Jeff & Julie here 👋
We traded “normal” for full-time RV life in 2024. 🚐
Sunsets, side roads, real reviews (the good & the not-so-good), and amazing people along the way. We’re Jeff & Julie — two young-at-heart road warriors 👩‍❤️‍👨 traveling full-time in our 5th wheel. 🚐✨

This page is where we share our adventures, the beautiful places we explore, and the everyday joys (and challenges!) of RV life. It’s for family, friends, and fellow wanderers who want to follow along, connect, or maybe even meet up on the road. 🌲🌄❤️
Follow our journey and let’s share the adventure together!

One week post-surgery! ❤️

Jeff is doing pretty darn well! We’ve been taking several short walks throughout the day, anywhere from a half mile to a mile, and he’s getting a little stronger each day.

He did have one day where he probably pushed himself a little too much and his body let him know about it the next day. It’s funny how your mind can say, “I’m good! Let’s go!” while your body is saying, “Umm…slow down there, buddy!” 😂

So we’re learning to listen to the body, rest when he needs to, and remember that recovery is a process—not a race.

All in all, he’s doing great, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress we’re seeing. One week down and getting stronger every day! ❤️

Thank you all for continuing to check in, send prayers, love and encouragement. It truly means so much to both of us. ❤️

Wow… just wow! ❤️

The outpouring of love, thoughts and prayers for Jeff has been absolutely incredible. We have read each and every message, and we want you to know how much they have meant to both of us. We are truly grateful and feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people cheering Jeff on. 🙏❤️

And now for the good news… surgery was a success! 🎉 Jeff did incredibly well, and because he was healthy and strong going into surgery (other than that nasty valve 😉), his recovery has gone better than expected.

He was able to come home just 3 days after open-heart surgery—quite the feat, and one that made for a very happy surgeon! 😊

There is still a road ahead. Jeff will have several more months of recovery and therapy, but the hardest part is behind us, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts (and Jeff’s brand-new valve 😉), for every prayer, message, phone call and good thought you’ve sent our way.

We are feeling incredibly blessed, grateful and hopeful for what’s ahead. ❤️

Hello everyone! ❤️ A little life update.

We want to take a moment to say how much we appreciate each and every one of you who follows along with our adventures. We love sharing this crazy life of ours with you, and we’re so grateful you’re along for the ride.

Our travels are taking a little pause for the next couple of months. Jeff will be having open-heart surgery, followed by recovery and physical therapy, so our focus will be on getting him healthy and back on his feet.

As difficult as this unexpected detour is, we are incredibly grateful his aortic valve problem was discovered before something happened while we were traveling. We’re thankful we found it when we did and can take care of it now. ❤️

And honestly, this summer has been pretty special. We’ve had so much time with our grandkids, family and friends, and we’re incredibly thankful for those memories. Sometimes life has a way of slowing you down and reminding you what really matters.

We may be a little quieter here for a while, but we promise—we’re not done traveling! This is just a temporary re-route on our journey. 😉

We’ll keep you posted along the way and look forward to getting back out there and seeing where the road takes us next.

Thank you for following, supporting and cheering us on. It truly means more than you know. ❤️

A little bittersweet today. ❤️

We dropped Betty off at the Alliance factory for some much-needed repairs. 🚐🔧 We’re excited to get her back, all fixed up and ready for many more adventures!

But leaving our home on wheels behind was definitely a little sad. She’s been home to us and holds so many amazing memories. 🥹

Thankfully, we have our little camper on our land to call home for now. 🏕️❤️ Just hoping for a nice, mild Michigan fall while Betty gets some TLC! 🍂🤞

See you soon, Betty. ❤️🚐

Happy Monday!

🚐 Arends On The Go: Campground Review
📍 Baldwin Oaks Family Campground – Hudsonville, MI

We had a nice 2-night stay here, mainly because we were meeting up with some good friends we met while traveling in Rockport, TX. It was a convenient location for getting together!

🏕️ Sites:
The sites are a decent size with some space between neighbors. A few of the hookups were on the opposite side of the rig, which made things a little awkward and meant stepping over hoses.

This campground is a better fit for smaller rigs. If you’re over about 38 feet, getting to some of the sites can be very challenging. The roads are tight and there are a lot of trees to navigate. We made it to our site, but it was extremely tight with our rig.

That said, the campground itself is very nice and the people were friendly. They have a nice outdoor pool, pool tables, and plenty of activities for kids.

📍 Location:
Conveniently located near Lake Michigan, Grand Rapids, and plenty of shopping.

⭐️ Would we come back?
Probably not, but only because of our rig size. If we had a smaller RV, we would definitely consider staying here again.

Have you stayed here? Or do you have a favorite RV park we should check out? 👇

These past several days, we took a little trip through Michigan’s U.P. and along the shores of Lake Michigan. 🚐🌊

We had never traveled this way before, and we have to say… we really enjoyed it! The little towns along the way were full of charm, beautiful scenery, and plenty of places we’d love to explore more someday.

And crossing the Mackinac Bridge in the rig was definitely a highlight! 🌉 It’s one impressive bridge, and seeing it from the driver’s seat was pretty cool!

On our way to Elkhart, IN, we also stopped to meet up with some new friends we met while traveling in Texas. ❤️ There’s something pretty special about this RV life—meeting people along the way and then crossing paths again down the road.

Four days, new places, beautiful views, good friends, and plenty of memories made. ❤️

Another trip. Another adventure. Another memory. 🚐

Harvest Host Review

📍 Iron Fish Distillery

What a cool Harvest Hosts stay! If you’re traveling along Michigan’s western Lake Michigan coastline, this is definitely a spot to add to your list.

Tucked away in the woods and a little off the beaten path, Iron Fish Distillery has a beautiful outdoor space and a really relaxing atmosphere. They have some tasty whiskeys and vodka to check out, along with live music on select nights. We were lucky enough to be there for one! 🎶

And the wood-fired pizza? Delicious! 🍕 They have a great menu with plenty of options to enjoy while taking in the surroundings.

There’s plenty of room for big rigs, and the parking area was fairly level. Overall, it was a fun and unique place to spend the night.

⭐️ Would we stay again?
Yes! 👍

Another Harvest Hosts stop… another great memory. 🚐
