Why did we decide to embark on this adventure? Why now?
With so much to see in this world, and so little time in life, the real question is why NOT now?
A few years ago, we decided, “someday” we’d love to see the United States.
Consider this… the average adult male will live 73 years. That’s 876 months, 3,796 weeks and 26,645 days. On the surface, that seems like a lot, but when you think about it, currently I’m 35 (almost 36) and my wife is 34 (almost 35) – half of those available days are now behind us.
This has been our dream for about five years. In July last year (2010) Kimmer’s dad passed away and it made us realize how short life really is (though he did live a healthy 81 years). We’d been saving for the dream but officially decided, let’s make this a priority or at least provide ourselves a daily reminder of our dream. So we decided to spend the money and purchase our RV (and make sure that the monthly payments reminded us that we needed to be ON THE ROAD!)
So we did, and when we finally shared our plan, and the RV with Kimmer’s family, his mom shared with us that this was, in fact a dream of his as well. When he retired from the US Army in 1967, after many years stationed abroad and at various posts throughout the US, he suggested to my mom that they buy a camper and explore the wondrous United States. Four children aged 8-12 made it nearly impossible to logistically design such a trip, so they put the plan on the back burner until the kids were out of the house.
Unfortunately (though fortunate for their new addition Kimmer), when those four children reached high school, a surprise in the form of a new baby pulled the plans off the back burner and stuck them in the refrigerator for later consumption. Once we graduated from college, Kimmer’s father had retired a second time from Ameritech and, at almost 70, he and mom had little interest in hitting the open road.
What an amazing adventure they may have had, had circumstances… and life… not gotten in the way.
So, here we are, on June 5, 2011 embarking on the trip of a lifetime, a hectic journey onto the highways and biways of what is increasingly becoming a homogenized America to find what our mothers and fathers found comforting about the world besides the ease of Starbucks drive through and the simplicity of the Biggie sized meal.
What we really want you to consider is…
What have you always wanted to do? What have you been putting off?
Life is simply too short to put off plans. We’ve created this blog to share with you our journey and to make you consider, WHAT AM I WAITING FOR!!!!?
Love the website, can’t wait till you guys are on the road, this will be the first website I go to every evening (of course while playing hearts) to see where you are next, don’t forget to blog each evening and tell of your day/week….I am so excited for you guys. This will be an adventure of a lifetime and great stories to tell. Good Luck to you guys and happy traveling.
You’ve definitely inspired me. One of the things I’ve put off was going to college. I’m doing that now. More importantly I’ve been putting off seeing where my ancestors are from. Your inspiration has made me work toward seeing that through. Thank you Kimmer and Victoria!
What a great adventure and touching backstory! Have a wonderful time and be sure to document the good, bad AND ugly sides of the trip.
Oh, don’t worry… we will!

Your Friend Glen
Can’t wait Glen!
Congrats on going for your dreams! Good Luck and BE SAFE!
Awesome! Truly inspiring.
Met you guys today at the salon in Springfield Il. It was a pleasure!! I wish you both all the best of luck and safe travels. I will do this one day
Thank you so much. Victoria’s hair looks great!
Hey there guys I hope that your travels have been safe since I’ve seen u last! I met you when you when you came to The Keg in Blue Springs, MO. shortest parade route. I served you cold refreshing Landsharks. I’m so glad I checked the site out. I love the story and can’t wait to keep up on the rest. Right now I’m living with my boyfriends parents saving up to move to Denver. It’s been rough maintaining family life, which I haven’t had! Been on my own since I was 15. and cleaning up old messes! We are going to Denver for his medical reasons. And cause I need new scenery and better job in Concert lighting. Which I have found already! But feeling a little i guess bogged down trying to maintain my free spirit. I found your card while I was having a hard moment remembering the goals i have are more important, than making short term choices. I feel more centered now checking out your story thank you! Goes to show that things have a way working out when you have your eyes open to see them.
Hope all the best for you guys! and if you ever need anything drop a line. Oh if you go to Truckee outside of Tahoe seriously check out the Frisbee park there. pgda.com will help you locate it. It was a big park I’m sure trails and more. Thanks again! There’s also a dinner there in town it look like a old silver mobile home kind of great food and people. at least it was for me.

Of course we remember you, you’re the only person who has a cure for hiccups (that should be your career choice!)
We’re glad our story could help you remember your goals – one of my favorite quotes (we learned on the trip) is:
“Dream as though you’ll live forever, live as though you’ll die today.” – James Dean
Live like that, and every day will be awesome!
We should catch up if you’re in Denver when we get there.
Saw you guys on the Today show. Followed the website address. What you are doing is inspireing, best of luck!
Saw your sign on the Today show…I have to say it really rubbed me the wrong way. I can see now that (I think) you meant it tongue in cheek, but the reality is, saving up enough money to cover travel expenses for a year plus time to get settled after is a pipe dream for many people. Its not about foregoing “a new Lexus”, its about making sure your children are fed and clothed and have a roof over their heads. And to walk away from a stable (not sure if this was your case) job in a job market where demand vastly exceeds supply is dangerous and foolish for most. Just something to think about if you are planning on making a sign to be on TV again.
I wish you a safe, happy and enlightening trip.
Dear Kimmer & Victoria!
I feel that I was very blessed to meet you both on your travels through our small little town of Manti, Utah! Thank You so much for eating at Dirk’s Farmhouse! It’s people like you who make it worth getting up every morning! I love my job, because I get to here people’s stories and see new faces every day! The both of you and your story are AMAZING! I don’t know if anyone can top it! 2 people who I have never met made a huge diffrence in my life! It’s silly to say but I had a moment and could not help from crying for the nice gift you left me!
That little guesture got me thinking…The world needs more acts of kindness. Because of you 2 I’m going to do my best to pay it forward!!! You can say the 2 of you were an answer to my prayers. Thank you so much!!! Keep doing what your doing and I know you will touch thousands and thousands of lives. May God shine down on the both of you!!!
