Year 4
​August 2020 - July 2021

Our forth year as Full Time RV'ers starts in Virginia. We have family here, and the prices are reasonable. The pandemic forced us to play it safe and not move around as much in 2020, so we feel blessed to be in a place that allows for our needs to be met both materially and emotionally.
