I love going on adventures, big or small, near or far. I always bring my family along for the ride too! We love experiencing things together

I have always dreamed of visiting Dry Tortugas. It seems like such an awesome place to explore being so remote. There is the historical aspect of the fort along with all of the natural beauty of the surrounding lagoon. Camping out on the beach and exploring all that it has to offer would be a thrill for me. If I were taking the whole family, though, it would have to be Glacier. I would love to take my kids hiking so they could see the sheer vastness and beauty of the park.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?We had a big group go out to Moab for some camping and exploring. Everyone brought or rented some sort of Dirt Bike or Side by Side. We spent a few days riding through the sand, hiking and relaxing around the fire. Some of the ledges we traversed going in and out of valleys were pretty wild! Definitely some new terrain for most of us. Got to see a few of my friends try to ride a dirt bike for the first time, which was hilarious. Found some mud pits that stained clothes red.
What would you do with $10,000?I would use it towards getting an RV. My family loves to explore and this would be the ultimate way to keep going! We have a pop-up right now, but it is only ideal in 3 seasons and we put a lot of wear on our vehicles pulling it around. Having the ability to pack up and go at a moments notice with an RV would help to feed our spontaneity.
