Turning sixteen seemed to mark a turning point on our trip. I had had time to relax in the house we rented, and get ready to move back into our van. A little to my surprise, I was excited to move back into our little home. I had been brainstorming new art to put up in the van, new ways to hang our fairy lights, and more convenient places to store things. I was looking forward to giving our little van a makeover and getting back on the road. Once we were back on the road, it was obvious how much more time I spent inside while living in a regular house. In the last two weeks, I had begun to lose my tan, to not get as much exercise, and the hours in the day seemed to slip away without my knowledge of where they had gone. Turning sixteen, beginning a fresh year, and moving back into our little home felt like a fresh start and an opportunity for new goals and inspirations.
