This week, we reached a new low in our Airstream journey… literally. We’ve made our way through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and finally, we’re here in California’s Death Valley!

After our tour of Nevada, we hopped over the border to Death Valley National Park in California.

We’ve visited three types of parks on our full-time travel tour of the US: national parks, playgrounds, and finally… a state park!

Valley of Fire Nevada State Park looks like a melted creamsicle popsicle, with rust sandstone outcroppings amongst a grey and tan limestone backdrop. It is remote and stunning.

If you caught my Las Vegas travel guide, you know that “Sin City” is a shockingly perfect destination for families. Today I’m sharing our Las Vegas vlog where you can see for yourself all the fun we had while we were there.

I know what you’re thinking… Las Vegas isn’t exactly known as THE premier kid-friendly destination, but we had the best time. We’d been in Arizona for over a month, and we’d had our fill of wide open spaces and nature galore. To be honest, we were ready for some big city sights! Here’s what you need to do if you’re in Las Vegas with kids— which I totally recommend.

Even before we starting full-time traveling, my kids were always on the hunt for a beach day. Keep in mind we lived in rural Arkansas. Beaches were not easy to find. You might not think our luck would have been much better… in Arizona… in the dead of winter. That’s where Lake Powell comes in.

All it takes is a quick Google image search to figure out why Page, Arizona was on our list of must-see cities in Arizona! And really, no photo really does this place justice. When we visited, it was winter time, so we didn’t get to rent a boat and go on the lake, but if we come back for warmer weather sometime, we definitely will! When you visit Page, it isn’t for cool downtown shops or great restaurants, it’s for the natural beauty all around.
Because of that, we went to the grocery story, ate in the Airstream, or packed picnics for our stay in Page.

To wrap up our tour of Arizona, we visited the Grand Canyon! I’m not sure it really counts as a cross-country road trip if you don’t see the Grand Canyon, right?

We couldn’t very well travel to Arizona and NOT see the Grand Canyon, right? You know the drill. It’s big, it’s deep, it’s enormous.

Y’all. Arizona is a big place. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe that we could spend week after week in Arizona because there was still so much we didn’t see! It reminds me how lucky we are to explore such beautiful places full-time in this weird and wonderful season of life. If you watch the video below, you’ll see how breathtaking every view, hike, and highway is. Traveling like this has been a dream of mine for so long, and somehow actually living it is exceeding my expectations. So many times, I get asked the question “How can you afford to travel full time like this??”

Around the start of the new year, we made our way through Arizona, stopping in Flagstaff and Sedona. Both Brian and I agreed— we could be pretty happy here. With the beautiful, curated color palettes (fun fact, the Sedona McDonalds is the only one in the word that doesn’t have the famous golden arches. Instead, they’re turquoise), and terra cotta toned soil in every direction, it satisfied my aesthetic loving ways.
