Thanksgiving Day | Palm Beach Motorcoach Resort, FL
ODOMETER: 80,306 | MILES TRAVELED: 2,361

We’re just over 4 weeks into this grand adventure (or experiment) and we’ve experienced massive highs and some scary lows. But the lows have been much less impactful than the wonderful opportunities to see this amazing country, to break free of the stifling circumstances we’re all embroiled in, and bring the spirit of adventure back into our lives.
There are mixed reviews from all of us on this tiny house on wheels lifestyle, but the consensus seems to be that we made a great decision to break out and hit the road and that whatever sacrifices we make space wise are well worth it.
Our final destination a week ago was Alaska, but now Hawaii has blossomed as we brainstorm where we’re headed next. The thought is to head to Hawaii after we get back from Alaska. Maybe even get a boat and sail to Hawaii from the West Coast!? It will be interesting to review where we end up when we get to next Thanksgiving.

The boys left for Tahiti today and the girls get an extra week in Seattle. We miss them already though!💕
Sibling love is the best. He probably put her in a (very gentle) choke hold shortly after this because she pretended to sneeze in his mouth or something. Or maybe she tried to pants him again. Never know with these two.
The last stop on our North American adventure: Seattle. We met a few very nice people, saw a lot of great art, and ate some good food. Also, Pride is going strong in Seattle and it is one of the friendliest and kindest cities we have been to. 🏳️🌈✌️
Yesterday, we said goodbye to Thelma the bus. Our new home, “Hanavave,” is a 38-foot catamaran in Tahiti. We will spend the next 4 months sailing French Polynesia and the South Pacific all the way to Australia. All of us are grateful and excited for the next chapter.
Happy 15th Birthday to our sweet Stellie 💚
There are about 300 grizzly bears in Glacier National Park, but bear encounters are really rare. Roughly two million people visit Glacier each year, and more than one million go into the backcountry. On average, there are only one or two non-lethal bear incidents in a given year.
Today, we hiked the Trout Lake Trail in Glacier National Park. The trail led through a burned forest, a result of the Sprague Wildfire caused by a lightning storm in 2017. The fire engulfed 16,982 acres, which feels without end when you’re standing in it. It’s a very different experience, the contrast of the endless black charred trees against the fresh green foliage and beautiful wildflowers. We dubbed this hike “the wildflower hike.”
