Owen and I lived in Georgia for a long time before going on the road. Nearly every weekend we spent exploring north Georgia and the surrounding states. It’s amazing to me after so many trips to this area we’re still managing to find new and incredible places. So this is a friendly PSA to explore your backyard, we think you will be impressed with what you find. Thank you @shelbychikazawa for the recommendation 😘

Despite how much time we’ve spent in Florida it feels like all of our time is always spent in a driveway building a home. We’re stoked we got a little taste of what wild Florida has to offer before leaving. You better believe we’ll be back for more...exploring. Not driveway surfing. 🤙🏼

"Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful.” - Anthony Bourdain
You connected so many with the world ❤️

Status report: Amelia is in the shop getting a suspension overhaul. As Florida started to fade into the rear view mirror we realized around the slightest of turns Amelia felt as if she was going to tip over. Living in a home on wheels it’s import to be as light as possible to avoid unnecessary strain and wear on the vehicle. With that in mind we did our best to stay as light as possible and keep our weight low in the vehicle, but still we feel tippy. After some research and crawling around under Amelia we came to the conclusion that her original suspension was in dire need of a makeover. We hope to have her back early next week firmly planted on the ground. In the mean time we’re spending long overdue time catching up with dear friends/family and clients.
Moral of the story is that a home on wheels is never complete but always a work in progress🤙🏼 aren’t we all though?!

The transition from our VW Vanagon to our Sunrader took far longer then we ever thought it would. We’ve always seen this transition as an investment in our future and the longevity of our life on the road. It is so incredible to finally be experiencing a plan that we set into motion over a year ago. Good things come to those who wait I guess❤️

This isn’t how we imagined our first day back on the road. We were only 45 mins outside of Orlando when we suddenly started swerving uncontrollably. Within seconds our rear driver side came off and continued down the highway without us and over to the other side of the highway. We managed to stay in control as we dropped down onto our new rotor and pulled over to the side of the highway. It took us a while to say anything. I got out to look at our wheelless well to access the damage. Luckily her body was fine but the fender ripped off when the wheel came loose, the remaining pieces were 200 yards back on the shoulder. I called a tow truck and Owen dodged traffic to retrieve our wheel. We knew in order to get towed we needed to get our wheel back on, but our jack couldn’t go low enough to get us off the ground. At that moment I couldn’t hold it back anymore, Owen stood over me as I sobbed neither of us knowing what to do. Moments later an off duty roadside assistance tech that was on his way home pulled over to offer his help. He told us that he could get our wheel back on. As he worked a cops pulled over because they received a 911 call saying “there was a man standing over a distressed woman”. They quickly realized what was happening and stayed to make sure we had everything we needed. Based on the damage it was clear that our lug nuts were not tightened down, and the damage appeared to be mostly to our rotor and wheel studs. After the man put our wheel back on he checked all the other lugs he told us that we could drive on the damaged brakes but they needed to be fixed ASAP. We thanked him with a bottle of bourbon and he went on his way leaving us to wait for a tow. Not 5 mins later the towing company called to tell us that they could not tow us because we were classified as a camper. With that we decided to limp back to Orlando on our own.
Luckily we made it back safely. We're so lucky no one else was hurt by our wheel or swerving vehicle. We're lucky to be safe. We're lucky that our home didn’t sustain sever damage to her body. We’re lucky because it could have been so much worse. Everything that was damaged is either replaceable or fixable.

This past week Owen and I sat down to look for a picture and remembered that we had yet to share our favorite images from 2017. We know, we know...we're about five months late getting this posted, but better late then never right?

For the past six months our lives have been completely consumed by building out Amelia. We're so thankful to have had you guys with us every step of the way with suggestions and words of encouragement! We've received a ton of really great feedback from you all about how much you enjoy watching the build process so I thought that as our build is drawing to a close we could point you in the
