This has been on our bucket list for years and it definitely lived up to the hype. The Outdoor Gravity Park () in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is the only zorbing park in the entire United States 🤩. [ad]

If you’ve never heard of zorbing, you climb inside a giant inflatable ball filled with 10 gallons of water and roll down a hill. It’s wild, hilarious, and way more fun than we expected. We couldn’t stop laughing the whole way down 😂.

Out of everything we did in Pigeon Forge () this ended up being one of our kids’ favorite activities.

Definitely add this one to your family bucket list and send this to someone you would try it with ❤️.

Would you go zorbing 👀? Who are you going with?!?

Memorial Day means slowing down, gathering together, and remembering those who made these moments possible 🇺🇸. ad

We are spending the weekend with friends before we continue our journey to Alaska next week 🚌.

After searching for a portable fire pit for years, we finally found the perfect one 💫. One of our favorite things about PACKFIRE is how easy it is to bring along and setup.

In a matter of minutes we had s’mores, popcorn, and everyone gathered around the fire 🔥. We’ve had a lot of campfires over the years, but having a full-size fire pit that folds flat and goes wherever we do is such a game changer for life on the road.

How cool is it that your fire pit can fit in a backpack? What are your Memorial Day plans 🇺🇸?!?

We asked our kids to pick their 5 favorite attractions in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and they couldn’t narrow it down to just five 💫. [ad]

1. Outdoor Gravity Park (). This has been on our bucket list for years and it lived up to the hype. It’s the only place in the United States where you can go zorbing down a hill in a giant inflatable ball and the kids were immediately obsessed.
2. Pink Jeep Tours (). Having a guide take us through the Smoky Mountains in a pink jeep while also helping capture family photos made this such a fun experience for all of us.
3. The Island (). This place has so much to offer. We did the rides wristband and had unlimited rides for 48 hours, which included The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel and ropes course. In addition to shopping, dining, and live music, there is also a musical fountain, and dinosaurs!!
4. Lumberjack Feud Supper Show (). This was a fun and entertaining competition that had our whole family cheering.
5. WonderWorks (). Do you want to lay on a bed of nails or experience an earthquake or hurricane force winds? This place is full of hands-on activities that will keep you and your kids having fun all day.
6. Titanic Museum Attraction (). This had been on our kids’ list for a while and it ended up being one of the best museums we’ve ever visited. You can feel 28 degree water, walk the replica Grand Staircase of the ship, and discover the fate of an actual Titanic passenger.

Which attraction would be your favorite? Save this post and share it with a friend you want to visit Pigeon Forge with.

Our road trip to Alaska is officially off to a rough start 🚌.

We were  driving through Nebraska yesterday watching the weather because we knew there was a chance for severe storms ⛈️. We pulled off at a Walmart hoping to wait it out and avoid the worst of it. Just as the severe weather warning was about to expire, we started getting pelted with golf ball sized hail 😨. The gut wrenching sound of hail slamming against our solar panels and windows was terrifying. We have 3150 watts of solar and our entire roof of the bus is covered in solar panels. 

It was one of those moments where your stomach drops because you know things are getting destroyed, but you have no idea how bad it is. All I could think about was our Alaska trip and the impact this could have 😢.

When our hatch started leaking water, we knew it wasn’t going to be good 😭.

Stay tuned for part two where we assess the damage. 

Have you ever been caught in a bad storm ☔️? How bad do you think it is 😱?!?
