Last week, I put together a highlight reel of all of our outdoor trips from last year, a Travel Year in Review. We travel with our little camper--our home away from home--so we go at our own pace and usually have very relaxing trips. It's so rejuvenating to get outside and spend so much time surrounded by nature; it's very peaceful and provides a lovely break from the usual busy, online life I lead. My illness did interrupt our travels a couple of times last year, which I mention in the video, but we were fortunate to be able to travel to some lovely places and surround ourselves with natural beauty.
We took six camping trips in 2024 to various state parks in Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware--mostly close to home or within an easy day's drive. We also visited some local attractions, including bookstores, a natural history museum, a historic small town, and a historic site (which we happened to visit on an important anniversary for the site). The video provides an overview of all of that, with lots of footage of peaceful nature scenes: waterfalls, forests, lakes, running streams, and gorgeous fall foliage. I hope you enjoy vicariously coming along with us.

In other news, my three-month-long relapse finally ended a couple of weeks ago! I have slowly been coming back to life, taking short walks, getting out of the house, and even seeing friends (carefully, of course).
However, being in such bad shape for so long put me way behind on ... well, everything! I'm working to catch up, so I hope to finally take a look back at my health in 2024, including what helped (and what didn't), so look for my annual health review soon.
Were you able to travel or spend time outdoors in 2024?
What are your favorite places to visit or outdoor spaces to relax?
