First, thank you for all the recommendations! We already have one on our list—we’ll be trying Monell’s thanks to @Ashley Welch! I’m excited to see what all the hype is about. 💙 Founding Members: The updated beta links are now available in the Founding Members module! You can also now upload and save your own recommendations inside the app. 🎉 If you have a favorite place, business, restaurant, activity, or hidden gem, go add it! One thing I’ve learned on this road trip… kids don’t just need bathroom breaks—they need wiggle breaks. 😂 Every time we stopped, I let them run. Sprint to a tree, race each other, do jumping jacks—whatever it takes to burn off some energy before getting back in the car. I’ll share a video because they crack me up. (Yes… I even made them race to my aunt and uncle’s house when we got here. 🤣) Then my oldest said something that really stuck with me: “Mom, this is the most fun I’ve had with you in a while.” ❤️ That one hit me right in the heart. It reminded me that while I’m building something I’m incredibly passionate about, these little moments matter just as much. So I’m making a conscious effort to unplug a bit this week and be fully present with my boys. Don’t worry—I won’t disappear! I’ll still be checking in, and @Zandria Pearson will be helping keep things rolling by posting on my behalf too. 😊 So please keep asking questions, sharing recommendations, and engaging with each other. I absolutely love seeing everyone help one another. Now I need your travel wisdom… 🚗 What are your favorite ways to break up a long road trip? Whether it’s something you do for your kids to help them get their wiggles out, fun games you play, favorite road trip snacks, or even something you do as an adult to make the drive more enjoyable—I want to hear it! Let’s build a thread full of great ideas for everyone.

My boys and I are going road trippin this coming weekend. Is there anyone along our path we should stop and say hi to in person?! OR Do you have a recs on places to stop on our adventure?

Y'all please help me welcome @Skyla Faulkner to the 6DegreesApp community! She and her husband, @Harold Faulkner, run the community Unemployed Abroad. A community for digital nomads who want to make money and travel the world. How cool that y'all figured out how to do that together and now help others do the same! I'm so grateful you're both here!
