So we are starting an new adventure. Selling everything, renting out our house, and moving into a RV to travel the country. We are super excited to get this show on the road. The most common question we have gotten since we started telling people is, why. Thought most everyone thinks it is cool and wishes they could do it, they want to know why we decided to do this and why now.
As far as the why, that is easy. We have always talked about doing this. Even before we had kids we thought it would be fun to be able to travel the county and see everything. Of course we figured that this would be something we would do when we retired, So the idea has always been out there. The Hubby also seems to think that we should do the same thing on a sail boat but I am just not digging that idea, especially with 4 kids.
So as far as the why now, well timing just worked out. Back in Sept 2013 The Hubby left his job of almost 12 years and started his own company, Erilis Technology Solutions. (Shameless plug for his company , check it out for all your IT needs.) His continued to work for his old company for a while but under his new company, He had some time off at the end of March and we went out to KY for his brother's wedding . While I was driving home I turned to him and said, "Let's do it.". He of course asked what I was talking about and I said travel, let's sell off everything, get an RV and travel. You are looking for another contract anyway, let's look for something that will let us travel and see the county.He of course said ok right away as I knew he would. So a couple days after we got home he came into the living room and said if we are seriously going to do this I need to know so I can tailor my job search to it, and we need to start getting rid of stuff. I said yep let's do it will talk to the kids tonight at dinner. So we did. They were varying degrees of excited. The Boy was hesitant, he wasn't sure about leaving his friends, Pokémon Leagues, and just the logistics of living in an RV. Monkey was following suit with The Boy. He was excited at first but when seeing The Boy's hesitation he followed suit. Cat Boy was all over it like white on rice. He wanted to go NOW. He asked if he could bring a few things and once we assured him he could bring them, and of course his cat, he was all in. We decided we would go the next day to see some RV's so that the kids would get a better picture of what we were talking about and see it was just a TINY house on wheels. Once we walked into the first RV they were ALL SOLD. 1000% all in. They wanted to leave yesterday. This is how this adventure was born. There was still a TON to figure out, and a TON to do but we were on our way to the next adventure in our lives.
