What a Freezing Night in Our Van Is Like

So what happens to our van on a freezing night?

We camped at the Virginia Welcome Center, and it was a pretty quiet night, even with the highway right there. It was warm in the back where we sleep, but up front our water froze. The thermometer down by the pipes got as cold as twenty-three degrees.

So we opened things up and pointed the heat that way, and slowly the water started dripping again. The sun came out after, and it warmed up nice. Then we made pork and shrimp dumplings for breakfast, and Spencer helped make iced Ovaltine.
