It's an adventure. Our family of five is taking a year off from... the normal. Less work. More travel. Even (gasp!) homeschooling! We invite you to come along with us as we head West. Then on to Europe. Even grand times at home in between! Our goals: Rest. Connect. Experience. We hope to grow closer as a family and gain a deeper appreciation of all that God is, does, gives. Scaled back commitments. Scaled up adventure. Come along with us as the story unfolds!

On our way to France

To get from England to France, we decided to take an overnight ferry.  So we packed up from Chipping Campden, took a bus, three trains, and a taxi to get to the port in Portsmouth!  It was quite a long journey, but we survived it.  We were all very excited about riding the ferry.

The cabin rooms were tiny!  And there weren't rooms big enough for five, so we split up into two rooms.  Kevin and the boys' room looked just like our room, except there were also two pull down beds.
 As soon as we put our luggage in our tiny rooms, we went up on deck to check out the view of Portsmouth.  It was quite beautiful to be leaving at sunset!




After exploring the boat a little, having some dessert, and then loading up on dramamine, we went back to our rooms to sleep.  And the next morning, when we woke up, we were in France!
