2023 was an amazing year of traveling for us. We started in Fredricksburg, TX on New Year's Day and ended up in Fairhope, AL where we purchased a lot that will allow us to spend our winters in a warmer climate. On May 2nd we left Fairhope, AL and our last stop before returning to Fairhope on October 24th was in Gatlinburg, TN.
