Ok. Maybe it's a midlife crisis coming at me Way Early or maybe it's just one of those things that has laid dormant in the back of my mind since I way really little. I have this goofy dream of owning a VW Microbus! I know - it's just goofy, but there's more. Of course, I want an older model and I would love for it to be white over lime green. I love green!
But more than the dream of owning the vehicle itself, I want the dream of the adventure!
Anyway, here are a few reasons this is becoming my dream. I want the bus in top notch shape for when we retire or even on some weekends before we retire. It gets good gas mileage, obviously that's important. It is easy to fix when it breaks. It's just an incredibly nostalgic vehicle. But most importantly, the Microbus doesn't go very fast. A max of 68 mph. That means it would be best for us to stay off of the major highways. I love the State Roads and two lane highways! That's where you get to see America! You get to meet people and find out what their life is like. You get to buy fruit from the farmers stands. You get to eat at the little restaurants where everyone knows everyone else. They all want to talk to you and see why in the world you stopped into their little town that is a total of two blocks long. I want to ride in something where the windows are down so people can see my face. I want to wake up at a little bed and breakfast and go to church in their town on a Sunday Morning. It's a wonderful fantasy! It's so easy to see the beauty of God's creation in nature (I'm excited to see more of that too), but how often do we stop to see/meet His greatest creation - His Children!
