Glacier National Park, MT
Saturday, August 12, 2023 We started our journey at Pittsburgh International Airport in the early afternoon on Saturday, August 12, 2023.

Getting Charlotte
April 5-9, 2023 We had been looking at vans for a long time. From about our third year of dating, Jeff and I discovered van life and dreamed of it ever since. We had originally wanted to purchase a Ford Transit and outfit it ourselves. However, we quickly realized our dreams were a lot larger…
