Happy Thanksgiving

As the night settled over our little corner of van life community, a warmth enveloped us, not just from the crackling fire but from the shared spirit of Thanksgiving. On my property, a diverse group of van lifers gathered, each bringing a unique story and a spirit of gratitude.

The centerpiece of our unconventional feast was a turkey cooked in a way that connected us to the earth itself. Slow-roasting beneath coals, the savory aroma filled the air, echoing a symphony of anticipation. Laughter and joy intermingled as we shared stories and bonded over the nomadic lifestyle we had chosen.

The highlight of the evening wasn't just the traditional dishes but the unexpected delight of special brownies that added a touch of merriment to our celebration. As we savored the delicious turkey quesadillas, the camaraderie around the fire grew stronger, fostering a sense of family among those who had chosen the road less traveled.

Under the starlit sky, we found ourselves immersed in a tapestry of gratitude, appreciating the simplicity of our communal gathering. Conversations flowed freely, echoing tales of the road, and the shared struggles and triumphs of our unconventional lives.

The night was more than just a celebration; it was a reminder that Thanksgiving transcends the conventional trappings. It's about coming together, appreciating the present moment, and finding joy in the shared experiences of a diverse community brought together by wanderlust.

As we sat around the fire, under a sky illuminated with stars, our makeshift Thanksgiving served as a testament to the richness found in unconventional connections, and the beauty of creating a home wherever the road takes us.
