Documentation of our travels around North and South America.
We planned this trip months ago when we were in the roasting heat of Bali. “Being cold sounds nice!” we thought to ourselves. “Yeah let’s do it!” Little did we know, the week we planned for Wisconsin would have the COLDEST temperatures on RECORD! The Polar Vortex. The Frozen Blast. The Ice Age. All names … [Read more…]
Going back to Rainier was on our list since we visited back on our National Park tour in 2016. There is something magical about that mountain that just pulls a person! The weather was awesome and the crew we went with was even better! We spent our time there with Madison’s mom and her sister. … [Read more…]
My family has been “visiting” Chicago for over 20 years (one time, we even rode our bikes there… from IDAHO). We spent a considerable amount of time there for my younger sister Halle. She needed some specific medical attention and her team was based in the Windy City. In fact, our family of 6 lived … [Read more…]
After we graduated from college and went on our 59 National Parks tour, people said, “well it’s good you’re traveling and doing all this before you have to get real jobs and have kids.” Then we got pregnant while on the road and had Theo and people said, “well at least you’re traveling with Theo … [Read more…]
Our good friend Sean called us up and told us he was rolling into “our neck of the woods”. He asked if we had been out to see the elephant seals, and I have to be honest, I didn’t even know that was a thing. Apparently, during January and February, hundreds of seals come to … [Read more…]
I can’t think of anything more I want this season, than to love and be loved. When everything is boiled down, that is the most important ingredient of a well-lived life. Last year while living and traveling in our beloved RV we learned a lot of things. Those of you who have followed our journey … [Read more…]
When we have to really get to work, I need to be in what we like to call “attack position”. Madison always laughs at me when I say that, but I am 100 percent serious. I can’t be effective while lounging on the couch with my laptop on my belly. The only thing is, we … [Read more…]
So, this post has been LONG anticipated. We have been working out kinks in our internet set up for a while now, and finally feel comfortable with how the pieces are all working together. Internet is almost as important to water for us. Whenever we look for places to park the two questions are 1.) … [Read more…]
When we walked off the dock coming back from Dry Tortugas National Park, it was a very surreal moment. We had just completed the goal that we had been working towards for almost 3 years! We made it to all 59 National Parks! We were beyond happy, but at the same time, we walked off … [Read more…]
Road lifers often have gypsy souls. If you have seen Into the Wild, you are aware of the two categories – leather tramps and rubber tramps. The former type wanders on foot and the latter wanders behind a wheel Sometimes it’s awkward when we’re sitting inside the RV and we hear people outside talking about us … [Read more…]
