We are roughing it in style. Sleeping in a Prius in a Walmart parking lot really isn’t bad when you can roll out of bed and find this!

Georgia
After a night in the Car, we decided to splurge for a motel.
I loved that the free breakfast had grits instead of oatmeal (I don’t really like grits, but that’s not the point!)
Coast to Coast!
Its official, we made it coast to coast 🙂 and oh how I love a warm ocean!
Durham Civil Rights History Mural Project
So many friends, so much good work.
Sometime I sit in awe of the amazing friends I’ve collected over the years. This is Brenda not only has she brought two of my favorite people into this world, she also happens to be a talented muralist.

Vimala’s Curryblossom Café
The joy of finally eating at Vimala’s Curryblossom Cafe is great! These are truly some of the best people on earth. Vimala and her family are generous and tirelessly work for social justice.
It nourished my body and my soul to spend time with these lovely friends again.
It’s amazing how much I missed North Carolina. Mike says it’s his favorite place so far. We had to leave Duncan and his lovely family. Now we are sitting at Vimala’s Curryblossom Cafe (our new favorite place) Vimala is the mother of my dear highschool besty Manju. I was so blessed to know these beautiful people and to eat Vimala’s wonderful food. At the time she vunteered her wonderful talent to feeding people in need, now she owns a lovely Indian cafe and still feeds everyone regardless of their ability to pay. How did I stay away so long!
North Carolina
So Happy to be back in North Carolina! So many wonderful adventures with wonderful friends 🙂 What a happy vacation. It makes all this sleeping in the car worthwhile… Especially when we get to couch serf from time to time.

Yellowstone
Yellowstone was perfect. Then we got stuck in traffic as a rodeo ended in Wyoming. Now we are at a res stop with a playground. I am loving this country.
Montana
Well, we did it! So far so good. One of the benefits of not over planning a road trip is the freedom to follow any old road sign that catches your fancy… This one lead us into a very awesome cavern 🙂
Little rest stop along the way
Road Schooling
We may just be crazy enough to do this… Who wants to host this wild family and our mini RV? We made this map with all our friends in mind. Hoping to see most of you! And Vimala’s Curryblossom Café. We plan to leave tomorrow or Monday…
Our little prius is a road eater, she is so excited you can (almost) her her engine!
Any suggestions on places to stop along the way would be great. We have a limited time to make our Napa reservations… so it’s a tight trip, but we are flexible along the way.
Testing our Prius Motorhome
If you are looking for us we are traveling the world in our new motorhome. It sleeps 4 and gets over 40 miles to the gallon. The trade off is the that it’s a wee bit cramped!

Turning Art into a Toy
This was such a fun project! We actually did this last year, but I am posting it now.
My daughter drew a picture for us to turn into a little felt doll for her cousin.
I cut it out and she did most of the sewing. I’m so in love with the way it turned out.
Raw (almost) Banana Ice Cream
To me, this is haven. My family, sunshine, music and delicious vegan banana ice cream. These cones are not raw 🙂 but they are gluten-free. We make the ice cream by blending frozen bananas with some vanilla and chocolate chips. SO yummy.
After eating, our son turned his daddy into a faithful steed
Good Bye Seattle
It’s exciting to start our newest adventure, but oh how we will miss this magical backyard!
Living with two kids in a top floor apartment was so much easier when we could just hike ourselves downstairs into this wonderland of Seahurst beach and the forest!
