My family of meandering Michiganders are on a quest to see all 50 states before the kids graduate high school. Adventure awaits!

@tspadventure I'm the plan ahead type so June 2025 on Holland America! COVID cancelled our 2020 one so this is try #2

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

Glad you're playing larger venues this year @zachlanebryan Grand Rapids had sold out before I could snag tickets but we officially have tickets to Buckeye Country Superfest 2024! Kiddos' first concert is going to be epic! #familyfun #countrymusic

Kalahari > Great Wolf Lodge
💦 End of debate.

Love traveling to OH when OH kids are already back in school. Perfect, non crowded way for us Michiganders who are NOT in school yet to enjoy the last weekend of summer!

When you have a fancy, expensive cat tower but she prefers the dog's crate. #Cat #pets #family

@FamTravelFolio Make one packing list (different sections sure but 1 list)...I've made multiple lists before and forgot I had that second list and only packed what was on the first list

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@flyawaycouple I'd barter to see if I could get more PTO or something or negotiate to 5%. With no travel to or from work, no work wardrobe, no gas I do save. Not that from their end it makes sense to cut my pay but I do love work from home.

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@ChristineLozada Yes! We do this all the time!

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@ChristineLozada Hard to pick just one but the redwood trees!

@bollingerbabe1 @flyawaycouple So true! We're booked on HAL and it's only around 2000 people. Mega ships seem crazy to me.

@flyawaycouple From research, no personal experience, princess

Education is important don't miss school for family vacations they say...easy for them to say! Airline spring break prices are making me think skipping school sounds like a stellar plan (& I'm a teacher!) #flights #familyvacation Who would even pay $1700/ea DTW to MCO! Crazy!

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

Woohoo! Got ours! Can't wait to enjoy a mini weekend in my favorite city while seeing the Pens! #hockey #Pittsburgh

[Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins]

Is it October yet?!

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@Chalkcheese111 A6, MI start. thru Iowa and Nebraska out to enjoy the Dakotas and then back. #travchat

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@Chalkcheese111 A1: with my family of four. We have our rhythm down. Not a fan of larger groups roadtripping together. Everyone has their own pace. #travchat

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@Chalkcheese111 A5: hard to pick just one but one of many was a drive from MI to SC to Georgia to FL then flew back. I've embraced one way roadtrips fit more into limited PTO. Hit Charleston & enjoyed Tybee Island/Savannah with in laws, and wrapped up seeing great grandparents in FL. #travchat

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@paulpassingthru Yah I read they beta tested that. I didn't know if it was confirmed tho if it was successful and coming back next yr. I'll keep an eye out

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@paulpassingthru Got our rental house all picked out for next June. Can't wait to see Moab and the NPs near by!

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@MikeBarberNet So we are at Millers last week and LOVED the food! Thanks again for the suggestion. Much appreciated!

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

Hit me with the best OBX restaurant for a date night. Parents are taking the kids and we're celebrating 13 years so don't let me down! We're not fancy people, but bonus points for ocean views while eating. #obx #anniversary #restaurants

[Ry @MeanderingMIer]

@Chalkcheese111 A1; Yes! Was camping with a bunch of 2nd & 3rd grade girl scouts when huge thunder lightning rain storm hit middle night. One tent collapsed we had to relocate everyone to their event hall to sleep. Had to try to stay all positive and cheery so they weren't scared.
