A week in sleeping bear dunes national lakeshore gave us solitary beach walks, cold rainy nights, warm sunny days, & peak foliage views 🍁
💫next time: ferry to manitou island from Leland (operates May- September)
I always say we are just scratching the surface with our first year in van life and steadily building our must dos for year two

Staying warm and cozy in van life is all about comfort. Snuggled up with soft blankets, while the aroma of hearty bean stew simmers on the stove with our favorite orchard cider candle 🕯️It’s the perfect way to embrace chilly nights on the road!
This was right after we made an emergency trip to the laundromat to wash said blankets after maxi 🐈 peed on them 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ every moment is NOT perfect, but we appreciate the best in every day. Even a tough day in van life beats an average day in the normal world..

Celebrating three birthdays together after being away for five years in Rhode Island made this family gathering extra special. Honoring Adrian, Michael, and Nikki all in one celebration felt like a sweet reunion. After years apart, it was wonderful to come together and share this moment as a family. Laughter, cake, and catching up made the day memorable, reminding us of the simple joys of being with loved ones. This birthday was more than just candles and gifts—it was about the warmth of being back home and making up for lost time together.

Climbing the towering dunes at Indiana Dunes National Park is a challenging hike, with steep slopes and shifting sands making each step feel harder than the last. But as you reach the top, the stunning view of Lake Michigan makes the effort worthwhile. The colors of the sunset begin to reflect off the water, and the cooling evening air offers relief. The sight of the sunset casting long shadows over the dunes and painting the landscape in a warm glow makes the strenuous hike feel like a distant memory.

When we started believing we WOULD turn our dream into reality- actions started happening - researching occurred - decisions were made- our van was purchased - & these dream views become our DAILY views 💫
It starts with one commitment- one action - leads to another- and then you’re so far in you just keep going and make it happen.
Adrian is the action oriented one — so shout out to him on this one, I am more indecisive.. okay a lot more indecisive.. We may still be deciding on what kind of van we wanted if it was up to me… so one takeaway: make sure you give yourself a timeline to make these important decisions.. and follow through, and better yet, get someone on your team that helps you follow through 👫
From buying the van in July 2022 from the dealership, to installing the pop top in March 2023, having the build out done by @interstate_vans May- August -To hitting the road November 2023➡️ it took us a little over a year to get to take off in our dream rig🚐

RIP Vanwinkle got some more upgrades from @agileoffroad
This thing drives like a dream now. No more slosh. I can drive @ or over the speed limit while taking a corner again and the brakes don't feel like they are struggling.
Funny enough, when the van was being built we were going with agile but these guys are so in demand they had a long back order going! So we had to go with van compass. Now that we got some of their gear on our we won't want to go with anyone else ever again.
It feels like a new van!
