We are a family of five plus a large dog currently preparing for long-term family travel. We plan to spend at least a year traveling around the U.S.A. and Canada in a travel trailer. Our goal departure date is September 14, 2020. We are blogging about our preparations and travels in hopes of inspiring other families that are considering doing the same. We would love to have you along for our crazy adventure! Welcome to the family!
