Tune in or read up to get a glimpse into our family of three and our four pets as we’re working, eating, drinking, and otherwise experiencing life. Often we’re doing this from the comfort of our motorhome in places near and far. Follow along with our adventures to learn more about our family. We'll cover trip planning from gas stops to campgrounds. We'll also talk about life on the road including the fun we have and things we do, but we'll also let you know about the things that suck. There are many other items we have for discussion as well. You'll probably hear from our son as he tells us what this life is like from his point of view. Got an idea for an episode or blog post?

Jackie
Jackie is a thirty-something year old mother to one child and four furry beasts. She is married to her best friend and enjoys making him laugh out loud with her shenanigans.
When she is not being an absolute Domestic Goddess, she can be found hiking, biking, and running so that she can indulge in her other favorite pastime: drinking craft beer and playing video games.
Matt
First and foremost, Matt sees himself as Beau’s dad and Jackie’s husband and is extremely lucky and proud to be both of those things. He has always enjoyed being outside and exploring. A childhood (freezing cold) camping trip to the mountains and multiple later trips to cabins in the north woods of Minnesota created a lifelong love of the outdoors and nature’s beauty. As he has matured in life, he transitioned from simply a lover of the outdoors and wild places to an advocate for these things.
If you ask Matt, nothing beats the cool Lake Superior breeze on a hot summer day. Some other favorite things are the crisp feel in the air right after a thunderstorm or fresh, hot coffee in the morning chill on that first “real” day of fall.
Beau
Beau is 11 years old. He loves gaming, playing outside, and all things Minecraft. When he doesn't have an Xbox controller in his hands, you can find him swimming, regardless of the temperature. Beau wants everyone to know how cool he is, and did we mention that he is insanely humble? He has a real knack for making us laugh unintentionally and eating entire pizzas.
