I Love...

I love road trips, I love travel, I love new places.

I love Ziggy, I love the extra adven­tures she some­times adds – like loose fuel pump ground wires. I love hav­ing an AMA mem­ber­ship, so we have a guy to call to come help us fig­ure out what on Earth just hap­pened to our van and why she just won’t go. I love hav­ing happy, laid-back peo­ple in my world, who also view these things as adven­tures, rather than problems.

I love the inter­est­ing lit­tle serendip­i­tous bits that tell us we are exactly where we are sup­posed to be – like see­ing Wolfie on the high­way on our way out of town. I love fig­ur­ing things out as we go, and I love find­ing beau­ti­ful, quiet, spots to camp in. I love the Crowsnest Pass, and I love the Rock­ies. I love see­ing a moose ran­domly walk by while I’m chop­ping veg­gies for din­ner. I love mak­ing sup­per on a Cole­man stove. I love camp­fires. I love drink­ing with friends around camp­fires. I love night pho­tog­ra­phy. I really love night pho­tog­ra­phy of camp­sites. I love watch­ing the stars. I love spot­ting satel­lites and shoot­ing stars. I love find­ing con­stel­la­tions. I love the warm cozy glow of our Westy at night. I love curl­ing up to sleep while lis­ten­ing to the water, the air, the trees, the moun­tains. I love that I can see the stars through the roof vent as I drift off to sleep at night.

I love wak­ing up to sun­shine and a soft breeze. I love toss­ing a fris­bee around in the morn­ing sun. I love french press cof­fee. I love blue­berry pan­cakes. I love wan­der­ing up ran­dom lit­tle roads, just to see what we can see. I love find­ing lit­tle trick­ling streams and white crash­ing water­falls. I love fig­ur­ing out how to get to the beau­ti­ful water­falls we can see in the dis­tance. I love strik­ing yoga poses on gigan­tic boul­ders. I love get­ting close enough to touch the water­falls. I love the mist in the breeze on sun-hot skin. I love find­ing geo caches. I love stop­ping for lunch at Black­bird Cafe in Cole­man. I love grilled cheese. I love the Cow­boy Trail.

This was our past 24 hours.

I love our life.
