I am a full time Mom. That is kinda all I ever wanted to be. I wanted the white picket fence, dog, and two kids. I pretty much got it. Some would say I did and some would say I didn't. I think it is just how you look at it. I have two grown children who are both in college now. I made some mistakes along the way raising them...some small and some big. I hope they grew up with a strong foundation in family. I married a Navy sailor when I was 20 years old and we moved to Hawaii early in our marriage. We spent the last 20+ years moving all over this country for his career. We moved 13 times and lived in 8 different states. My girls were home schooled until 10th grade with only brief periods in classes during those 10 years. I worked while my husband was in college in an Emergency Room on night shift. I began to love emergency medicine and got my EMT license in 2 states. I am a swimmer. I started swimming competitively at a young age and continued till my teen years. Later I coached, taught beginning swimming and life guarded. Now days I still swim occasionally for fitness.

I started this travel blog so I could talk about my upcoming drive across country. My oldest is transferring from a community college to a university right before I move and my youngest is moving to Florida with my husband and I. We were living in Florida when he retired from the Navy but we came home to Washington State to look for a job. We forgot how cold it can be up here and started looking for a job back in Florida. He found a civil service job and we began to prepare for our move again.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
