We were blessed with an amazing sleeper from day 3. We escaped all the dreaded sleepless nights or reversed nights and days. She has basically slept through the night or only woken up once or twice to eat since she was born. Additionally, BB’s Nana and Tata spoiled her at a young age with a…

Day 7: We made it!!
We arrived in Juneau, AK at 4:15 a.m. and we were off the ferry by 4:25. We checked into the extended stay and rested up before really starting our day. Around 11 we decided to stop being bums and go figure stuff out. We went to find our storage unit and planned to put a…
Day 6: And we’re cruisin’
What made our ferry more like a cruise were the 4 stops before our stop. The 1st stop was Ketchikan, AK. At this stop we were given about 2 hours to get off and explore. We were happy to get our feet on dry land, stretch out, and R could hardly contain her excitement to…
Day 5: 5 months and sea sick
When planning the trip we realized that BB was going to turn 5 months old while we were on the hobo cruise. This made me a little sad knowing we would be in the middle of a huge move with a lot of commotion going on and I was afraid we would forget and lose…
Day 4: All aboard the Hobo Cruise
In the morning we took our sweet time getting up. We slept in as long as BB would let us and we just played and spent time together. It was decided that we were all going to take good showers before we got on the ferry because we weren’t sure what the shower situation would…
Day 3: Are we there yet?
The third day was our shortest drive, and thank goodness for that! We were all done being cooped up in the car and we were ready to stretch our legs and run free. We decided to take it easy in the morning and not rush ourselves hoping to miss most of the morning rush. Than…
Day 2: You live and you learn
After a long first day of travel D and I promised to learn from the day before and not let it happen again. We were planning a 9 hour leg of the trip that day and we couldn’t let the dog, us, or BB get worn out. We set off around 9 to try and…
Day 1: Off like a hurd of turtles
We started our day…like… well a Hurd of turtles. The previous night we stayed with D’s parents since our entire house was packed up. It was nice having that extra time with them before heading off on our new adventure. At 6 am we got up with BB and started to get the car 100%…
New chapters
Every time I think of the phrase new chapter it doesn’t seem to fit how this one has transitioned yet. I think a better way to think about it is like a new book or even in terms of tv the new episode where they recap what has happened already briefly. Maybe it is just…
The Adventure
As of today, February 26th the adventure looks like this. D, R (Ruby – the dog), BB (Baby Bean – our daughter) and I are packing up the car and driving up to Bellingham, Washington to catch a ferry to our new home. D keeps joking that BB is going to start teething on our…
