I guess once you've had a chance to go over all your journals, etc., a book is not too far behind? :) Btw, I so agree with you about "the stressed out, impatient, impersonal approach to life" in the DC area, but don't know how to escape it. It's almost unavoidable ... having a job, keeping up with it, and trying to make enough to pay the bills. {sigh} If you ever figure out the secret to get away from it all here, let us know, Bobby!

I wanted to thank you for letting us peer into your life! As usual I feel small pangs of watching others do things I wished I was doing. However, I couldn't have picked a better family to follow! You guys are awesome and it is great to know you're back "In town". We'll let you unwind, but soon you'll need to get off your lazy bum and come visit us at our new place! Yeah, I know it requires time on DC Roads, but it will be worth it. For me at least! Welcome home Welsh's and see you soon. -Eddie Simply Awesome…

It is absolutely true about the mentality you achieve on the road, or on vacation or visiting outside of the DC area for that matter. You're more laid back, slower, not as rushed and the people are so much nicer too. I'm glad you all are back safe and sound and full of new ideas and memories. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes: "You never really leave a place you love...part of it you take with you..leaving a part of you behind" After just getting back from our trip to Maine, it is a challenge to come back to VA/DC.

You've opened a door to new ideas, friends, places, and attitudes. None of you will ever forget the amazing year you spent on the road, especially Elise. I meet people in their 60s all the time who rave about the year they spent traveling with their parents when they were kids. The impact is greater than you think. Savor it, and we'll see you again soon. It isn’t over … it’s just paused. You’ve opened a door to new ideas, friends, places, and attitudes.

I'm sad, but understand. Your family is a true inspiration; your gumption will continue to serve you well. I, too, have learned through your journeys. I will continue to keep your blog as a "favorite" for times when I need to see our beautiful country, when I need to read good and funny accounts of travel, and for when I need to remember that all things are possible.
