Birthdays on The Road

We have been living and traveling in our Open Range Fifth Wheel for almost 5 years now. That’s five years of celebrating birthdays on the road. This lifestyle is what our kids know and is a huge part of their childhood. With that said we still wanted them to experience some of their birthdays in our hometown with friends and family. So, we do a mixture of both.

The first few years we decided to switch it up each year. That meant if you had this year’s birthday with a big party in our hometown that the next year would be spent on the road with more of and experience just the 4 of us. They were only 1.5 and 3 when we started our travel journey, so this worked out great. We made sure they got the best of both worlds and got to experience birthdays on the road and in our hometown.

I recently read that RV’ing can save an average family of 4, 23-59% than a traditional vacation. This means more vacations, more birthdays out on the road, and more experiences we might not have been able to have before RV life.
