#TinyHouse afternoon parking at Planet Fitness, while in transit from point A to B. 👌🚚🏡💨 Road trip lifestyle can make it difficult to stay fit. Junk food is all too accessible, while regular exercise opportunities are not. I’ve realized that I must make the time—prioritize my well-being. Seems like a no brainer, but it's so easy to get caught up in being busy. •

Since the beginning of the year, I have made huge effort to be more conscious about what I eat. Planning meals and tracking carbs has helped tremendously. Last year Christian and I went a little carb crazy; b/c let’s face it, cereal and pasta are cheap and easy. We have now both lost weight and feel more energetic. The other big change is making time for exercise. When I feel lazy, I keep reminding myself that I am happiest when I get regular cardio.😊

Big thanks to @enjoythejourney.today for telling me about the @planetfitness black membership! For $20/month you can use any of their 2,000+ locations with unlimited guest privileges. Also includes massage chairs. Oh la la. ✨Plus, they have showers and WiFi. I have now used over 8 locations in 5 states. It just makes staying fit and feeling good so easy, no matter where we are. #notasponsoredpost 💪

#TinyHouse travel reality: it ain’t cheap. We fill up every 2 hours, and it costs between $65-$80. 😳 We consider this our rent equivalent. Some months our “rent” is high and sometimes it’s tiny. 😉 Fortunately we can fairly precisely calculate how much we’ll spend on each leg of our trip with a fuel cost calculator (see calculator.net)— extremely helpful for budgeting. 👍#beprepared

Love waking up in our cozy bed to the smell of 🥓. One delectable side effect of parking overnight at Cracker Barrel. 😋✨ #homeiswhereyouparkit

One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things. - Henry Miller

From destination to destination during our #tinyhouse travels, there are some things that always happen: ✔️ learn something new
✔️ make a friend and/or talk to a stranger ✔️ appreciation for what makes a place distinct
✔️ experience hospitality

#TinyHouseTravel FAQ: where do you park?? 🚚🏡💨 We most frequently park in backyards and driveways found through networking or offers from strangers (who become friends). Occasionally we park at RV parks and campgrounds, like our recent stay at the Pohick Bay Regional Park. It was lovely wooded campground with fun activities (mini golf, disc golf, boating, hiking and a small water park), and it’s only 45 minutes from DC—family vacation score! 🌞

Summertime #tinyhouseliving with our 11-year-old part-timer, Garrett. 🌞That’s his loft ladder out front. We sometimes set it outside to open up our living space when he’s not using it. The remnants of our trip to the pool are on the front porch, along with our soccer ball. Times like this we are so glad we have a front porch— perfect for random play items and of course, hanging out. 👌😁
