We've been traveling for 3 months today!

The first week had some teary goodbyes and we worked in Maryland, near west Virginia and stayed in a crappy hotel with nothing near it.
Poor poor choice but the sunsets were pretty and the first weekend we went back to near where my mom lives for the weekend to celebrate her birthday and visit the family

The following week we were in Cumberland Maryland, back at the nowhere hotel. The dogs hogged the bed, I got a pink Mohawk and found a local hairdresser who had now turned into a friend ( yay!) And we went back to VA for the weekend again to do nails with my niece and have a bonfire with the fam.

The next weekend we rounded back to near my parents for a little bit of home, we found ourselves did a lot of back and forths in December because we didn't want to miss anything with the Nieces and nephews. We got to sirens some time with our grand niece, Liberty, made a holiday train with my 10 year old niece Lia that was complete with a beer tent and we snuck in a quick family game night and got to see my girl sing a solo in the church holiday program.

Were making sure to have a pretty even mix. He's working Monday through Friday from 6ish to 3-4ish and I'm working my business from wherever 'home' is at the moment but online instead of out and about. I usually get 2-3 hours a day in and try to see what's around while I'm walking the dogs.
We reserve weekends to see more of whatever I've found during the week. It's staying lighter later now so we're squeezing more in through the week and not going home as much on weekends.

We are having a blast!

After Ohiopyle, we needed a break and I was missing my kid who moved to Arizona almost a year ago so we met some friends in Vegas and had kid #1 and his partner drive up to meet us.

We found a super sweet suite, ate all of our favorite foods, went clubbing every night, explored the hotels, saw Freestyle Love Surpeme while Lin Manuel Miranda was with them (!!!), and relaxed while we dumped the pups with a sitter for the week.

They weren't happy with us when we got back so of course the best course of action to stop your humans from leaving again is to sit on them 😆

I caught covid in vegas so I stayed locked in my cousins basement for a week while dh went off somewhere to not be near me. Miserable.

The next week we were in Cumberland, MD and found my fav airbnb of all time. We earned in and dh said it looked like I had decorated it.
We snuck in a date night and had dinner out and then played board games before bed. It was SO nice to feel like we were just at home for a week. I was so sick of doordash that I cooked everyday and we even had a woodstove and two record players. I read a few books, became friends with the homeowner and worked on retiling her backslash for her and got to know the neighbors some.

I'm literally counting down until we can go back to this house again

We went straight from Ohio to Baltimore where I apparently only took one picture and then because we were so close to family we snuck to Richmond for the day to celebrate my youngest nephews 16th birthday at top golf and then to take my bestie and fam to dinner for her birthday and to visit some neighbors that we really, really miss.

Dh stayed that weekend with the pups while I ran away to relax again, this time with 2 of my cousins and some of their friends. We found a fun airbnb in shenandoah, va with a hot tub, sauna, and gyroball, so we ran off and just spent a few days hanging out. We danced at the moose lodge Thursday night and had a bonfire. We slept in Friday morning, watched a movie, went to Cooters garage and the Dukes of Hazzard museum, then back to the Moose lodge for karaoke, then Saturday I did lingerie fittings, boudoir photos for everyone, a PR party, and we used the sauna and hot tub and we headed back Sunday morning. Just what I needed !

This week we're in Baltimore again and had to move houses because someone rented the one we were in for one night minutes before we logged on to extend. This house is fine, the beds are comfy and the owners met us here with a basket of snacks and dog treats. They loved the pups so that was nice.

We've been in the Canton area so we're exploring happy hours. We have a deal that we order food and drink from the happy hour menu and the only rule is that we try something new at each meal.
I had an orange crush and then a strawberry lemonade one and had a massive allergic reaction (oops), we had really good Irish coffees in wine glasses, I tried a dive bar version of crab Mac and cheese that tasted like a grown up tuna helper (in a good way), we've sampled just about every pastry from Vaccaros, and timing worked out perfectly and we were able to go to the inner harbor area to see a friend perform at hard Rock.



We took a long walk by the water yesterday and the neighborhood we are in is beautiful but apparently all that is in videos.

I also met a neighbor when the fire department was on the next block and we were being nosy so we're going to meet up for walks this week. That's a win for me!

Whew, that was a lot- I'm going to try to use this as a reminder to take a few pics along the way.

So far the pros are that we're having a ton of fun and exploring so many different places.

Cons she hotels in general. Blah. We've been using airbnb instead but then we're losing points for fun trips so we are working on finding a balance. It's also anxiety inducing to not know exactly what a house will be until we check in but so far it's nothing we haven't been able to handle.

I need to not eat like I'm on vacation so much, I've put on a couple of pounds but im getting better at adding a VR workout to our walks and at least doing a short yoga routine every other day or so. I finally am starting to get a good daily schedule down so I should be settling into the chaos soon.

It looks like we will be in Baltimore for 2 more weeks so this is a long stretch for us!

I'll do something fun this week and try to remember to take pics 😆😆
