Stories from the Vagabonds
Since 2016, we've spent nearly every winter on the road on a ski bumming tour. We've also had many excursions and backpacking / camping trips throughout the years. But it takes a long time to write things up, so these posts are just a small sampling of stories.
These blog posts are written as if we are sitting with you, by a campfire, telling a story. So much of our writing is focused on one key reader: MomJ, 1der's Mom and my awesome, most beloved mother-in-law. She LOVES to read about our journeys, and when I (1derGirl) sit down to write, I pretend she's sitting next to me, taking in every word and marveling in all of the magic that happens when we're on the road. These blogs are for you, MomJ!!! ❤️
I will also add there are two other key reader(s): us! The detail is there so when we're too old to remember everything about our adventurous life, we can read this blog and say, "OMG, this was us???" 🤣)
PS: Whenever you see a little blue bubble with three dots in it, click it — it's a pop-up footnote!
