Travel Day: Charlottesville to Fairfax, VA

ODOMETER: 78,048 | MILES TRAVELED: 109

 

by Grant

We awoke in the warm and cozy confines of Thelma and did our final runs to the house and storage. Stand-up paddle boards loaded, bikes on the rack and the Jeep hitched to the back of the bus, we finally hit the highway mid-afternoon and headed north.

First stop, Northern Virginia for a catch up with Maggie, the kids’ beloved babysitter from when they were little, and now a great friend to all the Gamble Family. We parked in a Walmart parking lot for the night for an easy drive to a Monday morning orthodontist appointment to have Jack and Ellie’s braces removed and complete the fresh start.

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!
