Birthday’s Vegas Style!
One of the biggest questions we received from our curious friends and family when we sold everything was how, when, and where we would see our adult children. While neither Andrea nor I knew for sure what our family get togethers from that moment on would look like, we can happily report after three years of full time travel our time together is so much fun and new for everyone!
A Holiday Letter from Our Family to Yours
We want to wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This year our family will be celebrating separately for the first time ever.
The Big 50 and Family
When we drove away from our community for the first time, Andrea set an intention that every year we would find a place where our friends and family could gather with us. These would take place somewhere new each year. A place none of us had been before. Where we would be free to create new memories without previous experience or expectations for comparison.
Naked What?
We thought it was time we shared how “Naked Acres” came to be and why it has become our summer resting place.
Love, Laughter, and Healing
What we did not know or expect was how this theme of celebrating a life lost, would open doors to healing conversations that were desperately needed.
Family bonds were strengthened, new friends became “chosen family” and the tears of open, honest communication were followed by hearty laughs throughout the night.
Why We Share Our Story?
After a year of learning, laughs, mistakes, memories, smiles, tears, and above all, love, we thought it might be a great time to share why we chose to tell our story in the first place.
Until We Meet Again
The past couple weeks we have been a bit quieter than normal on social media as we have been dealing with the loss of a family member.
Andrea’s father, Ed “Pops” Skinner passed away and onto a better place over the weekend.
Where will the Kids Call Home?
During our planning and preparation for life on the road this was a question we struggled with.
Where would our children go for the holidays? To have a home cooked meal, a bed with extra pillows, and just to be comforted by the love of mom and dad?
This is Where the Story Begins
It was here in nature the idea of full time RV life got it’s roots. As our kids we leaving home, and the nest was emptying, we craved more. The story begins here..
