It’s been hard to put words to screen the last few weeks, the days have been full and our service spotty to non-existent, but here goes a catch-up.

We spent almost the entire month of December at Sara and Travis’s new home in Belle Chasse, LA. Situated south of New Orleans on the bank of the Mississippi River, it was wonderful to feel the comfort of their new place. Located on a quiet street, and just a few miles from the base and school it will be their home base for the next few years.

We spent our days traveling around getting a feel for this area of the south, filling our bellies with amazing food and our hearts with memories. The boys are settling into their new school, there is a smoothie place right down the block they can reach on their bikes, and the neighborhood is safe for exploring.

As always, it was hard to leave. But we set out with the Dodge pulling a car trailer with things both Lisa and Sara had stored for us and headed for points West a few days before New Years’. It’s time to find a place to land.
