Mom of four and military wife here. I try to make the best of our nomadic lives by giving my kids experiences they’ll never forget.

I remember flying to Alaska once when I was 15 to visit my dad, and I'll never forget how pristine the waters were, or how big the mountains stood; especially, coming from Florida where everything was flat. My dad was a truck driver and I remember my brother and I had to follow him from Fairbanks to Valdez through the mountains, and man oh man, did that take my breath away. It felt like they were engulfing us. Needless to say, it's been over 10 years, and I'd love to go back with my kids.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?We just spent this past summer camping our way through California where we visited the Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, the Redwoods, and of course; we didn't drive over 23 hours to not see the west coast. My favorite part of the whole adventure, was taking HWY 1 from Big Sur all the way to the redwoods and making stops along the way to do everything from whale watching, tide pooling, visiting the Golden gate Bridge, and visiting some lighthouses. Truly truly, once in a lifetime!
What would you do with $10,000?To be honest, saving money has been difficult in this economy, and with future hopes to buy our first home, the money would probably go towards that.
