đ⨠Life on the road is more than just the highlight reel. Itâs the unscripted moments at a Little America truck stop, the shared laughter over engine noise and the unexpected adventures that truly define our journey.

Laughing, Learning, and New Friends
I went back to our three questions. Would I be learning, can we adventure, and would it be fun? It seemed like a solid yes for all three, so I agreed to go to an interview with her on her next shift.
During my meeting with the owner, Rob, it quickly became apparent that the universe had aligned our families for this summer gig.
A Texas Sized View
Was an âunbelievable or amazingâ sunset worth the risk of having âsketchyâ neighbors nearby that made us feel unsafe?
Many times, in our lives, we would have said a resounding âNOâ, not based on what we had experienced but simply based on opinions of others.

4 Steps We Took To Full Timing
In the spring of 2014, our oldest daughter graduated high school. Wasting no time, she embraced her sense of independence and adventure by moving out of our home that summer.

Here are three inevitable actions youâll be faced with on the road trip of life!
Why Did We Choose an Airstream?
The airstream creates conversations in every place we have camped.

However, in 2022, it was time to change this.
