This wasn’t Evan’s first trip to Maine and Acadia National Park but it was for the rest of the family. Warm but not scorching days, cool nights, rocky ocean views and cute little towns… yes please! The kids had a blast at Acadia. Gray was pleased by the rock climbing possibilities, Kyrie repeatedly said “Oh, it’s just so beautiful” and Phoenix would play on rocks or sand all day everyday if he had the choice. I have no doubt those three are ready to go back there already.

The kids are loaded and the camper is hooked up and we’re back on the road Jack! After a hiatus due to everything being shutdown in ‘20 and house building in ‘21, it’s been a long awaited trip. This time the trip destination is New England and all things East Coast. Evan has a wedding in Vermont so why not right?
Bonus: Gray and Meagan will both hit 49/50 states by the end of the trip. Will Gray make it to Hawaii or will Meagan make it to Michigan first? Only time will tell.

Once motivated, our first stop was the visitors center to collect the junior ranger books and see what they had to offer. There was an active fossil lab to enjoy as well. After we gathered our info we took to a few trails as it began to rain. A fun part of there Badlands is that unlike other parts you are encouraged to explore around outside of the trails. The big kids were so excited to climb the dunes/hills/mounds (whatever they are called) and not be breaking the rules.

But the more you drive into the state the more gorgeous and picturesque it becomes. We quickly forgot about our view however as the sun went down on Sunday and we hit up the local Walmart for our nights stay. But after 14 hours on the road we really didn’t care where we slept. Ahh, the good old days, right?
Read MoreWe made the short drive from the Tetons to Yellowstone on Tuesday. Our first stop was Old Faithful. As we circled the parking lot for what seemed like hours we quickly learned that Yellowstone is SUPER popular, therefore it is SUPER crowded. Once we found some folks that allowed us to block them in with the #airstreamstarship we headed towards the visitors center where we met up with our friends Justin and Clay.
