Looking Back

Almost three months of being with Nick and Whistler every waking moment together has slowly come to its end. The moment we road our bikes into Sarasota we new that we had accomplished something many only dream of and something others would never dream of. We rode our bikes more miles than  we would have ever imagined doing in a short amount of time, we traveled into areas the three of us have never seen before, maybe not even realizing these places existed, these people existed.
To know we are finished with our riding and tomorrow we can sleep in rather than race the clock getting up and on our bikes, is a moment of asking ourselves which we would rather be doing. We looked at each other and both said if we could we would continue biking all over the world. However; life is right here in front of us and reality is too, so as for now we will enjoy our next few days with our family before flying back to Hawaii, back to life, back to reality.
Our trip will remain in our hearts and will become a part of conversation for the rest of our lives. Nick and I will forever be telling Whistler about special moments we experienced and moments he experienced himself. Even though Whistler may only be on his way to 2 1/2 years old, we both strongly feel he will carry this journey along with him as much as we will.
No amount of words can truly describe how we feel inside,  not even the pictures that have filled our cameras full can show all of you the way we experienced the world ourselves.

  1. What an impressive accomplishment! But I know that you didn't do it just to "accomplish something", but to have the shared, incredible experience. Yes, you'll have it forever. How cool is that!

    I'm so glad you made it safely and so proud to have gotten to be part of your trip's beginning.Be sure and step into the Atlantic before you leave; you definitely have to say that you biked ocean-to-ocean!

    Much love to you all!
