3… 2… 1… let's travel
A Space Coast family exploring the country together.
Join us as we road trip our way to all 50 states, cruise out of the world's busiest port, and share our life on the Space Coast of Florida. As a retired military family, our roots also extend to Pennsylvania and California, so you will likely see some extra love for the places we once called home. Come along as we share all of the details: how we planned, what we packed, what it cost, what we would skip, and what we can't wait to do and see again.
