While we absolutely Pennsylvania, it was a long and frustrating month of unsuccessful RV shopping. We drove through the tip of Delaware this afternoon and will be in Jersey for the next 3 weeks. We’ve actually been to Jersey before, but it was for a super fast one night stay in 2019. We were leaving the northeast after Jonah broke his arm and we had to stay put while it healed.

I am so intrigued by their simplicity, the way they walk in stride with nature and embrace it instead of fight it. I have a deep desire to photograph the beauty of the simplicity here but also understand their preference to not be photographed. Oh what an amazing story it’d be to tell through photos. So I haven’t picked my camera up much this week. We love it here. The rolling hills, abundant farmland, healthy fresh food and handmade products everywhere. Today we took the kids to a knife store, ran a bunch […]
