Hi, we're Colin and Angela

We're a couple from St. Louis who traded a normal schedule for the road a few years ago and started traveling full time. First it was the two of us and Jack, our German Shepherd, in a van, chasing winter sun down the Baja peninsula and fall color through the Rockies. In January 2026 our daughter Andi joined the crew, and three months later she was on her first road trip.

Since then she's been to eight countries and more than a dozen states. She's napped through Paris, dipped her toes in the Adriatic, and been held up in front of more lighthouses than any baby needs. Jack has opinions about all of it.

This blog is where we put the stuff that doesn't fit in a 30-second video: the actual routes, where we slept, what we packed, what we'd skip, and how we make it work with a baby and a big dog in a small space.

What you'll find here

• Trip guides for every place we've been, written for families traveling with a baby, a dog, or both.
• Van life with a baby: sleep, feeding, gear, and keeping your sanity in 80 square feet.
• Dog-friendly travel: beaches, trails, and national parks that welcome a German Shepherd, and the ones that don't.
