"The things you own end up owning you"- Tyler Durden
5 weeks on the road..sorta. The last week we had a couple days at home before ending the trip in Idaho. I was VERY tempted to head north to Canada.
Being home now for a solid week has given me time to think a lot about our trip and how we are living our lives. I have some major changes to make, at home, at work, and at play. We can all live with a lot less. This world makes us all believe we need things to be happy. I house full of crap that we don't need and a job we show up to everyday to keep that crap and get more crap.
We rode our bikes more, watched zero TV, ate out less, ate dinner together as a family. We hiked to lakes instead of surfing the web. We played games together and explored new places we had never seen.
I think the biggest thing we took away from the trip was we are all happier when we haven't scheduled our lives away and we spend time with the ones we love. I can only hope for more of that precious time.
