And so we come full circle

Today we listed the RV on Craigslist and Facebook. The last year has been amazing and the things we have seen and done, well, this blog has really only touched the surface of our experiences. It was funny, we took one of those Facebook poll things about national monuments and parks and things and the kids and I scored 100%, and had seen most of the ones listed, and have become intimately familiar with some and it made me feel peaceful with what we have done in this year.

For the most part, I never really believed we'd be able to keep the RV after our year of travel was up, although I would have loved it. In a fantasy world where bills aren't real and money is irrelevant to life and we have unlimited funds, I would love to keep the Bratmobile, and use it over the coming years, for things like summer vacation across country to NH and back each year, but again, the reality is, it adds time that we won't have and cost that we don't have and we really cannot justify keeping it even for once a year.

We won't be in a hurry to sell, and frankly we will ask for nearly what we owe on it and hope that someone comes close. It was a hard decision, mostly because it was a part of the family while hubby was gone and when we do finally get rid of it, I'll likely cry a little (and not from relief, I swear).  But since our family has been reunited, and I have begun seeking gainful employment, I have come to realize that we won't be able to use the RV, and paying to have it rot in a lot and never have time to travel or camp or anything would be more hurtful than getting rid of it.

So, on the market it goes, and if anyone wants to pimp our sale, feel free to share our link.  This whole thing has been a heck of a ride, and I still owe you a closing post, other than this one, but that will have to happen at another time.  Always remember the best of the ride...
