Babylon by Bus

IRIE!

Ahhh… Here I sit, fire going in our woodstove, it is about 40 degrees in Sunny Northern Florida! We have been at Spirit of Suwanee since 12/23 or as I like to say Christmas Eve, Eve

It’s a great place here, the amount of land they have along the Suwanee River is amazing! Hiking trails, Cypress Trees, A wonderful place for the many music festivals they put on here. www.musicliveshere.com

Anyone passing through with kids should check out the Kids Music Camp beginning 2/5 running through 2/7, I believe

Very Peaceful here, we are very much left alone, which is perfect. hehe, For me anyway FOR THE LOVE OF SOLITUDE!

Our Christmas was content and joyful, we have a wire lit tree we put up inside on our table, Santa left presents around the tree for us all, even a RV water filter! Santa ROCKS! I just don’t know how he fit down that skinny chimney we have? hehe

Things are great, all are getting along well, Sage made some friends, he is out playing now, which is fun for all of us!

The restrooms are clean here, not cozy but, clean- Great for a festival. The nicest restrooms we have had so far was at Duncan Family Campground in Washington D.C.! Hey when you live on the road and the only space you may get is in the shower, the cozier the bathrooms the better! Especially for us mommies!

We left NJ after visiting family for 3.5 months on Dec. 18th, Hard to believe we have only been gone like 11 days or something. It is is even hard to believe we were there living in the bus at my mothers even for so long. It was a good beginning however, as we as a family that have just renounced our whole life, all our belongings, our friends, our everything material… We were all going through our own emotions. Nj was much needed.

Now, we are ready to roll! Roll on!

Some Events Since we have been back on the road:

Washington DC, Did the sites and the Smithsonian! Best FREE vacation ever! Great for homeschooling the kids! Do not drive thru DC without stopping at least 3 days!

We were cold, so blew straight thru to Fla, When we got here….

Chelsea was in extreme ear pain, so thankfully the town had kicked in to help us get her to and from a doctor! So sweet of all involved! and a nice family also brought us canned goods to donate to our “unemployed” selves.

Thank you Specifically to: Annette, Genie, Bob (Country Cab), Caroline, Linda~ You all showed us true humanity and love.

Now, for today

Off to a shower, Friends are pulling in soon and camping next to us for a few days, can’t wait, will be so fun, and a little birdie tells me my brother I have never met is coming to see me today! I am very happy today!

On the Road Again

The rubber highway calls our names, begging the wheels of the beast to roll down it once more

The air becomes brisk and cold, as the sky at the Jersey Shore resembles the gray ocean that stretches to the horizon

~3.5 months since we have pulled up, and surprised mom! The tears of joy when I came, I am sure mirrored the tears of joy when we left! My mother had provided a perfect place for us at a perfect time! A haven! Thank you Mother. We had still been living in the bus but, have had it stationed in the yard of her house for ease of us visiting, finances, etc.

We had a chance to visit with friends and family, eat our favorite Jersey Shore treats and now are on our way to enjoy our Christmas in Fla!

We are currently heading into Savannah, GA today, to finish up some Christmas Shopping, Laundry, Groceries and yes, my damn nails! I hate doing them! if I do not get them done tho, I will bite them! nervous habit!

We will talk to you soon frown www.musicliveshere.com
