Panorama Farm, Virginia

ODOMETER: 77,955 | MILES TRAVELED: 10

 

by Grant

Halloween and a full moon! We saw some hot air balloons rise above the chilly early morning mist on the farm. There were more runs to storage today, a much needed propane gas fill up and a few catch-ups with friends before we head north tomorrow. Jack played his last soccer game with his team, Cville United. He scored a goal and they won, which was a great finish to their season.

This would be a our last night in Charlottesville for the foreseeable future and as much as we felt ready for this transition there still felt like so much to do and the open road felt so far away.

Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!

Today, as you begin your twenties, we want to pause and celebrate the beautiful human you are. Your authenticity is a light, shining through in everything you do. You live your truth with a courage that inspires all of us. Your creativity is captivating, lifting the spirits of those who witness it. We admire your dedication to your own art and your profound connection to music, film and art in all forms.

Your unwavering selflessness, kindness and compassion are strengths that move quietly but profoundly, touching lives in ways you don’t always realize. The warmth and care you extend to others is a true reflection of your being. It’s a gift to watch you uplift those around you, always consciously mindful, always compassionate.

As you continue on your artistic journey, know that we are with you, supporting you always. We believe in your art, unlimited by commercial constraints and free from the mainstream’s narrow definitions of success. Your authentic vision, your voice, and your perspective are important and needed in this world.

Keep following your passions. Keep being you—because who you are is truly a gift to this world. Here’s to more years of creativity, joy, and the pure expression of your true self.

We love you so much, Jack. Happy 20th Birthday!

With all our love and admiration,

Mum & Dad
