Recently we noticed that Kelsey's YouTube channel was getting a slow stream of subscribers, and our van-tour video reached nearly 3,000 views with a handful of comments requesting more videos, so we decided to put together a little video showing some of our peculiar breakfast-cooking routine. We actually tried to make breakfast at a park near the Walmart we'd camped at the previous night, but right as we set up, someone showed up with a lawn mower and any hopes of being heard on camera were lost. We actually had to cross the border from Michigan back into Wisconsin to get to the rest stop (which was also a Wisconsin DMV!) where we ended up filming, in spite of the ruckus of the cars and trucks passing along the freeway. More mishaps ensued, some more hilarious than others, and this is what we ended up with:
We've checked out a few other van life video channels and noticed that a lot of people are more polished and spend more energy showing you how you should travel or giving you handy tips, but this video is definitely more just a snapshot of our messy imperfect lives — we didn't really know what we were going to end up with, but what we did get is just us being our strange selves.
Our own Great American Road Trip, exploring our home country, what makes a place home, and what home means to people we meet along the road.

Check out our space!
Yesterday we took a second before take off to film a little video tour of our renovated van space. Things got a little weird but that's to be expected, right? Check it out here:
Our Trevolta campaign has officially ended, and we wanted to thank Camlow Cellars, Aaron & Cheri Fessenden, Farra Ferrere, and Sandi Bowen for our last donations! A few people have mentioned still wanting to donate although the Trevolta funding expired, so maybe we'll look into setting up a Paypal donation button and just keep track of the rewards ourselves, but that's a project for another day.
Writing to you all from Ashland, Oregon and considering checking out Crater Lake today and possibly staying there or heading up to Eugene before hitting Portland.
Smooches!
