The Thompson’s from Washington state decided they wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle and feel free to live a more nomadic lifestyle. Turns out they loved not being tied down to any certain location more that they thought.

Mira Thompson told Yahoo Real Estate, “After living the typical fast-paced Western lifestyle, the idea of living simply and intentionally” grew on her and her husband, Jeremy. “We wanted more time to set aside for family, travel, and to live in the moment. So, after eight years together, we got married and hit the road, living nomadically for a couple of years, part of which we spent in a converted mini school bus. We fell in love with our new lives and the freedom we had found, and decided not to go back.”

After some time on the road and traveling, Mira became pregnant and decided it was time to expand their living space, but she and Jeremy were torn, loving the feeling of living in the bus and joy it brought people to see a bright yellow school bus RV. So they decided to stay with the theme. With Jeremy’s skills in carpentry and mechanics, he was able to convert a bus into a home that resembled more of a cute cottage than a bus. The bright yellow cab is connected to the home, which features a shingle frame, windows and even a flower garden.

Although the home is no longer mobile, the quaint and cozy feeling of being a close family remains. They now occupy the home with their 2-year-old daughter Carys.
