Oh the places you'll tow (2024)

Whale watching tour 🐋✔️❤️

Our little family was made to be on the water - our boys couldn't stop smiling and laughing as we got to see the beautiful Maine and Canada shorelines, whales, eagles, seals, lobster, crab and starfish. Indy took each starfish and made sure they all made it back in the water, too. ❤️ @ Eastport, Maine

The awe-inspiring Grand Tetons 🏔️🏔️🏔️

I have never seen such a beautiful place in my whole life... Pictures CAN'T do it justice.

The sheer size and magnitude of these mountains is just staggering. We kept saying "it's just MAJESTIC"!!! And it is.

If you get a chance, this is a must see.
And as you can see, it's impossible for our boys to see water without getting in - hence Ridley in diapers and my hoodie 😂😂😂

Dubois, Wyoming!

Home of the best chicken fried steak I've ever had, one of the best lavender lattes out there, tons of sky, mountains, shrubs, mines and a cute little town with antlers galore!

And an hour away from our FAVORITE PLACE to date... The Grand Tetons! We will be sharing a lot of pictures and videos of our time at the Tetons, but here's a glimpse of the cute little town we called "home" for 3 days ❤️❤️❤️ @ Dubois, Wyoming

We got to see a few famous faces the other day!! While we were staying near Casper, WY, we looked at a map and realized we were *only* 3 hours away from Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse! ROAD TRIP!!!!! 🚙🚙🚙 Mt Rushmore was under construction (sigh) but it was still a fun day and lots of good memories were made!

Crazy Horse was crazy cool!!

We took a day trip to My Rushmore, thinking we would just take pictures of Crazy Horse as we passed, but it ended up being a beautiful, educational, awesome stop! Ridley was even able to get a rock to keep from the carving site! *
*
Did you know that the Crazy Horse Memorial doesn't receive national funding? It's paid for by admission, gift shop sales, donations and generous supporters. We had no idea! *
*
If you get a chance to visit, it was well worth the drive! 💚💚💚 @ Crazy Horse Memorial

Hiking in Boulder, CO!

Last week, we spent a few days outside of Denver, resting as we passed through. It was the first new State we have visited for 2 months and we loved walking around Boulder's downtown and hiking with the boys. We even bought local kombucha for our hike (yeah, we have turned into those people 😂🤷🏼‍♀️)

The Thomas family’s Great American itinerary did not include two months parked at a Baldwin City motel, but here they are. Before the family sold their home and most of their possessions to embark on their new nomadic life, they listed — and planned for — a lot that could go wrong. A deadly pa...

Hey guys! We made a very short tour video of our very tiny home!! If you want to check it out, click the link below! ❤️☀️✨🙌🏻

A few more Carlsbad Caverns pics before we leave this beautiful state!

Ridley fell asleep on the hike to the bottom, so "pack mule mom" carried a sack-of-potatoes sleeping 2 year old and bag to the bottom.😂 @ Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Carlsbad Caverns!!! Have you ever been to a place and it exceeded your expectations SO MUCH, you are nearly speechless?! That was Carlsbad Caverns for us.

Pictures just don't do it justice. The SIZE of these caverns was awe inspiring. Rooms 300 ft tall. Rooms the size of 14 football fields. Switchback trails that make your palms sweat.

It was breathtaking.
It was scary.
It was gorgeous.
It was humbling.
It was dizzying.

It was just amazing. If you don't think you'll like it, still go. We hiked down over 800 ft to the bottom (that's the height of the Empire State building, btw) on switchbacks and dimly lit trails. Then we took the elevator 800 ft to the surface. The boys loved it, we loved it. ☀️🌵🌄🌌🏃🏼‍♀️ @ Carlsbad Caverns National Park

ROSWELL!!! 👽💙🌵☀️ This has been a bucket list destination for Ben his whole life and it didn't disappoint!
We had a blast looking at all the art, murals, souvenirs and touring the few stores and museums that were alien themed!

We were expecting it to be ridiculously touristy, but we were pleasantly surprised and loved our short stay! We'll be back 👽

@ Roswell, New Mexico

Only in Roswell, NM... 👽😂✨

Prepare for pic overload, because White Sands was just breathtaking!
We spent half a day climbing up dunes, sledding down soft, slippery sand, breathing in warm dry air and enjoying the peace and quiet of nature 🌵💚☀️✨ The sky was just a different level of blue out there, surrounded by mountains and perfectly white sand 💙

Out of all of our excursions so far, this has been our favorite.
We took about 45,000 pictures and brought home about 50 pounds of sand in our shoes, hair, clothes and truck 😳 but it was one of the coolest places we have ever been 😍😍😍 @ White Sands State Park New Mexico

There are days where we have grand adventures... And then there are days where work doesn't end and the best you can do is go to a park for an hour. Yesterday was the latter, but what a fun park to explore. The kids almost died about 90 times on the 1950's playground equipment, we found great trees to climb and Ben and I took some campy "senior pics" in the trees. Plus, DEER! 🌻🌵🐐☀️ @ Lake Medina Highlands, Texas

15/02/2020

Happy Valentine's Day!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I spent the day with my loves in New Orleans and we had a great day. We had coffee & beignets (a few times), ate a lot of shrimp and free Monster energy drinks from a Monster Truck (yuck). The boys also got thrown baby ducks on Bourbon Street (by far the most wholesome thing we saw on that street). I am reminded today how special this journey is. How amazing that we can still work and support our family while we get to make memories and see places we've always dreamed of. Life is good. ❤️❤️ @ French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana

13/02/2020

Mobile, Alabama was a short stop but packed a punch!!

We went to the USS Alabama Battleship park, where we got to tour the retired Battleship, a retired submarine and see tons of awesome planes.

A big thanks to our friends Matt and Heather for giving us a pass to visit and telling us the things to do and places to eat while in Mobile! ❤️❤️❤️

Cave time!! We had a magical time exploring the caves at Florida Caverns State Park! The whole area was shut down for a while because of the hurricanes, but the Cave Tours are up and running again. We learned some history, got some exercise and loved seeing a few cute little tiny bats!
Our favorite part was when the lights were turned off and you got an idea of *how dark* it really is down there.

It's cold here in Panama City Beach - at least cold for a beach day! 🥶 But so glad we got to stick our toes in the sand for a day, look out into the (seemingly) infinite blue water, and breathe.
I feel like Moana... The ocean just calls me. It reminds me of my smallness and of the world's vastness... It inspires me and breaks my heart all in one. I feel my shoulders relax and my breathing deepen. This world we live in is a beautiful one.
Thankful for the sand and the sun and the opportunity to be here. ✨☀️🌊🌅 @ St. Andrews State Park

The Devil's Millhopper

This "sinkhole turned lake" is worth a stop if you are passing through the Gainesville FL area! It was beautiful short hike to a sturdy, brand new catwalk (steps) down to the sinkhole.

Right after commenting to Ben "I'm so glad they have a bunch of small staircases so you can't just fall down a long staircase straight to Egypt...", Indy fell down a staircase and we were even MORE grateful for their small staircases! Lol!

We only spent about an hour there, but it was beautiful and an awesome place to explore for an hour ❤️❤️ @ Devil's Millhopper Sinkhole

19/01/2020

Better luck next time!

We were outside trying to catch a glimpse of launch today, but it was just too cloudy to see from Orlando. Ben even got on the roof, but alas... earwax. Lol! Oh well ;)

We had a great last 2 days at Disney World! ✨

We rode everything you can ride at Hollywood Studios and even got to ride Rise of the Resistance twice - it was astounding. I think my favorite ride I have ever been on! I also take notoriously bad roller coaster pictures, so enjoy my cringy "Aerosmith" picture! Lol ✨

At Animal Kingdom, we got to catch up with our college friend, Michael, who performs at WDW. He normally plays Marlin in Finding Nemo (how cool is that?!) but met us on his day off to introduce us to the cast after the show. We all loved it! ✨

We were reminded yet again of how lucky we are. How lucky to be able to visit places we love, see friends we love,
and make memories... All while bringing our home along! ❤️❤️❤️ ✨

15/01/2020

The first time seeing "Toy Story Land" at Hollywood Studios. 😍😍😍 We watch YouTube videos of rides to get the boys familiar with them and Indy's FAVORITE ride to watch is the Slinky-Dog Dash - they are so excited to be here ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨ @ Disney's Hollywood Studios

13/01/2020

We had a pretty awesome weekend at Disney World!!!

✨

We spent Saturday at Epcot, riding Frozen (many times) and our other favorites, spending hours showing the boys "the rest of the world", eating exotic snacks and enjoying the feeling of summer in January

✨

We spent Sunday at Magic Kingdom and loved watching the boys having a blast on all the fun kids rides. We got them a bubble machine that enchanted them for hours and is already refilled for our next adventure.

✨

We are letting our feet rest a few days and then heading to the other 2 parks later this week! 🙌🏻🎉✨

Sun, sand and seagulls ❤️ We had the Hilton Head beach almost to ourselves and got to dig in the sand, chase some birds and run on the beach. Ridley even got a power nap in! ✨
South Carolina, you have been unexpected and so fun. Now, onto the next stop! 🌎🌃🏖️

07/01/2020

Charleston, you are gorgeous. ✨
We have never been here and thought a good way to roll into the "roaring 20's" would be to visit Charleston. We are so glad we went - it was just magical. ✨
Visiting in a Monday afternoon and January was the way to go... It was deserted, zero traffic and we were able to spend hours walking through the streets, looking at houses built in 1700's, visiting ancient cemeteries and dreaming. ✨
If you get a chance to visit, we recommend it 1000% ✨🌎❤️

Today we saw GIANT elephants on our way to one of our favorite places, Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons in Savannah, GA. This is one of the few places that our boys will eat without protest. Indy ate 2...yes I said 2...whole fried chicken breasts while Ridley cleaned up 2 desserts! Time to burn off those calories with an evening run. -

If you are passing through Atlanta, you've gotta hit the GA Aquarium. You get free admission on your birthday and it's magical. It's only of the only places in the world that you can watch 3 whale sharks gliding around in a HUGE tank with Giant Rays... Magical, I tell ya! ✨✨🐬🐋🐟.
