RV problems? Make the most of them! 😂🎢

We're at Silver Dollar City having some fun while we wait for parts to arrive so we can get the hydraulic lines on Triple Bogey fixed.

And if we're going to be stuck waiting… we might as well ride some roller coasters!

Time Traveler was hands-down everyone's favorite. It's easily one of the most unique roller coasters we've ever been on. The ride launches from 0 to 47 mph, drops 90 degrees, goes upside down, and the craziest part is that your coaster car actually starts by moving backward before launching forward! 🤯🎢

Definitely not your typical roller coaster!

RV repairs aren't always fun, but days like this are a pretty good reminder that sometimes the unexpected detours make the best memories.

We'll get Triple Bogey fixed… but for now, we're enjoying the ride! ❤️

What’s the most unique roller coaster YOU'VE ever ridden?

A Tough Day on the Course ⛳️
Not every round goes the way you hope.

Bo had a rough day on the course today, shooting a 76 and finishing 6th out of 15 boys.

But that's golf.

He learned a LOT today—not just about his golf game, but about handling a tough round, staying mentally strong, and continuing to compete when things aren't going your way.

We're proud of him for fighting through it, learning from it, and continuing to grow.

At 10 years old, the score is just one part of the journey. The lessons he takes from days like today are what will stick with him.

Practice makes improvement. ❤️⛳️

The tournament officials ran a great tournament, but it's not a course worthy of a tournament unfortunately, so we won't be signing up for one here again. Bunkers were unplayable, horrible practice facilities....it's a shame, could be such a good course.

Not as much as she actually does enjoy caddying for her brother though! Round 2 here we come!

THE EVE OF TOURNAMENT DAY! ⛳️🏌️‍♂️

Tomorrow is tournament day, and we're ready! But we're doing things a little differently than most families.

We do NOT play the official practice rounds at junior tournaments.

The evening-before practice round is typically riddled with extremely slow play. Instead, we played our round on Thursday and made today about something a little different…

FUN. ❤️

We grabbed snacks in town for the tournament, had some AMAZING fried halibut for dinner 🐟, spent some time enjoying the state park, and just enjoyed being together.

No rushing.
No stressing.
No trying to squeeze in one more thing.

Just enjoying the day before Bo tees it up. ⛳️

Golf is obviously about preparation, but we've also learned that being mentally rested and enjoying the experience matters, too. Sometimes the best thing you can do before competition is step away, relax, and show up ready to play.

And after this crazy journey from Alaska to Tennessee, we're definitely ready to enjoy this weekend!

Tomorrow, it's time to let Bo do what he loves. 🏌️‍♂️💪

4,700 miles later…

4,700 MILES LATER… WE MADE IT!!! ⛳️🚍🎉

On August 18, we left Soldotna, Alaska and started making our way southeast in Triple Bogey.

Last night, September 19, we FINALLY arrived in Buchanan, Tennessee for Bo’s US Kids Golf Tennessee State Fall Tournament! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

Just shy of 4,700 MILES!!!

I guarantee there aren't many — if any — families at this tournament who drove quite as far as we did to get here. 😂

We’ve spent the last month traveling through Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48, crossing borders, navigating some absolutely crazy roads, seeing some incredible scenery, making stops we never planned on making, and collecting a whole lot of memories along the way.

But now…

WE’RE HERE. 🙌

And we are READY TO STAY PUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE! 😂

No more “how many miles do we have left today?” No more packing up the RV nearly every morning.

For a little while, Triple Bogey is staying right here. ❤️🚍

Now it’s time to get settled, recharge, and get in some practice.

We’re so excited to finally be here and watch Bo compete!

You got this, Bo! ⛳️💪🏌️‍♂️

📍 PARCELLS | BENTON, KENTUCKY 🥩☕️🍰

When you’re traveling across the country in an RV, sometimes the best stops are the little places you never would have known about if you weren’t driving through town.

We found Parcells in Benton, KY and HAD to stop for a late lunch when we found out they cook with beef tallow! 🙌🥩

And of course, we couldn’t leave without grabbing some treats from the bakery, too. 😂🍪

The food was great, the bakery treats were even harder to resist, and the prices were SO affordable! It’s always exciting to find a local spot that feels like the kind of place you’d want to come back to again and again.

We’re officially on the road to Tennessee for Bo’s US Kids Golf Tennessee State Fall Tournament! ⛳️🏌️‍♂️

We were really hoping we’d get some of that beautiful Tennessee FALL weather…

But apparently nobody told the weather. 😂🔥

It’s 99° today!!!

After spending the entire summer in Alaska, where we were golfing in temperatures in the 50s and 60s, 99° feels like a LOT. 🥵😂

Thankfully, it’s supposed to cool down into the low 80s by next weekend for the tournament, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed!

One of the things we love about RV travel is discovering little local gems like this along the way. You never know what you’re going to find when you take the time to stop instead of just rushing to the destination. ❤️🚍

📍 Have you been to Parcells in Benton, KY? What other hidden gems should we check out on our way through Tennessee?

Okay golfers… LET’S SEE WHO CAN FIGURE THIS ONE OUT! 👀⛳️

We left Coeur d’Alene Tuesday and have officially started making our way EAST toward Tennessee for Bo’s US Kids Golf Tennessee State Fall Tournament.

Along the way, we made a stop at a Harvest Hosts location that also participates in Youth on Course… and somehow we found what is now officially our FAVORITE golf course we’ve ever played! 😍⛳️

I’m not even kidding.

I don’t have time to put the full video together yet because we ended up extending our stay there and are still traveling, but I HAD to share one picture from the course.

And this picture contains a pretty big HINT…

👀 Look closely at that BLACK BUNKER.

If you know golf courses, you might recognize what makes this place so unique.

Here’s another hint: this course has a pretty fascinating history, and that black material isn’t just there for looks. 😉

We’ll share more pictures and eventually put together a full video because this place deserves it!

So…

⛳️ WHAT GOLF COURSE IS THIS???

Drop your guess in the comments! 👇

And if you’ve played here before, NO SPOILERS! 😂

We may give up a lot of things to make this RV life work…

But coffee? Absolutely not. 😂☕️

One of our favorite parts of traveling in Triple Bogey is finding local coffee shops and bakeries wherever we go. There is just something about pulling into a new town, finding a little local spot, grabbing a coffee and a treat, and getting a small taste of the community.

And honestly… some of our best travel memories have started with coffee in our hands. ☕️❤️

Fun travel fact: Local coffee shops and bakeries can tell you a lot about an area. From regional flavors and locally roasted coffee to family recipes and homemade pastries, they are often some of the best hidden gems to discover while traveling!

So while we may be willing to boondock, drive thousands of miles, deal with RV repairs, survive questionable roads, and live in a much smaller space than we used to…

We will NEVER give up coffee. 😂🚍☕️

If you travel, what is the FIRST thing you look for in a new town… coffee shop, bakery, local restaurant, or something else?

Drop your favorite local coffee shop or bakery in the comments! We’re always looking for our next stop. 👇☕️

🏔️🚐 We may have officially found the PRETTIEST place we've ever parked Triple Bogey for the night!

After an incredible drive along the Icefields Parkway last week, we pulled into the Icefields RV Campground and were able to boondock for the night surrounded by some of the most unbelievable scenery we've ever seen.

🏔️ Around 6,500 feet in elevation
🧊 Views of FIVE glaciers
🚐 And our home on wheels parked right in the middle of the Canadian Rockies

We've stayed in some pretty incredible places over the last year, but waking up to views like THIS might officially take the top spot. ❤️

And here's a pretty amazing fact: glaciers aren't just beautiful—they're constantly moving! Even though the movement is usually too slow to notice, glaciers can shape entire valleys and landscapes over thousands of years.

This is exactly why we love RV travel.

Sometimes you plan an overnight stop...

And sometimes you accidentally find yourself parked in a place that looks like it belongs on a postcard. 🏔️🧊🚐

No fancy resort.
No hotel room.
Just our family, our RV, and one of the most incredible views we've ever had from our front door.

We may have to raise the bar for "best campsite ever." 😂

Would you spend the night here? 👇❤️
