Taking Leo travelling and exploring new environments is so good for his development and socialization. My bet is you’re going to visit Eamon and Bec and their little one. Enjoy the rest of your vancation. .
My goodness Allie and bless your heart because hearing you being stung in the hand on your trip took me back to when you were in Italy 🇮🇹 with that awful,painful eye infection 🙏 safe travels ❤
Honestly feeling emotional see you traveling as a family, in a van, crossing borders, with kiddos! So beautiful! Glad it's going well despite the hiccups.
We lived outside of Chicago for 50 years and moved out of Illinois in 2016. Illinois is very strict on speeding in a construction zone. They never let you off the hook . It’s a guaranteed ticket. There have been a lot of fatalities with construction works. I’m sorry you didn’t notice the change in speeds! I don’t know how fast you were going over. Depending how fast you were going it could be jail time. Look up Illinois construction ticket fines. You may want to consult with an attorney that deals with traffic violations.
Yep, I, too, got pulled over in a Chicago construction zone. My son, whose we’re heading for a visit, said, “I know why you got pulled over. You had an out of state license.” Thank goodness I ended up with a warning!!! I was 5 miles over!!! You are having quite the adventure!! Leo and Billy are such good travelers! Glad you survived sleeping in Gary, IN! Sorry about that bee sting….ouch! It is wonderful that you are taking a well deserved break, connecting with old friends, and making fun memories! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Congrats for making it through two of the most dangerous cities in the United States. I live 25 minutes south of Detroit, and when traveling, i avoid it at all costs. I really like your van the elevator bed is priceless!!!
I'm LOVING you being back on the road in a van! Things: Thing 1: being asked to get into a police vehicle when you've been stopped is normal here in the UK. They will often do a breath test as well as checking documentation. Course, over here the cops dont have guns and there's very little fear of 'what will they do?"! Thing 2: seeing Allie striding through Chicago with one son strapped to her and one in a buggy, her hair blowing in the wind, smiling, and looking confident and excited is an absolute joy! I am in awe of you, Allie, you are a Wonder Woman!
The term WINDY CITY, really has nothing to do with the wind (though Chicago can definitely be windy) it comes from about 100 years ago when politicians in Chicago were known as WIND BAGS. And the name stuck.
I've been an officer for 39 years. Pulling someone out of their car is a way, but can change from state to state. This is also a way to talk to people by separating them specifically when the vehicle stopped has an out of state tag. Numerous state police agencies do this for safety reasons and not stand on the side of the road.
your country is soooo dumb. united states of america? 1 country? and then you have dumb out of state tag laws for the states in the same country? your dumb politicians should spend time making a simple rule 1 tag cam be used in all the states!
Just so you know, it was just a drug interdiction stop. Yes, this is normal. You’re in a van, out of state tags. Typical for these kinds of stops. They separate you and ask each of you the same questions to make sure you give the same answers. The fact that you were not searched means they were ok with the stop. Also, read the options on the ticket. It may not be mandatory to appear but just one of three options.
Good morning Family! So thrilled you’re on the road again & visiting your friends! I am Happy Trent is getting quality time with the boys. Allie you’re amazing to travel with 2 small children in a van💕🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
They said in the last video they were staying at paid campgrounds because of the kids. No Walmart freebies this trip. So, they were in a campground not at Walmart or Cracker Barrell.
I was harassed in Ohio by state troopers. I was driving a 24’ RV, California plates. They said it was odd I was alone 🙄 They lured me away from my RV, then grabbed my phone out of my hands, LOCKED me in their car while they searched my RV for 20 minutes. The initial stop was ‘following too close’ which was BS. Then they had a dog walk around the RV and said it alerted them 🙄BS again. Glad your situation turned out okay. I’m happy to be living in Panama where the police aren’t militarized. 🇵🇦
Why would you let them search ur rv with out a search warrant ? You should of made them get a supervisor , The VR was your home they had 0 right to search it. You didn't even need to get out to talk to them , being odd is not a crime . Better learn about how to handle cops that pull you over lol
@@Canuckgirl152 Believe me, I tried. I did not want to get out. I did not want to walk away from my RV, it’s within my rights to video them, they did not express probable cause for a dog. That’s the point. They use intimidation and threats to do what they want. I called the supervising chief after and he was a robot ‘they have the right’. It was gross to go back inside and see ALL my stuff thrown around, like it was a robbery.
I've never seen that happen! I'm in PA and have gotten pulled over for speeding but didn't have to get out of the car. Nice to see you travel again! You guys look right in your element. The boys are so precious 💕
WOW!!! Allie, so sorry about the bee bite especially for the swelling and pain😮... You're such a sport handling it with a smile!!!😊 Leo he's such a sweetheart😊❤ very cool trip you both handled it so well nice to see you enjoy yourself with the little ones getting to see the world!!!✌️❤️
Wow! Look at Billy holding up his head! My husband hates Chicago traffic, but you young folks did a great job navigating. My kids and grandkids always loved the science center. Such an educational experience. Great video! In the future, keep some Accent with you for bee stings.
I just got back from spending last weekend in Detroit. I lived 2 hours north of there in H.S. and we always avoided it, but its actually really nice now. At least the downtown and the riverfront was amazing!
I got pulled over for driving too slow on a highway at 2 in the morning in a rain storm while lost. The cop was actually very nice lead me the next town & arranged for a cop in that town to lead me to where I was going.
Was joyfully exhaling when you said you’re headed to Canada. It was my first thought when you indicated you were headed east. Actually spoiler alert was clip of you at The Roastery with Jordon , Kalie and Sadie. I recognize how I’ve come to appreciate all the connections. I may have been introduced to the cast with a long rugged mountain bike trail ride the boys were doing. So much water under so many bridges. Glad you’re finding your flow. Enjoying your road trip with kids.
This is a common practice in Illinois. There has been several deaths of construction workers on I55 & I80. They even created some signs a few years back to warn about the construction zones and workers. In general the State police are decent. Some of the actual Chicago Police are a different story. Please do your research on areas you have been traveling in that part of the country. Gary, IN, Lower Wacker Drive etc. These places are notorious for crime of all sorts.
Got pulled over in Wisconsin for 6 over once and they pulled me out into their car too. The look on his face when I told him I was doing 6 over without batting an eye was amazing. Out here in New England if you're not doing 15 over, the cops don't even leave dunks to pull you over.
@@quaithom3138 Like any other state, it has it's ups and downs, right! I personally love Illinois and Chicago. So much to do and see :) Plus so many cultures have deep connections with the city it's beautiful.
Being put into the back of a police car is not new. Being stopped & accused of things like straying between lane lines, touching white line, driving exceptionally slow, erratically, & out of control even in heavy rain & wind are common new buzz words they say imply drunk driver & use to stop. The chat is to try to find more to charge you (alcohol, drugs), to justify the stop, & is the new standard since laws changed on stopping. Yet, the key thing is those large signs saying speeding in construction can result in high fines & jail time is really because of there was an increase in deaths of construction workers & others. The state has had massive construction projects the last few years improving interstate highways, making speeding, road rage, & crazing driving increase. This week a 28 yr old state police officer was killed, in Illinois, because someone violated traffic laws. Hard to see the jokes, humor, or insults on this topic.
I am happy that you got a chance to experience riding "The El" (yes Trent, elevated transit/train) It brought back memories of growing up in The Chi. The traffic stop was not uncommon for construction zone violations. Illinois State Police are pretty strict. I hope you don't get home and find you have electronic traffic violations for driving in the city. Chicago is very strict for "rolling stops". All intersections are equipped with cameras that can detect the smallest of traffic infractions. They send pictures of your license plate (tags) in the mail with very detailed information and a fine! So glad you guys had a good time and great adventures in the new van! Sorry about the bee sting, Allie.
I've lived in the Chicago suburbs my entire 69 years and while a ticket was deserved speeding through a construction zone I have never ever heard of someone getting out of their car and into the police vehicle for a stop like that. I can tell you, as a woman, I would not have willingly entered the officer's vehicle.
Love that you visited the Detroit Michigan Science Center. I live 25 minutes from that place and never been. So it’s in my list to take my 3 year old grand daughter. Bees have been staying longer here due to our warm weather. Ice and Benadryl. You guys are rocking van life!
Call one of those companies that deal with tickets, TicketClinic or something.. It used to be much more common in the midwest to go sit in the cruiser while they ran your info.
🤍🍏🫖 And for the record, they didn’t pull you out of the car/van he asked you to get out and you agreed to do that. So for anyone who’s just watching this snippet know, Trent was not pulled out of the van by the police officer. In this day and age, be careful how you say things because you make it sound literal and that’s very dangerous.
I got a ticket in the mail driving from NJ to NC a camera on the side of the road in a construction zone in Maryland took my speed and picture of my car. So annoying. I was so proud of myself because i thought my speeding was under control the whole trip. Imagine my surprise 2 months later when the ticket arrived!!!! I love Leo. He's an old soul, just like my son was at that age. Aw, i so miss it. He's 23 now!
Only Trent and Allie can make me watch a 30 plus minute video about a traffic stop and a bee sting 😂 and im entertained the entire time. Love from Cincinnati guys 💚
As a former Corporate Safety Director for a construction company, I believe the officer did you a favor! Once you pay this fine and all the costs associated with it, you’ll be more cognizant of construction zones and likely never make that mistake again. Sadly, I have worked on numerous vehicular homicide fatality cases over the years. The usual line is “I didn't know”… When literally right outside your window during the traffic stop is an orange safety barrel and one every 250’ (depending on the speed limit) throughout the work zone. FYI - The larger projects in Illinois and many other states have hired LEO costs built into the bid proposals. Also, in Illinois, fines double in construction zones and as you learned, require a court appearance. You could also see an insurance company rate hikes as well. Because construction zone speeding points are similar to school zone speeding points and often result in premium increases. If possible, pay the higher fine to get court supervision. You really don't want this type of ticket on your record. Its not just you Trent, we all need to be more aware when entering/driving through a construction zone. Ironically, we all know when we’ve hit the end of one but don't recognize the beginning. 🤔
I live in Illinois, and I make every effort to drive the speed limit. I feel like driving the speed limit, especially near Chicago, is almost impeding traffic. I don't know how to feel about your experience because speeders frustrate me to no end (and I know I frustrate them). I am happy someone is enforcing the speed limit, but I also seldom see it when I drive. Folks drive crazy around here.
Got stopped in Illinois for exactly the same thing. I was the last vehicle in a line of seven, all going the same speed.. It was exactly the same, give me your materials, then without checking first get out and come to my car. I reused to get in his car at first, that up set him when I asked why I should get in, he said for safety sake, I was on the grass along the road. I guess by refusing him he gave me a ticket for 158 dollars. I found out later the normal ticket was 58.00. He told me since I was from Indiana I should send the payment in to the address on the ticket and a warning not to speed in Illinois again. Very rude, I mentioned that when I sent in the check to pay.
They do that in other states. When I was a kid growing up in Ohio, my Mom, who was driving, was taken to the police car for a simple traffic violation.
Hi. Exactly the same thing happened to us in the UK about 12 years ago and my husband was asked to step into the back of the police car. At the time we were towing our caravan and were on our way from the north of England to the south coast. Luckily we had our insurance documents with us as the police car had picked up that we had no insurance! We had and it had renewed 4 months previously. We found out that the insurance company had NOT updated the DVLA! Because the police had stopped us we had to leave the motorway at the next exit and ring the insurance company to get things corrected. So Ali I know EXACTLY how you felt when Trent had to get into the back of the police vehicle. Really upsetting. So pleased that you were able to carry on with your journey xx🤩
That postpartum spouse attachment is real! I hated my husband leaving the room for months after our son was born. I can only imagine the stress Allie was feeling with Trent being in a cop car. I guess there will be a Trent in Chicago video or mention of Trent going in the future. Stay safe ❤ from Oregon.
The fact that you were so freaked out by the police stop speaks volumes about what it means to live in your country! Quite mind-blowing for a Brit, or European in general!
Seems the police was doing his job, enforcing the law. Why people expect to be allowed to just get off is a mystery to me. A cop has no idea who is in a car when they pull it over, it is the most dangerous part of their job. The cop had no way of knowing Trent and Allie are good people.
I know someone who received a speeding ticket out of their state and they too were required to appear in court. They called the phone # on the ticket & the court waived them appearing in person. They mailed in the fee with the courts approval. Try calling. Glad it wasn't any worse of a situation
Sorry that Allie got stung, I hope it is healing up for you. I know that Leo is going to see a lovely little girl named Sadie. and have some fun. and Trent is going to be doing some work. Have a wonderful time
We had a wired and scary encounter in NH one time. Florida plates. We had bags of laundry in the back on our way to the laundry mat. They asked my kids if we were there parents and why were even there. Finally loosened up when we told them we were visiting relatives up there
This was missing in y'all channel traveling. Seeing the world doing what y'all like doing when I first started following y'all were hang out with Bec&Eamon, others, couple's glad y'all back in the road for bit have fun in y'all adventures. ❤
I had stings when I was on holiday in Orlando when I went out to the car to collect parcels from the trunk of the car. I literally screamed as it was so painful and I thought I had been bitten by a snake. When I went to the pharmacist, she told me that I had been stung by what they called skinny wasps. She gave me medication but I had an extremely sore hand for a couple of weeks. Hope that’s not what you have Allie and it feels better soon.
You handled that traffic stop with the police very well, Allie!! I’m sure you were feeling and thinking all kinds of things in that moment. Sorry about the ticket though, that’s not fun. It had been SO awesome to see you guys back on the road still & love that the babes are enjoying it too!! Cant wait to see next weeks episode in Canada!! 🍁 Adios! 🫶🏼
Two things that can help a bee/wasp sting, fire ant bite. 1) Make a paste with baking soda, put it on the sting/bite and bandage over it to hold it there for at least an hour. 2) If you are where you can find some plantain herb (yep, the lawn weed), chew it up, put on the bite, again bandage it in place.
Enjoy the podcast with Eamon and Beck. I'm sure you all will have a blast. I'm so sorry you got a ticket. You have a good attitude and are an example for everyone.
I know the L in Philly is because its the elevated train so imagine that Trent was correct on that👍🏻This has been a really fun video! Like watching you guys in the old days❤️❤️
That was harassment because of your van and out of state tags, BS! So great to see you in Vermont with Kaylee and Jordan building their tiny house,Rockin!!!!!
20:39 😮Painful!! I worked construction for Facebook, 3 buildings, 640,000 sq ft each and the highest medical treatment needs were....yep! Bee stings!! My boss picked up his can drink and BAM!! 🐝 Right on his upper lip! Stayed swollen for 3 days!! So sorry you're having to deal with this 😔
There is so much to see and do in Chicago- I hope you are able to go back sometime- the Natural History Museum, the Aquarium, Lake Michigan & the beach would’ve been great fun for Leo! We used to live in SW Michigan and we’d go to Chicago for fun - our kids lived the Natural History Museum with the dinosaurs. Thanks for taking us along ! A Gram from MO😘
Having out of state license plates and speeding are two of the things illinois does a lot of. I live in illinois just off of I80 hear a lot of stops. Love your channell have fun on your trip. stay safe
Lot's of people would have taken this opportunity to bash the police. Thank you for not doing that. There are good police officers and bad ones. The good ones always take the heat for the bad and I am glad you just told told us what happened without judgement. Hope your trip was fun!!!!
Fun times in Chicago, great seeing the bean, Leo chilling on the steps and little Billy checking out the town. That deep dish looked delicious. Omg your hand! Ouch. Hope it gets better soon. Oh what great fun in the science museum. Oh Wow, love your friends gym, awesome to meet up and hang out for a while. Loving the road trip. Great vlog. :)
I loved crossing over to Windsor and looking back at Detroit. We went in August. We also visited the Ford Museum. My husband’s home is in Toledo but lives now in Mississippi with me. Enjoy your trip. Safe travels.
I was married to a State Trooper and this is a normal situation, each State is different. But driving through a construction zone above the speed limit is another story. He was trying to give you maybe advice about being more observant in a construction zone which is a dangerous job for employee's that work on those highways and want to go home safely after their work is done??? Awareness of sign's is very important now right? So sorry you had that happen and an expensive experience for sure.
Taking Leo travelling and exploring new environments is so good for his development and socialization. My bet is you’re going to visit Eamon and Bec and their little one. Enjoy the rest of your vancation. .
My goodness Allie and bless your heart because hearing you being stung in the hand on your trip took me back to when you were in Italy 🇮🇹 with that awful,painful eye infection 🙏 safe travels ❤
Honestly feeling emotional see you traveling as a family, in a van, crossing borders, with kiddos! So beautiful! Glad it's going well despite the hiccups.
You're children are the sweetest kids. I love listening to Leo converse with you.

Yup, it’s a common misconception.
I am so happy to see your family out and about, adventuring in the van. Allie, sorry about your sting, not fun. Safe travels and enjoy your best life.
I've been an officer for 39 years. Pulling someone out of their car is a way, but can change from state to state. This is also a way to talk to people by separating them specifically when the vehicle stopped has an out of state tag. Numerous state police agencies do this for safety reasons and not stand on the side of the road.
Safety is BS. Look at statistics. Working in LE is way less dangerous than at least 20 other professions.
Exactly - too unsafe to stand on the highway.
your country is soooo dumb. united states of america? 1 country? and then you have dumb out of state tag laws for the states in the same country? your dumb politicians should spend time making a simple rule 1 tag cam be used in all the states!
I’m surprised at the negativity against our police protecting road workers.
What MARVELOUS, FANTASTIC ADVENTURE!! Thank you for taking us along. I'm so looking forward to Monday's installment. Stay safe! ❤
Just so you know, it was just a drug interdiction stop. Yes, this is normal. You’re in a van, out of state tags. Typical for these kinds of stops. They separate you and ask each of you the same questions to make sure you give the same answers. The fact that you were not searched means they were ok with the stop. Also, read the options on the ticket. It may not be mandatory to appear but just one of three options.
If people only knew who are biggest drug dealers in the country
They do know - they just don't want to look like profiling
The first part of what you said is so, not true because this goes on in urban area multiple times a day it is not normal.
Not normal!!
But they didn't ask her any questions at all...🙄
Good morning Family! So thrilled you’re on the road again & visiting your friends! I am Happy Trent is getting quality time with the boys. Allie you’re amazing to travel with 2 small children in a van💕🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Holy crap! You slept in the Van in Gary! You're lucky you woke up with wheels or didn't get Van Jacked!!!
I grew up in Gary. Luckey to be alive!
I'm next town south. Glad you came out of there safe. Fun video to watch.
I was born in Gary lol
They said in the last video they were staying at paid campgrounds because of the kids. No Walmart freebies this trip. So, they were in a campground not at Walmart or Cracker Barrell.

That was a drug interdiction stop. Questions were seeing if your story matched up. Red flags would have had him press to search.
Yep fishing trip by the pigs.
@@davids1033 Cops are not pigs. The officer was doing his job to keep the roads safe for everyone else.
@@perryeising keep licking them boots.
Cops around Chicago often do that , especially on the highways for SAFETY. From both cars on the road and possible dangers within the cars they stop.
I've lived in the Chicago suburbs my entire 69 years and while a ticket was deserved speeding through a construction zone I have never ever heard of someone getting out of their car and into the police vehicle for a stop like that. I can tell you, as a woman, I would not have willingly entered the officer's vehicle.
This is common in the UK when you get pulled over for a speeding ticket. They do it so they can lecture you a bit about your speed.

Call one of those companies that deal with tickets, TicketClinic or something.. It used to be much more common in the midwest to go sit in the cruiser while they ran your info.
You must have been flying to get pulled over here. 80 is a min speed on any highway in Illinois
80 on 80
They were in a construction zone, though.
🤍🍏🫖 And for the record, they didn’t pull you out of the car/van he asked you to get out and you agreed to do that. So for anyone who’s just watching this snippet know, Trent was not pulled out of the van by the police officer. In this day and age, be careful how you say things because you make it sound literal and that’s very dangerous.
Exactly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are really strict about speeding in construction zones in Chicago.
I got a ticket in the mail driving from NJ to NC a camera on the side of the road in a construction zone in Maryland took my speed and picture of my car. So annoying. I was so proud of myself because i thought my speeding was under control the whole trip. Imagine my surprise 2 months later when the ticket arrived!!!! I love Leo. He's an old soul, just like my son was at that age. Aw, i so miss it. He's 23 now!
Only Trent and Allie can make me watch a 30 plus minute video about a traffic stop and a bee sting 😂 and im entertained the entire time. Love from Cincinnati guys 💚
As a former Corporate Safety Director for a construction company, I believe the officer did you a favor! Once you pay this fine and all the costs associated with it, you’ll be more cognizant of construction zones and likely never make that mistake again.
Sadly, I have worked on numerous vehicular homicide fatality cases over the years. The usual line is “I didn't know”… When literally right outside your window during the traffic stop is an orange safety barrel and one every 250’ (depending on the speed limit) throughout the work zone.
FYI - The larger projects in Illinois and many other states have hired LEO costs built into the bid proposals. Also, in Illinois, fines double in construction zones and as you learned, require a court appearance. You could also see an insurance company rate hikes as well. Because construction zone speeding points are similar to school zone speeding points and often result in premium increases. If possible, pay the higher fine to get court supervision. You really don't want this type of ticket on your record.
Its not just you Trent, we all need to be more aware when entering/driving through a construction zone. Ironically, we all know when we’ve hit the end of one but don't recognize the beginning. 🤔
Chicago is notorious for this. But Utah has some of the highest highway speeds like 80mh, but some highways near Chicago are 55 without construction.
It was an attempt to catch a van full of weed from the west, he was hoping you gave him PC for a search.
I live in Illinois, and I make every effort to drive the speed limit. I feel like driving the speed limit, especially near Chicago, is almost impeding traffic. I don't know how to feel about your experience because speeders frustrate me to no end (and I know I frustrate them). I am happy someone is enforcing the speed limit, but I also seldom see it when I drive. Folks drive crazy around here.
Got stopped in Illinois for exactly the same thing. I was the last vehicle in a line of seven, all going the same speed.. It was exactly the same, give me your materials, then without checking first get out and come to my car. I reused to get in his car at first, that up set him when I asked why I should get in, he said for safety sake, I was on the grass along the road. I guess by refusing him he gave me a ticket for 158 dollars. I found out later the normal ticket was 58.00. He told me since I was from Indiana I should send the payment in to the address on the ticket and a warning not to speed in Illinois again. Very rude, I mentioned that when I sent in the check to pay.
I’m amazed you made it out of Chicago at night.
They do that in other states. When I was a kid growing up in Ohio, my Mom, who was driving, was taken to the police car for a simple traffic violation.
Hi. Exactly the same thing happened to us in the UK about 12 years ago and my husband was asked to step into the back of the police car. At the time we were towing our caravan and were on our way from the north of England to the south coast. Luckily we had our insurance documents with us as the police car had picked up that we had no insurance! We had and it had renewed 4 months previously. We found out that the insurance company had NOT updated the DVLA! Because the police had stopped us we had to leave the motorway at the next exit and ring the insurance company to get things corrected. So Ali I know EXACTLY how you felt when Trent had to get into the back of the police vehicle. Really upsetting. So pleased that you were able to carry on with your journey xx🤩
You guys had me worried. Poor Leo was scared for daddy. Glad you made it okay.
Some times they will ask you to get out of your car if you have small children so it doesn't stress the kids out as much.
That postpartum spouse attachment is real! I hated my husband leaving the room for months after our son was born. I can only imagine the stress Allie was feeling with Trent being in a cop car. I guess there will be a Trent in Chicago video or mention of Trent going in the future. Stay safe ❤ from Oregon.
Hire a Chicago lawyer to appear for you. There are a bunch of billboards with phone numbers attached
Excited to watch your visit to one of my favorite cities....and where I have family. Hope you get to the zoo and Science Center with Leo.
The fact that you were so freaked out by the police stop speaks volumes about what it means to live in your country! Quite mind-blowing for a Brit, or European in general!
Yes, the police are a bit out of control in this country. Not every policeman, of course, but enough to make even outstanding white people nervous.
Looks like you drove past where I live, just outside of Detroit. Welcome!
Also to be fair, most of the stress probably is from their memories of the incident in Columbia.
Drama for UA-cam only
Seems the police was doing his job, enforcing the law. Why people expect to be allowed to just get off is a mystery to me. A cop has no idea who is in a car when they pull it over, it is the most dangerous part of their job. The cop had no way of knowing Trent and Allie are good people.
I know someone who received a speeding ticket out of their state and they too were required to appear in court. They called the phone # on the ticket & the court waived them appearing in person. They mailed in the fee with the courts approval. Try calling. Glad it wasn't any worse of a situation
Sorry that Allie got stung, I hope it is healing up for you. I know that Leo is going to see a lovely little girl named Sadie. and have some fun. and Trent is going to be doing some work. Have a wonderful time
The only time that I've ever experienced this multiple times on UA-cam was when they suspect you of drug smuggling
We had a wired and scary encounter in NH one time. Florida plates. We had bags of laundry in the back on our way to the laundry mat. They asked my kids if we were there parents and why were even there. Finally loosened up when we told them we were visiting relatives up there
Such an exciting fun trip you're having. I'm looking forward to the next video smile😃
This was missing in y'all channel traveling. Seeing the world doing what y'all like doing when I first started following y'all were hang out with Bec&Eamon, others, couple's glad y'all back in the road for bit have fun in y'all adventures. ❤
Wow, that was kinda scary 😨 😳 😬 but you all did the right thing, stayed calm.😅
I had stings when I was on holiday in Orlando when I went out to the car to collect parcels from the trunk of the car. I literally screamed as it was so painful and I thought I had been bitten by a snake. When I went to the pharmacist, she told me that I had been stung by what they called skinny wasps. She gave me medication but I had an extremely sore hand for a couple of weeks. Hope that’s not what you have Allie and it feels better soon.
You handled that traffic stop with the police very well, Allie!! I’m sure you were feeling and thinking all kinds of things in that moment. Sorry about the ticket though, that’s not fun. It had been SO awesome to see you guys back on the road still & love that the babes are enjoying it too!! Cant wait to see next weeks episode in Canada!! 🍁 Adios! 🫶🏼
Wow, what an amazing trip, you guys are so lucky , enjoy every minute ❤
Yay welcome to Canada! Torontois about 45min from my home! Cannot wait to see Mondays video ❤
Two things that can help a bee/wasp sting, fire ant bite. 1) Make a paste with baking soda, put it on the sting/bite and bandage over it to hold it there for at least an hour. 2) If you are where you can find some plantain herb (yep, the lawn weed), chew it up, put on the bite, again bandage it in place.
This is what happens if you don't bring Frank with you on a van trip.
Enjoy the podcast with Eamon and Beck. I'm sure you all will have a blast. I'm so sorry you got a ticket. You have a good attitude and are an example for everyone.
Welcome! You crossed the border into Canada about 30 minutes from where I live 😀
I've been looking forward to this episode.
Detroit girl thru and thru and I love my hometown and state!!
Hope you have a wonderful trip have a nice weekend God bless you all 💓
Happy to see you guys in my hometown Chicago ❤️
I know the L in Philly is because its the elevated train so imagine that Trent was correct on that👍🏻This has been a really fun video! Like watching you guys in the old days❤️❤️
That was harassment because of your van and out of state tags, BS! So great to see you in Vermont with Kaylee and Jordan building their tiny house,Rockin!!!!!
Not
20:39 😮Painful!! I worked construction for Facebook, 3 buildings, 640,000 sq ft each and the highest medical treatment needs were....yep! Bee stings!! My boss picked up his can drink and BAM!! 🐝 Right on his upper lip! Stayed swollen for 3 days!! So sorry you're having to deal with this 😔
Chicago had problems with speeding in construction zones workers and state policemen got hit by speeding cars. Love your channel.
It’s absolutely fantastic watching you go on your travels Have an awesome time xxxx
There is so much to see and do in Chicago- I hope you are able to go back sometime- the Natural History Museum, the Aquarium, Lake Michigan & the beach would’ve been great fun for Leo! We used to live in SW Michigan and we’d go to Chicago for fun - our kids lived the Natural History Museum with the dinosaurs.
Thanks for taking us along !
A Gram from MO😘
Having out of state license plates and speeding are two of the things illinois does a lot of. I live in illinois just off of I80 hear a lot of stops. Love your channell have fun on your trip. stay safe
Lot's of people would have taken this opportunity to bash the police. Thank you for not doing that. There are good police officers and bad ones. The good ones always take the heat for the bad and I am glad you just told told us what happened without judgement. Hope your trip was fun!!!!
Illinois takes speeding in constrution area very serious.
Fun times in Chicago, great seeing the bean, Leo chilling on the steps and little Billy checking out the town. That deep dish looked delicious. Omg your hand! Ouch. Hope it gets better soon. Oh what great fun in the science museum. Oh Wow, love your friends gym, awesome to meet up and hang out for a while. Loving the road trip. Great vlog. :)
This happened to me when I was pulled over for speeding in Iowa. I thought it was creepy.
Cool your in my state, I’m about 30 miles out of Detroit, have fun, safe travels! Love your family😄
Good morning 🙏 👍😎♥️
I loved crossing over to Windsor and looking back at Detroit. We went in August. We also visited the Ford Museum. My husband’s home is in Toledo but lives now in Mississippi with me. Enjoy your trip. Safe travels.
I was married to a State Trooper and this is a normal situation, each State is different. But driving through a construction zone above the speed limit is another story. He was trying to give you maybe advice about being more observant in a construction zone which is a dangerous job for employee's that work on those highways and want to go home safely after their work is done??? Awareness of sign's is very important now right? So sorry you had that happen and an expensive experience for sure.
