“…It still has a lot of character. You know, that’s the best thing about doing a bus rather than just buying an RV or something…the personality and the character of it, it’s likely truly ours.”
“I think that would be the biggest thing for me- making sure we are always around other people so that she’s not only taking instruction from mom and dad and not only learning from our example, that she gets to experience life with other people.”
