Now that we've had a full month to recover, we can finally reveal Rid's EPIC birthday at the @atlantisbahamas in the Bahamas 🇧🇸! If you've ever seen Holiday in the Sun (sorry but Mar can't be friends with you if you didn't go thru a Mary-Kate and Ashley phase), then you know of how insanely cool this hotel is! If not, this hotel should be high on your list as every detail is perfect - especially the sunken Atlantis themed aquarium, the water park that makes every adult feel like a kid, and if the amazingly strong rum drinks don't relax you, nothing will 🍹😜 So happy and fortunate we could live out this dream birthday for Rid after such a crazy year ❤️ . P. S. Can you spot the 🦈 in the first pic?! . . . #Bahamas #TheAtlantis #TheDig #TheFalls #Birthdaypost #crazystrongrumdrinks #Nobu #SeafireSteakhouse #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
We kicked off our post vaccination leg with a trip out to Miami and the Florida Keys. In a week we hit up the South Beach Miami art deco district, Biscayne National Park, saw a hermit crab eating a conch in Key Largo, ticked off a bucket list item in driving the overseas highway to Key West, ate all the key lime pie we could get our hands on and saw 🐊 from a fan boat in the Everglades! Key West really was the highlight though, cute old houses and party central on Duval St! Walking the streets with a boozy slurpee was definitely needed in the intensely humid weather! . . . #FloRIDa #Miami #KeyLargo #KeyWest #BiscayneNP #EvergladesNP #KeyLimePie #DuvalSt #NaturallyWeCalledItGatorade #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
At first I was afraid, then was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without these trees by my side But then I spent so many nights, thinking how we're gettin' strong Now we're made of rocks and we learned won't be ever gone... ... Unless tourists take, what looks like rock, Thinking that they want a piece of Triassic epoch. Go down Route 66 and get your tree fix, But don't take as NPS makes you leave your bit of tree, If rangers know of theft for one second, they impose a hefty fee! Go on now go, check out Blue Mesa trail, You can walk Long logs and Agate House slower than a snail, Weren't you the one who tried to walk Puerco Pueblo on the slow? Did you think we'd crumble? Did you think we'd lay down and petrify? Oh yes that's I, I'm petrified, As long as I'm a rock, I know I'm still alive, I've got paleontologists on a dig, and more millenia yet to live, And I'll survive, I'm petried hey hey! . . . #Iggly #Arizona #PetrifiedForestNP #NPS #28stop #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
Even though we love the US National Parks, there are still a bunch of other amazing sights to see that haven't been formally listed!! We ended our tour of New Mexico with a visit to two different Native American archeological sites - Pecos National Historical Park with the iconic Adobes and Bandelier National Monument where ancient cave dwellers used ladders to live in the walls of the canyons. And of course you can't do New Mexico without a Tomasita’s swirlie and sopaipilla (IYKYK 😍) . . . #Iggly #NewMexico #SantaFe #PecosNationalHistoricalPark #BandelierNationalMonument #Tomasitas #Swirlies #Sopaipillas #Albuquerque #25-27stops #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
If you know Marlie, then you know she's obsessed with 👽👽👽 so no visit to New Mexico would be complete without visiting Roswell! While she might not have totally convinced Rid, he definitely enjoyed the cheesy alien exhibits and souvenirs. Don't stop believing.... But trust no one, the truth is out there and phone home✌🏼 . . . #Iggly #NewMexico #Roswell #WeBelieve #closeencounters #25-27stops #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
From White Sands National Park we skirted into the very top of Texas at El Paso and headed to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, where we hiked the McKittrick Canyon Trail. We thought the GMNP wasn’t as spectacular as a lot of the other parks we’d visited so don’t waste your time in the canyon, you’ll find it much better in the cavern! We were awestruck by the Carlsbad Caverns NP in New Mexico - so incredible! Do yourself a favor and don’t take the elevator down. Sure, you have to descend slopes down into the cavern that are equivalent to the height of the Empire State Building but you won’t be disappointed! . . . #Iggly #NewMexico #Texas #GuadalupeMountainsNP #CarlsbadCavernsNP #23and24stops #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
In New Mexico you can find, The Whitest Sands that are around! The Three Rivers site has petroglyphs abound, The Giant pistachio and roadrunner astound! In Truth or Consequences you should seek Riverbend Hot Springs to dip your feet. Santa Fe’s art district is chic, Las Cruces is also worth a peek! So get out there and grab a mate As New Mexico is such a great State, You’ll be sure to have a nice date, But remember a Tomasita’s swirley to go with your plate! . . . #Iggly #NewMexico #LasCruces #WhiteSandsNationalPark #ThreeRiversPetroglyphSite #PistachioLand #RoadRunner #RiverBendHotSprings #TruthorConsequences #22ndstop #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
When in Tucson don’t pass by, the best place to see cacti. In Saguaro National Park you’ll find, cactuses of every kind! Just make sure you say Suh-waa-row correct, Else the locals will think you inept! . . . #Iggly #Arizona #Tuscon #SaguaroNagionalPark #Cactus #Cacti #Saguaros #21thstop #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
No roadtrip is complete until friends have christened staying in the RV for the weekend! After seeing some of the sights of Northern Arizona, we were pumped to have @tor0701 and @tsylican drive out to meet us for some hiking, desert boot camps, and wine tasting in beautiful Sedona. Nice to have a break from the national park circuit to hang with friends and take everyday just a little bit slower. Perfect weekend getaway from our nomadic life 😜 . . . #Iggly #Arizona #Sedona #WalnutCanyon #CliffDwellers #WupatkiNM #NorthRimGrandCanyon #20thstop #WineNot #RVLife #USroadtrip #usnationalparkstour #tinyhome #worldnomads #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #traveladdict #beautifuldestinations #ourplanetdaily #lovetheworld #lonelyplanet #coupleswhotravel #bucketlist #roundtheworld #natgeotravel #themarridlife
