's and one National Forest
• Volunteered at one National Monument
• Participated in one NOMADS project
• Marveled at many beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and star filled skies
• Paddled several rivers  and lakes in our kayak
• Made many new friends
• Enjoyed several visits from family and friends
• Plus so much more

We are certainly enjoying the ride!  It is a great fit for us.  We are healthier, happier, and still love each other very much.  We are grateful that we can travel and enjoy this beautiful country.  It's been a great trip around the sun. 

We put together a a slideshow of a few of our favorite experiences
