Welcome to Travel Family Tribe!

We are a family that loves to go on adventures! You’ll find us camping, hiking, and monkeying around in the outdoors. Or dreaming of our next trip. We’ve been to Yellowstone yearly for the last 15+ years. We also enjoy finding petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, rocks, and trails we’ve never traveled.

We created this blog to encourage other families to come outside and enjoy the beauty, healing, and goodness of the great outdoors. And also as a little nudge to get us out more too!

We have found that our kids do so much better outside. And their favorite toys are sticks, rocks, and dirt! They play together with more imagination and adventure and the stress level drops for us all. We enjoy cooking over the fire and learning how to make tin foil dinners and burnt marshmallows.

These years with our kids are precious and fleeting, and we have found when we take time to focus on our family and get away from the house for a day or two, everything just is better. We play better, work better, and get along better.

We can offer a few guides for places we’ve been to and make it easier for you to go adventuring with your family. Knowing the planning, packing, and effort it takes to get the family ready, we wanted to just make it a little easier and help pave the way to make this all work. Our newsletter, which we send out a few times a year is filled with ideas and deals to make traveling more affordable and do-able.

Where we’ve been:

  • Yellowstone, Earthquake Lake, West Yellowstone
  • Bryce Canyon
  • Arches, Dead Horse Point, Corona Arch
  • Zion National Park, St.George area
  • Goblin Valley and surrounding slot canyons
  • Uintahs and surrounding area
  • Vernal, Dinosaur National Monument, Red Fleet State Park
  • Death Valley, California
  • Edisto State Park, South Carolina
  • Ceaser’s Head, South Carolina
  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Where we want to go:

  • National parks in Arizona, Idaho, California, New Mexico, and Wyoming, and… who am I kidding, I want to see them all.
  • Alaska! My son loves Forests!
  • Hawaii, to see sea turtles.
  • Japan, to see Nintendo World and eat amazing food.
  • Australia, to see where Bluey was created. We’re huge Bluey fans!
  • Backpacking trips to nearby locations.
  • And a few other places we haven’t thought of yet!

Where do you want to go?

Best wishes to you on your next outdoor adventure! 

Sincerely,

The Travel Family Tribe
