Moving out of state for school means A LOT of road trips to visit family. Having a son of my own, I’ve realized that although grandma and grandpa enjoy my husband and I visiting, the real reason they look forward to our visits is seeing our son. This…
Last summer, our family set off on an adventure! We bought an RV, loaded up our four young boys, and hit the road traveling nearly 5,000 miles over 4-weeks. If it’s any indication that I loved our travels, we are on the road again this summer with a…

Summer often means hitting the road and seeing some of the beautiful countryside across our great nation. Last year, we were able to visit all 10 west coast US States! We are planning a road trip again for this summer and I’m hoping to make it to Mt….
