September 5, 2023 – Traveling With Rich & Julie

Winters in Ohio are just too cold.
We moved into an RV in April 2022 and have been traveling around America full-time ever since. We come home to our daughters’ house in Ohio to see family when the weather is nice. We don’t like the bitter cold of Ohio winters, and it isn’t feasible to live here in the RV during the cold months. So usually, by the end of October, we are heading south somewhere warm.
Once my torn meniscus is fixed on September 13th, the surgeon said I should be able to walk within 7 to 10 days without pain. I sure hope so, because we are itching to leave and go places. For Rich and I, it is definitely the sense of excitement, possibility, and adventure that drives us to migrate. For our daughter and her family, they are sad when we leave and miss us terribly.
I always send the kids postcards from the places we visit and they love getting them in the mail. We video call a lot so we get to see the ones we miss regularly. Is it bad that Rich and I would rather be traveling and exploring and don’t miss them as much as they miss us?
From Ohio, the plan is to head to Alabama this year. We are scheduled to be in northern Alabama for the month of November, and southern Alabama for December. October will be exploring on the way down.
January, February, March, and April are still a mystery so be sure to follow along with us as we explore America.
