What a Epic trip ❤️ ⛰️🦬🦅🫎🦌
Over 2,000 miles on the road from Long Beach to Salt Lake City, Bear Lake, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and back home.
And when I say it was an adventure… it was an ADVENTURE. 😂
My generator decided it wanted to give me problems. 🤪
Marisa Salgado and Marisol Tejeda Salgado and the family had issues with their fan.
Evelyn Galván and Ben had problems with their kitchen door.
Yvette Rodriguez and Rodris Ame had their own car starting—or not turning off 😂—situation.
But honestly, that’s part of what made the trip so memorable.
There were long hours of driving, tired kids, RV problems, figuring things out as we went, and then you’d look out the window and see these incredible mountains, lakes and landscapes and think, wow.
This is so worth it.
We saw animals in the wild, explored some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen, laughed A LOT, and watched the kids just enjoy being kids.
They made videos, hung out together, joked around and created their own memories while we were creating ours.
And I think that’s what I loved most.
Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons have been on our bucket list for a long time, but being able to experience them with our boys and three other families made it so much more special.
Trips don’t have to go perfectly to be perfect.
Sometimes it’s the things that go wrong, the people you’re with, the laughs you have trying to figure it out, and those random moments along the way that you end up remembering the most.
Long drive? Absolutely. 😂
Would I do it again? 100%.
So grateful we get to show our boys these beautiful places and give them experiences they’ll hopefully remember for the rest of their lives.
Another bucket-list adventure in the books. ❤️🏔️🦬🚐 Vanessa Gadea | REALTOR 🔑
