Note: Ben wrote a heartfelt letter to Liesel on our flight from Tahiti back to the US. After more than 7 months abroad and 10 months of full-time travel, he was a mixed bag of emotions about where we’d come from, what we’d done, and where we were going next. He wrote this for Liesel so that someday she would be able to read it and understand why we uprooted her stable, predictable life in California.

Hello! We're The FUNemployed Family and we sold it all to travel the world with our daughter. This video is from our 1st stop on our 'round the world trip, Lake Tahoe!!
In our FINAL WEEK in Lake Tahoe we went camping, had a mixed review hike in Emerald Bay and had some friends visit for a beach day. As always, we caught some great overhead shots with our drone! We also discuss our upcoming plans as we travel the world with our toddler.
If you enjoy this video, be sure to check out our other posts on Tahoe, including videos and a blog post with lots to do in this magical area!
BOATS & DRONES! For the last 3 weeks we've been spending our time finding family friendly hikes and beaches all around Lake Tahoe. This week we rented a boat and had some EPIC time exploring by water (& air!).
We brought our drone and what we saw from above was ridiculously good looking!!
For the last 2 weeks we've been spending our time finding family friendly hikes and beaches all around Lake Tahoe. This week we conquered the Cascade Falls Trail and hiked into a nude beach (oops!) in Nevada. Both destinations had some fun moments and AMAZING views.
We've quit our jobs and sold our house and things in search for a happier, simpler life where we can bond with our daughter, experience life, and give back to communities. Lake Tahoe is our first stop in our trip around the world and this week Liesel went on her first SUP and paddle boarded with us!. We would love if you would join us on our epic family adventure.
The last thing to do before we start our 'round the world adventure with our daughter was to drive the possessions (and cat) across the country to be stored with family. But, that's easier said than done. There were a couple mishaps along the way that could have been disastrous.
Let's recap: We've quit our career jobs. We've sold our 1st home. Now we're getting started on a journey around the world to spend more time with our daughter, develop new careers, and redefine our lives.
Today the house sale is official!!! : )
We are 2 weeks away from leaving the house, but only 3 days until Ben drives the moving truck filled with keepsakes across the country to be stored with family in Michigan!
In this episode we pack, and sort, and pack, and sort, and try to keep a normal balanced life for Liesel in the midst of this chaos. We are so excited to get started on our around the world adventure!!
So, are you wondering who our little munchkin is? Watch a day in the life of Liesel!
This week we are super busy packing boxes and selling a lot of items we don't need anymore, but we couldn't let a week go by without a vlog update!!
