We've had the chance to see so many amazing sights in the few months we've been on the road and met a lot of great people. We have also made a real effort to stay connected to the family and friends we left back home. Sharing our experience through our photos, blog, facebook, twitter and email has been enjoyable too. However, it's hard to beat having someone show us Chicago's best pizza or talking baseball with a friend at the Louisville Slugger Museum. In the past few weeks we have made rendezvous with relatives and friends at a few of our stops, and we have plans for more such meetings. It brings an entirely new dimension to our journey and a welcome addition to our daily routine.
At our stationary home, we loved to host parties, round tables, gatherings and dinners. It was one of the things we've missed the most while on the road. Though the venue for those meetings is much smaller, it is still very exciting for us to host visitors.
The other aspect of these on the road connections that is not lost on us, is the effort and sacrifice these people have decided to make to visit us. Not everyone has 12 months of vacation time, and for someone to carve out some of their free time and spend it with us, we understand the value of that and appreciate it.
Experiencing this country with our children was our intention from the start, but having our family and friends experience parts of our journey with us is an added bonus we hadn't counted on.
