Fast forward three years to 2019. Our kids are all healthy, happy, and active so family time can be elusive. I am nothing if not a family man and want to spend as much time with Keli and the kids as we can, especially at this age. My Grandma and Grandpa Keyes owned multiple campers over their lives and I was always fascinated by them. My lovely bride on the other hand was much more a resort or condo girl. That was until she had to do some tent camping with Cub Scouts. It only took two or three campouts until she was on board with the camper. :)
Last month we purchased our first travel trailer and we both want to document the amazing adventures we plan to have with our now 10, 7, and 5 year old children! As I am writing this Keli doesn't even know I am going back to our old blog, but if KeyesWindingRoad isn't still the perfect blog title, I don't know what would be!
In all seriousness, I have a burning desire to see our country and to take my family with me. Here I sit, 42 years old, and have never seen the Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, Yosemite, New York, most of the great lakes, the Redwoods, Mt. Rushmore, and so so much more. I plan to change that and share it all with my family. Being two teachers has some benefits and some drawbacks. Our chosen profession provides a good amount of time each summer to travel but also a limited budget. The irony. That is where the trailer will be so wonderful. The itinerary for year 1 is set but I am already thinking ahead to years 2, 3, 4, and more!
Our first big trip will wind all around Lake Eerie, include some baseball (duh), some dear old friends, some great newer friends, a national park or two, american history, natural wonders, and most importantly memories to last a life time. Please join us if you wish, even if only through the blog.
