Before starting on our Crazy Family Adventure I had anxiety over this. What the heck were we going to do on days when we weren’t out exploring or traveling? When your kids are home 24/7 there is a lot of downtime during full time travel. What the heck were we going to do with that time?! *This post was written back in 2016 after we had been full time RVing with our 4 kids for almost 2 years* Funny thing is downtime during full time travel is very similar to what it is like in a house. Except we are probably outside more. Other then that the time is filled with playing at the campground – eithe ..read more

Glacier National Park is filled with miles of trails and amazing hikes to do with your family. What we loved about them is most of them had an end point: a lake, waterfall, or a cool overlook.

It was hard to rank this list because every hike was so unique and beautiful, but here is our list of the best hikes in Glacier National Park with kids or without! Things To Know ***PLEASE NOTE – Glacier National Park has started requiring a reservation and a ticke ..read more

We have been traveling full time in our RV since May 2014 with our 4 kids and 2 dogs. Everyone kept telling us about all the cool things to do in Glacier National Park so we knew we needed to check it out! Always be sure to check the Glacier National Park website for any closures and to confirm the Going To The Sun Road is open – we highly recommend going to Glacier when the road is open and it normally doesn’t open until later in the summer (usually in late June sometimes as late as July. So going later in July or in August/September are great months to go).  ***PLEASE NOTE – Glacier Nat ..read more

1. Leaving Family and Friends We wrote a dedicated post on this one (The Hardest Thing About Life On The Road) and this still is and will always remain the #1 thing we hate about full-time family travel. It is definitely something we question. Living nomadically was never in our plans, then all of a sudden, it was. The thought of leaving our friends and family behind made us sick to our stomachs. Yet once we had this idea in our head we knew we would regret it if we didn’t try. I wouldn’t say that over the years it has gotten easier, but I will say we have gotten more used ..read more

We were all super excited about it coming home for a few months. We had plans pretty much every weekend we were back and actually ended up coming back a few weeks early since in the end we felt like we were just trying to find things to do before coming home. **This post was originally written back in 2016 after we had been on the road full time RVing for a couple of years** It was so great to see family and friends and we were constantly busy getting together with people and doing the things we love to do in Kenosha. Experiencing this lifestyle has shown us what truly amazing friends we have ..read more
