18 NATIONAL PARKS
1 EPIC SUMMER
3 FEARLESS KIDS
2 MONTHS OF ENDLESS AND FOREVER MEMORIES…

From Geyser to the Giant Trees, from Lakes to dry lands, to caves of wonders to beatiful beaches, we learned that curiosity is the best compass and nature is the best classroom.

Here’s our Family quest across some of the most beautiful National Parks may it spark your next adventures.

GREAT BASIN – surprising deserts and dark skies that spark bedtime stories about stars.

YELLOWSTONE & GRAND TETON– geysers, wildlife, and tall peaks that make you pause and breathe.

WIND CAVE & BADLANDS – quirky formations that spark questions and lots of “wow” moments.

ISLE ROYAL & VOYAGEURS– kid-sized adventures on lakes and in forests, with canoe and ferry days.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT & GLACIER – wide valleys, wildflowers, and teamwork on multi-day hikes.

NORTH CASCADE & MT. OLYMPICS – lush moss, waterfalls, and rivers that invite splash breaks.

MT. RAINIER & CRATER LAKE– colossal views, pristine blues, and the scent of pine.

REDWOODS & LASSEN– ancient giants and lava journeys that remind us to protect what we love.

FAMILY TAKEAWAY

We traveled withour 3 kids at a pace that fit everyone’s mood and stamina.

- Each stop included a simple nature Q&A: “What do you notice? What do you wonder?” It turns every hike into a tiny science lesson.

- Practical tips that helped us: sun protection, layers, snacks that fuel adventures, lightweight binoculars for wildlife, and a small nature journal for doodles and discoveries.

- Our family rules: leave no trace, tread softly, and share what we find with others—whether it’s a compliment to a ranger or a helping hand to a sibling on a steep path.

- The big takeaway: big adventures start with small steps, and every park visit plants a seed of stewardship and wonder.

CHASING EXTREME POINTS OF THE LOWER 48!

From Key West’s sunny buoy promising a 90-mile tow to Cuba, to the Northwest Angle in Minnesota where the land hugs the lake at the edge of the U.S., then west to Cape Alava’s wild Pacific edge, and a forest trail that felt like a secret path to joy.

Four corners with a lot of history and countless smiles and unforgettable memories.

🔸Southernmost Point Buoy, Key West, FL — about 90 miles to Cuba. Bright colors, bold vibes, sunset energy.

🔸West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Lubec, ME — the eastern edge of the contiguous U.S. Sunrise-ready moment

🔸Northwest Angle, MN — the northern edge of the contiguous U.S. (edge-of-map vibes; land access via Canada).

🔸Cape Alava / Sand Point Loop, WA — the western edge of the contiguous U.S. Rugged coast, sea spray, stunning vistas.

These photo-worthy points are not just about the photos each spot has a unique vibe and history.

Which extreme point should we chase next?!

WE MADE IT TO THE LOWER 48 STATES! 🥳

After 3 years of on and off Vanlife with 3 kids we made it to lower 48 states.

What started as a conversation, slowly came to reality we move back from the middle east, we bought a van and finally said let’s do it and hopefully we’ll be able to finish it. And here we are!

After visiting all Arizona State Parks, slowly taking fewer trips to nearby states and visiting some National Parks we call the shots and took a leap of 8 months straight travel.

We left our home and started our first leg of the trip. From Tucson, AZ all the way to Florida Keys. We discovered a lot, we experienced snow, rains, sun, bunch of mosquitoes and more. Our taste buds had the best experience too, from simple pizza to the most fancy sushi to the best bourbon trail to the great fine dine dinner.

And mostly our kids! Our kids is the best part of this whole thing. They were such a trooper! They had the best experience, from road schooling to real life experience. From swimming pools to the open sea, from Mcdonalds to the best sushi and hibachi. From the regular parks to the best and happiest theme park. We don’t wanna be biased but we always make sure they will have the best experience as long as they can remember and as long as we can afford it. 😉

We can’t wait to share all our best, not so best, the joy, the hiccups along the way of our adventures. Thanks for being here. 😘

CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE

Our visit to Chattanooga, Tennessee, was a delightful adventure! We kicked off our trip at the stunning Walnut Street Bridge, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of the Tennessee River and the surrounding hills. The atmosphere was lively, and the bridge’s charm made for perfect photo ops.

Next, we explored Chalk Alley, a vibrant street filled with colorful murals and captivating street art. Each piece told a unique story, showcasing the local creativity and talents. We loved soaking up the artistic energy all around us!

We also had the chance to admire the Tennessee Aquarium from the outside. Its impressive architecture and the surrounding gardens were a sight to behold. Though we didn’t venture in this time, it’s definitely on our list for our next visit!

To sweeten our day, we stopped by Clumpies Ice Cream, a local favorite. It was 10 out of 10.

Chattanooga truly has something for everyone, and we can’t wait to visit again!
