With our van packed and ready...we hit the road.
Gear underneath and bed on top. We have 4 inches of memory foam to sleep on and just enough room undereath for our clothes, backpacking gear, climbing gear, skateboards, food, pirate's stuff, and a few other random things.
The first stop on our trip was Charleston, SC where Rebecca's mom, step-dad, and youngest sister, Katie, live.
The weather was sunny but a bit chilly, so Pirate got to break in her new fleece. Tucker's black fur was enough to keep him warm.
The day after we arrived Katie had off from work, so we planned an epic day. First, we took Pirate, Tucker, and a friend's dog, Mable, to this little beach area near downtown so they could run and play.
Tucker is an expert hole digger.
Next, we went to James Island where there is a park with an outdoor climbing wall. The wall is about 70 feet tall, which is about double the height we are used to climbing at the Chapel Hill Community Center.
Here is Rebecca warming up on something easy.
The girls went to "Bottles 'n Brushes" on Wednesday night. You get to drink wine and someone shows you how to paint a different scene or object each night. Their night was a sunset marsh scene.
Next we are off to the Bradenton/Tampa area of Florida to stay with Rebecca's dad and see some of my college friends.

Nice! Van looks great, and how fun to have a pup on board for the ride. I just did one of those painting classes here in Asheville and loved it! Would like to do one with my mom and sis at some point too!
Keep on keepin' on and thanks for the update, buddy.
