Ashley and I spent the last four years in Newark DE, a small town probably best known as the home of the University of Delaware. Newark’s population was estimated to be around 34,000 in 2015 with total enrollment at the university topping 23,000 in 2016.

Well, for those of you who haven’t already heard, Ashley and I decided to take a grand leap of faith, purchase an RV, and travel the country for an undetermined amount of time.
