st. george fancy pants trick-or-treating.
a few months and states ago (march/california), we happened to be in the same campground as another fulltime traveling family that i followed on instagram, and we became fast friends with them. at that point, they were considering settling for a bit, and when we departed to head up the coast, they actually did just […]
pumpkin patch extravaganza.
