Time

-

I know we haven't posted much lately. One of the most surprising things to me has been the utter lack of time we seem to have. That's not a problem unique to us for sure, but I did assume it would get better once we hit the road. After all, we'd be giving up all nightly activities, most non-grocery errands, and things like the Y and the library. We should have nothing but time, right?

Wrong, apparently.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I have a few theories. Since we all live in the same two rooms, we have had to align our sleep schedules. That's great because it means Julie and I get more sleep, but it also means we have less down time in the evenings.

We've also tried to take advantage of the places we are and do outings when possible. For example, we were in the Florida Keys last week and travelled to Key West two nights for various activities. Other nights were spent at the pool.

I suppose we take life at a slower pace now too since we're rarely in a rush to do anything (except on departure days, when no one seems to move fast enough).

Whatever it is, there hasn't been a lot of "sitting around doing nothing so might as well do a blog post" time. ðŸ¤·

Oh, I know one more place my time is going. Commuting. I'm posting this from a McDonald's parking lot. ðŸ¤¦‍♂️

    I always read along. More sleep sounds amazing to me. Ha!

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
