We're Off!

The great Grady adventure has begun.

The house is rented.
The RV is packed.
School started a couple months ago.

Today we said our very bittersweet farewell and headed West!  Actually we headed South, but I've always loved the sound of heading West, my favorite direction.  Every great expedition should embark westward.  The blog was named Sunset Chasers for a reason.

We drove from my dad's house in Lakehurst to Mechanicsville, VA to visit with Aunt Joyce for a few days. From here we're not sure where we're going next, Lisa said "where the weather suits our clothes".  I love that idea.

I'm not sure if we're going to use this blog or facebook or google+, but we'll be updating anyone who is interested with news, pictures, a map, and even some travel journals from the kids.  We'll get that all sorted out in the next couple of weeks.

To everyone who helped us and prayed for us along the way, thank you so much.  We truly appreciate our wonderful family and friends, we'll miss you all.  Please email us and keep in touch. Or, if you live along our route or can find your way to somewhere along our path, please come visit us or we'll come visit you.

God Bless you all and keep us in your prayers,

Larry, Lisa, Joshua, Caleb, and Selah

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

"where the weather suits our clothes"
