Badlands National Park, South Dakota

by Brianna1 Comment on Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Badlands was our 9th national park and it felt like we were on Mars again! We had some serious storms on our drive into Badlands and actually got hit with another storm when we left. We drove in from 90 onto 240 towards the Ben Reifel Visitors Center. The visitors center was closed so we …

Top 5 things to do in: Black Hills, South Dakota

by Brianna2 Comments on Top 5 things to do in: Black Hills, South Dakota

After a week in the Black Hills, South Dakota has become one of our favorite states. I hate to say it, but when we first entered SD I had low expectations. Initially there’s a lot of flat farming fields. It was still pretty…but after a few hundred miles it gets old. We came over the …

RV’ing = Family time! Last year we visited Calif RV’ing = Family time! Last year we visited California where Jeffrey’s cousin and family were living in their 5th wheel. We spent 2-3 weeks touring California with them and ended up in Yosemite with 4 adults, 2 kids, a cat and a dog in our Winnebago View 😂 I’m not sure how we managed to do it, but we all got atleast a few hours of sleep that night. We’ll be heading to Montana with them soon but we’re cheating this time and flying ✈️ We don’t have kids of our own so seeing the world through their kids eyes is so magical ✨

Throwback to our first trip out west in 2020 😍 Throwback to our first trip out west in 2020 😍 This is the trip that started it all! We drove over 2,000 miles in 5 days and couldn’t fathom how all of these beautiful landscapes were in OUR country. We’ve traveled internationally before but this trip opened our eyes to see how much beauty there is here in the U.S.A 🇺🇸 We saw how beautiful it was, how small we felt, how content we were with minimal belongings and how much longer we wanted to stay.. that’s what travel does to you! “The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page” #deathvalley #roadtrip #traveling #chasingtheoceans

Well that escalated quickly 😅 we got a notifica Well that escalated quickly 😅 we got a notification early Sunday morning that an rv became available with a lot of the features we’ve been hunting for 👀 This one has a diesel generator, a flex king bed (so we can sleep together!) and a ton of convenience features that our View didn’t have. It was not in our plans to buy another RV this year but here we are! 9 hours of driving and this Navion is parked in our driveway! We’re naming her Nancy after one of the late owners of the RV. Nancy loved the RV life before she passed and her husband was excited to see the RV live on with a new family ❤️ We are so excited to see where Nancy will take us.. WE’RE BACK ON THE ROAD!! 😍 #rvlife #winnebago #winnebagonavion
2022 is already flying by! We haven’t had any ma 2022 is already flying by! We haven’t had any major trips yet this year (nor do we have any planned) but we’ve had tons of weekends filled with friends, local trips and random projects. Our big goal for 2022 was re-focusing on FIRE 🔥 (financial independence retire early) harder than we have before. This just means saving more than we normally do and doing more side hustles to generate more income. We don’t have any debt and our home is paid for so with continuing to work and save, we’re looking at 2027 for early retirement (lean FIRE). Brianna will be 32 and Jeffrey will be 39. There are some days that are harder than others, but when you’ve had a taste of bliss (pictured above), it’s worth the wait to live like this everyday! 🔥🔥🔥🔥#fire #financialfreedom #financialindependence #livelikenooneelse
