Our Coast-to-coast-to-coast Adventure

Well ... actually, we've been home for a little over a month ... but we had a LOT of catching up to do.

Our coast-to-coast-to-coast adventure turned out to be 62 days and +11,400 miles!!!

My first barn quilt!  (Manatoulin Island, ON)

A small 2016 T@b Teardrop Trailer, 2 kayaks, 2 adults, 2 English Setters.

We saw beautiful scenery, went to a family reunion (PEI), cheered on a friend for his first 1/2 Ironman (NY), visited more family (ON, DC, KS) visited my college roommate (MA) and my 4th grade BFF (CO), and saw SO many new and beautiful places!

Favorite Place:  Quebec City (me), Provincetown, MA (him)

Least favorite:  Cape May, NJ (the flies were relentless)

Would I do it again:  YES!!!

Will we do it again:  no

19 Unique States and 5 unique Provinces:  WA, ID, MT, ND, MB, ON, QB, NB, PEI, NB, ME, MA, NY, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV, KY, IN, IL, KS, CO, WY, ID, WA

If you're thinking of driving across the 🇺🇸and/or  🇨🇦—GO FOR IT!

We were pretty strict on what we took and that made it a LOT easier for loading and unloading.  We had a few moments, mostly surrounding rain—two large, wet dogs isn't a lot of fun in a big space, let alone a little one.  But overall, we really enjoyed the ability to travel light, see so much new, and share something we really enjoy with our friends and family.

It also kinda makes us wonder why we need an 1800 sf house when we did just fine in a 60 sf teardrop trailer for 2 months 😎

I am excited to be home and caught up on awning orders ... and looking forward to starting to share new ideas and work on this blog again!

Hope everyone had an equally fun introduction to fall!
