2023 🥳 our 1st post of the year, if you’re reading this thanks for being here 🫶 you’ve no idea how much we’ve appreciated your support along the way! As the past year comes to a close, we're reflecting on all the changes we've experienced.
1. Standing in front of Mt. Baker at one of the most incredible free campsites we’ve ever been to
2. Our last camping trip: drawing and tutoring in the van
3. Building a DIY paint booth to re-paint the entirety of the van
4. The van nestled inside our tarp and duct tape booth (palm trees and rope for support, 2 fans for ventilation)
5. Dalton inside the booth preparing to prime the van
6. Working on repainting the interior
7. Finding a new project! (1989 Ford Chinook Campervan)
8. All 3 of our projects together
9. Our ‘last meal’ in our 1st home
10. Dory’s new owners taking her for a test spin, we were so glad she’d have a new pup to travel with!
After 3.5 years of constantly moving and traveling on the road, this year has been a little different with more time spent sitting still. But it hasn't been all rest and relaxation - we've been busy renovating our new vintage campervan into our full-time home on wheels. It's been an incredible end of the year, filled with love, lots of traveling to see family and friends, and lots of hard work towards planning out what is to come in 2023. As we rang in the new year we talked about our future plans for traveling and living out of the Chinook (vintage rv) full-time, once we’ve finished the renovation of course, creating new vanlife memories in our permanent home on wheels, and all the places we hope to visit. Alaska and Acadia are big on our lists this time!
What are you most looking forward to in the new year? Share your thoughts and plans in the comments below - we can't wait to hear from you!
Love always,
Kat & Dalton
