There is something so magical about being close to water.

There is something so magical about being close to water. Rivers, lakes, oceans….all of them do something for my soul. But we have found there is something even more magical about being able to actually experience it.
.

After RVing full-time for a little while and always being so close to water but not having easy ways to actually be in it or on it.
.

We decided to buy 2 items that significantly changed our travel experiences. And after 3.5 years of full-time travel, I would definitely still buy them again!
.

So here they are:

1. Wetsuits for our kids. – we didn’t buy the most expensive or highest quality. We bought some for $40 a piece on Amazon! And they have still held up! Brand : Flexel Boys and Girls Wetsuit, 2mm Neoprene Wetsuit for Kids
.

The kids can get in any water they want and not worry about how warm or cold it is!
.

2. Inflatable kayaks – we bought 2, 2 person Intex 2 kayaks and 1 Challenger, 1 person kayak and we love them!

We also have friends that have invested in Stand up paddle boards and they love them too.
.

So if you are curious what items are must haves on your travel list. These are some I’d definitely recommend. They have totally changed our adventuring style!

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? .
