Leaving the USA. Sounds so serious, doesn’t it?

Leaving the USA. Sounds so serious, doesn’t it? . ✹ We were super nervous about taking Bertie (our travel trailer) across the border. We did tons of research to see what we were allowed to bring across. ✹ I mean, it’s one thing to be driving across with your suitcase and a cooler. But it’s another thing to be taking your entire house (on wheels) across. ✹ We were probably overly cautious and got rid of/ate a lot of our refrigerator food to be on the safe side. I had to throw out my pepper spray too . But could keep the bear spray, so 🤷🏻‍♀️. ✹ Anyway we were hoping to drive through with minimal difficulty and definitely without a search. So being able to answer no to as many questions as possible made that more likely🤞🏻. ✹

Y’all this is my heartbeat right here. Backpacking in the mountains with amazing views and my favorite people. . I’m pretty sure this looks far more like what most people thought we meant when we said we were going to be RVing full time. Right?! . Back in August we set out on our first family backpacking trip in the Mt. Hood National forest. After ALOT of prep work and research and gear purchasing, we finally were ready to get out there! . My mom heart could not be more stoked that my kids are wanting to do this kind of thing as they are getting older, and that all those hikes that we powered through when they were younger and whiny are finally paying off . . Tent camping is still the worst, for anyone that is wondering , but I loved being out in the wilderness and waking up in the mountains with the the sun and the birds, and getting to experience something new. . What about you? Does this sound like torture to you or an awesome way to adventure? .
