A Good Nights Sleep

In order to answer the question, "Where do you sleep?", I have simply taken pictures of where we have slept the past couple weeks.  As it is not my habit to document our sleeping patterns, a few places are missing, and a few pictures are staged after we have cleaned up our bedding, but you will get the picture.

Most of the time our family shares a room.

Imagine sleeping bags and an air mattress for this one.

Sometimes we have more room than we know what to do with.

Sometimes we have just enough space for everyone on tour to sleep on the floor together.  This is called "mega bed".

Sometimes we sleep at a RYFO home.  They are a network of homes who purpose to support touring bands with shelter, food and prayer.

To answer a few follow up questions:

Do you take bedding with you?

We travel with our own pillows, 2 kid sized sleeping bags and a blanket.

How do you sleep on the road?

Most of the time we sleep really well, but sometimes we don't.

Have you ever slept in your car?
No, we have never slept in the car.

If you can't find a home to stay in where do you sleep?
We have slept in the back of a record shop, a bicycle shop, info shops and a restaurant.

What if you can't find a home, record shop, bike shop, info shop or restaurant to sleep in?

We hop on Hotwire and get a hotel.  This is a rare occurrence, maybe twice a year.

Who are those other people in your pictures?
Those extra people are the other musicians we are currently touring with. They are pretty great.

What is the strangest thing that has happened to you as it pertains to places you have slept on tour?

Last fall we slept at a music venue.  We packed up our things the next morning and were ready to leave when we discovered we were locked IN the venue.  We couldn't get  a hold of our friend who ran the venue so we found a screwdriver (luckily) and Kevin took off the locks so we could get out and then replaced them.
