Out of all these moments came knowledge, but most of all, fun. For every teenager out there, hear me when I say this: Spending time with your family will not kill you. Only getting to see your friends over FaceTime will not make you a social pariah. Actually, going outside and enjoying nature and family time, without feeling the need to Snapchat about it 10 times, doesn’t make you weird. It helps you to be appreciative, and to live in the moment and love your life.
Some of my best memories have been spent with my family, in a town I’d never been in before, hundreds of miles from my hometown. The best Christmas of my life wasn’t the best because I got the newest iPhone or a puppy. Instead, my mom, dad, and I spent that day bundled up and ATVing through Sedona’s red rocks. Halfway through our ride, we looked up to find that a light sprinkling of snow was beginning to cover our ATV and the rocks around us.
What a wonderful and inspiring article. Way to go Haley! Not only for taking the time to write such a great article to help others understand the benefits of this lifestyle, but more importantly, for thinking outside the box. You’ll never forget or regret this time–that’s for sure. As a fellow RVer who grew up as a full-time RVer I can attest to that. Enjoy every minute! Sending SKP hugs to you and your family.
We all grow up too fast. Family time is one of those things we take for granted, until we discover too late in life that we should have paid more attention. My wife and I traveled around with our kids in an RV, and they really liked it. You can make a lot of friends that you would have never had the opportunity to meet. And with social media at everyone’s fingertips, you can stay in touch. Enjoyed your article!
My family is wanting to do A lifetime in a RV to become closer to eachother and explore the world this helped me see a positive look at it!
