As the sun is setting on our year-long RV adventur As the sun is setting on our year-long RV adventure as a family, I flew back to Houston yesterday to spend a few days meeting the team I'll work with very soon. A bit surreal to leave Miss Pearl for a few days making it all to real that our trip is winding down. And it hits me. I spent a year meeting amazing people from all over the country who regularly expressed gratitude and hope for @welchpartyof3 and I sharing our journey as a family with them and others as we traveled about. We underappreciate how much living our lives our way can impact others. Even if we make the decision initially for ourselves and our families, simply living life with joy can lift someone else at just the right time in their life in a way we may never know. I hope to keep some of that with me moving forward. To inspire by building others up and sharing how we live, not in hopes of getting something from them, but rather hoping I share with them something of value that improves their life. #realizations #sunset #ohio #rvliving #inspire #welchpartyof3 #family #leadbyexample #liveyourbestlife
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Not s I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Not so much about suffering but about how fear causes us to suffer internally. When we started planning our RV adventure, we had never owned a camper of any type, never lived in 400 square feet, never taken a vacation longer than a couple of weeks, never owned a diesel engine, never...well, you get the idea, it was all unknown to us and fearing what we didnt know could have easily stopped us from having the adventure of a lifetime. We've done it all now. 11+ months on the road. Over 15,000 miles of travel. All in 400 square feet in an RV as our home. And you know what I've learned? We made it seem so much harder in our minds than it was. We let fear stress us out during the planning and we suffered sometimes needlessly because of that fear. As our trip is coming to an end, @welchpartyof3 and I are blessed to have met so many people who were inspired by our trip and shared with us how they feared taking those leaps in the past, fear whether it's too late now, and fear what they may have missed out on. It's never too late to take the leap. Never too late to live life on your terms. Never too late to open your arms and embrace the fear so you can live your full life. #fear #fearnot #stopsuffering #liveyourbestlife #welchpartyof3 #rvliving
#righthere This is what the trip is all about. I' #righthere This is what the trip is all about. I'd give up 50 years of paychecks to see that smile everyday! We're beyond fortunate to have lived this life the way we've done it. For every new state, park, or campground we visit, we meet another person, couple, or family who wishes they'd have done it sooner. What did Andy say? "You gotta get busy living or get busy dying." Get to living folks! There's a great big world out there! #canada #ontario #niagarafalls #waterfall #shawshankredemption #rvlife #welchpartyof3 #smile #curlyhair #dontcare
A few days ago we left #AcadiaNationalPark headed A few days ago we left #AcadiaNationalPark headed west to #mtwashington in #newhampshire. It was bittersweet to make that turn west. For 4 month we've been traveling up the #EastCoast pretty much in sync with the #dogwood blooms. Everywhere we went, spring was bringing life back to the flowers and trees. Pretty cool to spend 4 months in constant #spring. From northern #Florida all the way to #Maine, dogwoods in bloom. Our turn west to NH was our first turn back towards #Texas. Not going to lie, @welchpartyof3 and I are a bit bummed about our journey being so close to the end. We still have about 8 weeks of travel left and we're living our best life. So for now it's "see you latah" to the northeast, but we'll take many great memories and new friendships with us forever. #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #memories #friends
Great little hike in #AcadiaNationalPark yesterday Great little hike in #AcadiaNationalPark yesterday to see #BubbleRock while @welchpartyof3 and Adelaide had a #teaparty at Jordan Pond House. Easy hike up to North Bubble and South Bubble before scrambling back down the south side of South Bubble. Stunning views across #JordanPond out to the coast on a beautiful May day. #getoutside #thebubbles #hiking #trails #danner #maine #welchpartyof3 #rvliving
✅ Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National ✅ Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park. Amazing! For about 6 months a year, the summit of Cadillac Mountain is the first spot in the US to see sunlight in the morning. Sunrise was ~5am this morning but this is a can't miss when you've traveled this far. #sunrise #morning #fog #cadillac #acadianationalpark #riseupthismorning #maine #mdi #nationalpark #granite #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #getoutside
"When I got to another ocean, I figured since I've "When I got to another ocean, I figured since I've gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going." F. Gump Beautiful day here in Maine. And simply amazing to think we've seen Orcas migrate in the Pacific near the San Juan Islands, watched the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico in Key West, and today we'll take a boat trip out to see Puffin colonies reestablished by amazing Audubon efforts that started back in the 70s. We're blessed to make these memories as a family ❤ #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #getoutside #maine #lighthouse #forrestgump #coastalstyle #rvlife #plexusblessed
Getting to hang with Adelaide everyday on our jour Getting to hang with Adelaide everyday on our journey, I realize how much of ourselves we lose "growing up". To me it was just something to putt around. To Adelaide it was an Olympic-scale obstacle to be conquered and looked like monster teeth. If we all kept more of our imagination into adulthood, it'd be harder to surround ourselves by only people who "think like us" and easier to appreciate the diversity around us. #puttputt #minigolf #boston #kimballfarm #massachusetts #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #getoutside #raisethemstrong #daddiesgirl
Sometimes @welchpartyof3 and I find ourselves cram Sometimes @welchpartyof3 and I find ourselves cramped in busy RV parks. Then there are days like today where we almost have the #outerbanks to ourselves. Turns out the #offseason here is way off. Starting to make us wonder about our plans to work up the east coast with the cold wind and rain here. Tell us about places that are worth a visit from DC to Maine in April or May. No suggestions for great beaches in July as we'll be southbound by then. #obx #hatteras #NC #carolina #eastcoast #rvliving #rvlife #welchpartyof3 #memories

A year ago today I drove Miss Pearl home from the A year ago today I drove Miss Pearl home from the dealer in Huntsville, AL. Wow how we've LIVED for the past year! ✅ Bought giant RV ✅ Purged belongings ✅ Had foot surgery ✅ Bought a Jeep ✅ Sold house ✅ Gave RV a makeover ✅ Traveled 12,000+ miles in RV ❤ Made memories If you've never done something SCARED, I highly recommend it! Leaving Adelaide's only home behind and my career for a year to travel as a family was not an overnight decision but we are LIVING LIFE right now and I love it! Happy birthday Miss Pearl! #rvliving #rvlife #welchpartyof3 #doitscared #getoutside #raisethemstrong #tiffin
When your job involves knowing a bit about sand, y When your job involves knowing a bit about sand, you enjoy the beach on a different level. However, if you've never taken a year off from work, I personally recommend it.

As the #nationalpark service appoints the first fe As the #nationalpark service appoints the first female Chief Ranger of #GSMNP, our lil' Junior Ranger earns yet another badge at #fortpulaski. She was excited to learn about the battles that took place, the prison with cold wooden bunks (which she thought needed pillows), and the moat that actually had water in it since the fort in St. Augustine was dry. #stemgirls #raisethemstrong #getoutside #rvliving #georgia #tybeeisland #welchpartyof3
This RV living isn't about seeing the country as a This RV living isn't about seeing the country as a family. It's this right here. In every new experience our daughter navigates on this trip, she has @welchpartyof3 and me filling her with confidence, self-worth, and the trust that we'll always be there when she needs us. It's so much easier to instill at 5 than it is at 15, 25, or 35...it starts early. Along with that trust, we have to trust her too. In this case it meant trusting her to drive Sassy (the Jeep) on the beach. (No Jeeps were harmed in the taking of this photo) #bigwheelskeeponturning #jeepgirls #raisethemstrong #daddiesgirl #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #wranglernation #jeep #beach
That's my "well....this....sucks" face. It shows That's my "well....this....sucks" face. It shows up when I take time off from working out. 2 weeks ago I signed up for #slimdown2019 #contest . After 7 months of full-time RV travel and having my Achilles surgery last summer, I'm not proud of where I am physically. And for two weeks I've been slowly getting back into a routine, putting a little more #health in our @welchpartyof3 #healthandhappinesstour. So this is me sharing that: #1. I get knocked down but I get up again, and #2. You ain't ever gonna keep me down, and #3. Did you ever notice that a #-sign followed by a number doesn't get hash tagged? How you gonna hash tag a 💩?

🎵 One of these things is not like the other 🎵 A little early morning fishing this morning. Visited by one of the #floridagators, a #louisianalog if you will. Unfortunately I need my throttle foot to drive Miss Pearl and the other to run so I kept my distance. #florida #gators #fishing #catchandrelease #rvliving #welchpartyof3
We make things so complicated too often. Not kids We make things so complicated too often. Not kids though. Adelaide sees kids playing, doing something she wants to do, and all of the sudden she's found a new tribe. We could all learn (or relearn) something from how kids make friends. #friends #florida #floridabeaches #sunshine #welchpartyof3 #rvliving #getoutside #raisethemstrong
Finally had a chance to sort our treasures from Sa Finally had a chance to sort our treasures from Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Folks, if you've never been and love sea shells, you gotta go! Unlike any beach I've ever been to anywhere. So fortunate to be traveling like this making memories with @welchpartyof3 and Adelaide ❤ #sanibel #captiva #seashells #shellyes #florida #snowbirds #rvliving #rvlife #welchpartyof3
