With Over 100 Sandy Beaches, All Within a Short Driving Distance, Where Would You Spend Your Weekends?

in #freedom7 years ago (edited)

You know you are free when you can go
where ever you please and
still feel at home.



'That's easy' you say, 'your house has wheels!' Well, yes!
that helps, but I think it's our attitude towards life that helps
us feel Free, for example, we have only been in
Portugal for 5 minutes, and we already
feel perfectly at home.

We just made a deal!

We are going to the beach every weekend
from now until we leave Portugal.

That is, if we leave :)

We love this life and truly believe we are very close to absolute freedom
we go where ever we please and somehow
everything seems to fall into place.

Not long ago we were worried about the CPS and how we
would make it all work in a strange country.
Now all we worry about is all the sand in the bed!.



Last week at the beach.

So I hope you don't mind but from now on, this is
going to become a weekly feature on our blog.



Peace and love to the World.

A weekend of beaches all sandy to play
Honey where do you say we go now today?
Our house of wheels and wind at our back
We drive off to freedom to our luggage we pack
A bird that was broken unable to fly
we find now can swim and wonder now why?
A life for which every day falls into place
Now graces our lives and brightens our face
And sand in the bed and children so glad
bloggin each week. Heck life sure an't bad!

Thanks for sharing my friend. Enjoy the poem!

This is wonderful!

I would love to see this each week on your blog mate! I am such a lover of the sea...The last month, I went nearly 6 times! Twice in the afternoon with the family and 4 times at night for fishing!
Wonderful photography! Amazing place!

That's great @progressivechef!

We love the beach, and the kids are in heaven, they play for hours on end with no cares in the world.

amazing place. I'd like to be there :)

Wow amazing! Love your camper :)

it's petty amazing photography, i like your sanday beaches photos

Hi @markwhittam, it is great to see you guys having such a wonderful time out there. I'm a little jealous because we're back in Ireland after such an amazing time in Portugal. Even though Steemfest was the main reason for me feeling that way, we also fell in love with the country and its people. Lisbon is now on top of my list of favorite cities: what a great place. I've had little glitches of feeling down a bit due to having to start 'the normal life' again with people bothering us and interfering in our business when all we really want to do is go our own way. I can't call it depression, because after such an experience I can only be happy and feel blessed that I was there and was able to feel and experience it, but that makes the situation here a real downer. However, your stories keep me motivated to think on the bright side, because I know you've been through so much so quickly, and to see where you are now, is beautiful.
Now, whenever I get that biting feeling that things suck for us, I just come to your blog to lift the spirits. It is not going to be like this for us forever, and now more than ever, I can feel it deep within me. Can't wait to see more of your travels. And by the way: your girls were the best example of how unschooling works, it was lovely to meet them and you. Stay free.

Thank you @misslasvegas for this touching message, we are happy that we can spread a little joy with our life and it's many adventures.

I hope that now you are back you have the energy to deal with them poking their noses in your families business, and I hope they can see your love for your children and leave you all in peace to live your life the way you see fit.

What we went through was tough but we were prepared for it and could react accordingly, I believe you are one step ahead and you have the advantage of having a support network ready to jump in and help you at the drop of a hat.

Bless.

Yes, I do have more energy to handle them. I am just trying to keep my head down, even though they bring out the worst in me with their meddling. At the moment I feel like they are making up stupid things to justify their interference, because the things they come up with are crazy. Things like: can we help you with buying presents for Christmas? (yeah, because I've never done that before, stupid little me wouldn't know how to start lol) and things like: I should get more blankets and sheets....(I don't know about you, but I can change bedsheets 4 times a day if I wanted to and we each have more than enough blankets to keep an eskimo family warm) how much bedding can one have for it to be enough? Things like that get to me and someone with less support would probably break at this point or feel very inadequate. But I know they are just pushing my buttons. But I just keep calm and let them spill their crap, knowing that in the end they're just miserable because they could never lead the life we chose for us, being stuck in the Matrix. And yes, I feel blessed every day for having such wonderful support and steemit has been a blessing more than anything. That and my children are what keeps me going.

That is awesome. I love that you move around and your kids probably enjoy that. It probably makes them the best of friends with each other, even though they probably still argue about some stuff. :) Your home on wheels looks so nice and so does Portugal! I haven't ever been there, but maybe I'll put it on a list of future places to visit. Going to a different beach every weekend sounds amazing. I hope you can accomplish that goal! :)

That's soooooo beautiful!
Do you use Discord by any chance @markwhittam?

From the freezing cold UK this is a welcome, and tempting view. Lovely beach and how amazing you were able to help an injured bird. Is that a modified mobile home? It looks like it might be a van conversion - or was it originally built for the purpose? Amazing stuff, I'm glad I found you thanks to @fulltimegeek

Some lovely shots here, enjoy family time :)

Excellent, my friend. Mad love and support to you and your family!

This blog was written in an admirable spirit of life, I'm glad to see that there are people who can enjoy this kind of freedom and that they are able to share it as a family. Seeing things like this fill me with hope for a world seemingly gone mad! 😎

Epic shots Mark!!
It is so wonderful that these young ones get to experience so much beauty of the world.

This reminded me of my childhood!
I grew up in Huntington Beach. My mom did home daycare. My younger brother and I where around a lot of other kids my age.
Mom would bring all the kids to the beach just about ever other day! 😊

So glad y'all have found such a beautiful space to enjoy your freedom. We are at the mouth of a river in Belize, and I love that my kids play in sand and rocks every day and in the river or sea several days each week. It's a beautiful life!

So epic! Portugal would be an amazing place to hang at the beach!
