Our first time in our camper was also the day we moved into it. We were going to practice with a pop-up first but Covid ruined that!

I have read the secret to a happy durable marriage or friendship is to dive into something new together

I think there's something to that for sure! I've heard a variety of things that stress the importance of novelty... trying new things, having new experiences, etc. I can see how this is important for long term relationships.

The tiara!!! Yes, girl! We need to normalize wearing tiaras! Loved reading about your upcoming year and all the lovely places you are going (and omg Europe!!!).

Rebecca Blackwell's avatar

Haha! Yes! We may need to get you a tiara so when we're in SoCal we can wear them together. 😂

You’re going to laugh…but I actually have a tiara! When my book club went on a cruise a few years ago, we all wore tiaras the entire cruise so we could locate each other more easily, lol!!! So yes, let’s wear them when you get here!

Rebecca Blackwell's avatar

Haha! Well, of course you do. 😂

So smart to pre-plan like that. What a reduction in time-suck and stress! I vote for normalizing tiaras as everyday wear. Looks good on you, Queen! Hey, be careful with camera gear in Amsterdam. If you haven't seen the latest Gone with the Wynn's, cautionary tale. 2026 sounds like a great year.

Rebecca Blackwell's avatar

Yes to normalizing tiaras! Although, it does get a little bit annoying after a while. 😂 Thanks for the heads up about Amsterdam. Going to look up that cautionary tale right now...

Seeing pictures of your family, I thought, “I don’t know those people, but I really like them.”

All the people in the photo would like you back.

Looks like a great plan. I love that I will get to see you again as you race toward Michigan with a stop in Santa Fe.

Rebecca Blackwell's avatar

Yes!!! I can't wait to see you in person again.

What are you dates for Paris in April? I’m considering a trip to Bordeaux for a week in April and how crazy would it be to meet up in Paris?! Also, what did you enjoy more - the fancy places or the boondocks? Also, you should do a live with your tiara 👑. Also, I’m going to have to make cookies this weekend and I’m totally blaming it on you if I eat them all in one day.

We'll be in Paris from the 9th until maybe the 13th... we'll be heading from Paris to Brussels and aren't sure of the exact dates yet. But, we'll fly into Paris on the 9th. That would be so crazy to meet up with you there!!! I SHOULD do a LIVE with the tiara. And I hope you had the best sugar hangover this weekend ever. :-)

I finally see how huge your RV is! From a European perspective this is like some famous musicians' tour bus.

Rebecca Blackwell's avatar

Haha! Yes! It's about 400 square feet of living space, which is bigger than some apartments in many cities!

I like you in a tiara 😍👸🏻 - I recommend it more often!

This post was so heartfelt and I enjoyed reading it so so much. Your recipes make regular cameos on my dinner table to a resounding delight from my family.

I could go on - can you tell I loved this post, it may be my fav (the sailboat protocol is up here too)!

You are a powerhouse of positivity and I wish you only the best in your adventures and life. Looking forward to reading and eating more from you Rebecca.
