Finding Mandee

Category: Travel

Because of the Army, we have been able to travel quite a bit in the past 10 years.

The travel bug bit us in 2011 when we left our home in rural Northwest Florida on a massive road trip to Fort Lewis in the state of Washington. While we traversed nearly the entire continental United States, we fell in love with traveling.

Since then, we have visited more than 25 states and 2 countries and all with our kids in tow! All of the destinations featured here are frugal, fun, and family-friendly.
