"Try to choose happy over sad today" not only resonated in this video, but with all the videos you create! You truly are a remarkable and compassionate HUMAN, as it was shown in this video toward your husband, Donnie. I'm sorry Donnie and the girls had to cut short on their camping trip with you but somehow you still managed to enjoy the camping trip with your family at this beautiful camp site. What an awesome vlog! Love the camp friendship bracelets! Such a great way to make connection with friends and family you meet along the way on this journey called life. Life touching life for sure! And if i may add, love the overload moments with Aiko, she's adorable and clingy in a good way. Have a blessed week with your loved ones, Mikee!
Micah! Hoping you and your loved ones are safe from everything going on there. Such a heartbreaking tragedy. I got the camp friendship bracelet ideas because I saw a friend posting about getting them at a concert he recently went too and I thought, what a cool way to connect and have some in the van in case we ever meet new people or friends/fam come visit us at a site. So I'll have them fully stocked in the van! Thanks for watching and have a great week!
you make van camping look so fun and aesthetic, I'm usually not an outdoor person but this makes me want to rent a van 🥹 the site looks so peacefully perfect, it's such a shame about the pups! and totally agree, ego & insecurities in relationships does not mesh well, sometimes it takes a second to catch myself before acting standoff-ish too but it helps to have an understanding partner to grow with! PS the drone shots are gorgeous 😍
Omg you should totally look into renting a van! From a lot of the van life channels I watch, Canada seems to have so many amazing places to explore. Hopefully one day we can get the courage to take that road trip! And hey, it's never too late, I didn't get into my outdoorsy era until my 30s 😂
Hello 👋🏾 Mikee! Love the vlog❤! Glad to see you all! ❤my son made it to San Diego, started his duties with the Navy! I enjoy seeing the beauty of your city! Thank you ❤
Hi Mina! Love that he's stationed in SD! You must be very proud of him for serving our country and that's a reflection on you for raising a good human! ❤️
Great video and insight into how Donnie was feeling. you still had a good time with family and friends. you are right, don't force anyone to do what you want. Thanks for the peaceful video
Love when you post videos on Sunday so I can chill and watch them. It got me thinking about how I need to spend more time outside enjoying nature. As a single guy I didn’t give it a second thought that he wanted to go home, that’s one of the benefits of camping close to home, I think! We’re blessed to have such beautiful nature right here in our backyard
Yes, definitely get outdoors, bring your fave foods and drinks and enjoy our city! We certainly pay a premium for our weather lol, so might as well enjoy!
Hi Mikee! Santee Lake is beautiful, how unfortunate that it is not very pet friendly. 😢 I’m sorry that Donnie wasn’t feeling well and hope he got to feeling better. It looks like you were still able to enjoy the weekend with your family! Also, I think that Aiko was a bird in her past life since she likes to perch herself on you 😅😅😅😅. Have a wonderful week…until next time. ❤
Hi Cheryl! She was most definitely a bird or a squirrel 😂 He felt much better the next day and was glad I was able to enjoy time with fam vs worrying about him. Cheers to a great week ahead!
You have done a great job with your Van set up! The site was really nice that you got to stay in. Honestly if your spouse is feeling crappy, it's just going to bring everyone else's good vibes down and then your trip becomes a bad experience and memory. It was good that he drove so he was able to go back home with the girlies and get the rest he needed. That is really unfortunate about all the dog rules... 😑
Yes! We didn't need this negative energy and negative energy doesn't always have to be sinister or come from a place of trying to be negative. TBH, if he stayed we both would have probably came home emotionally drained and instead, we reunited back home both feelings great ❤️
Thanks sweetliz! I had heard about people giving away bracelets at Taylor Swifts concert lol so I got the idea from that! Always going to have a stash of bracelets in the van!
Hi Mikee playing catch up with your vlogs!! Love them!! Hope Donny is feeling better Aiko🐶🥰 Hero 🐶🥰 I just love your fam. Yes your UA-cam fam loves you!! Till next time ✌🏼✌🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I did ask the ranger and he said that they don't want owners leaving their dogs unattended which is totally understandable. But maybe that should be the rule. At the end of the day, ended up being my fault as I looked at the Pet FAQ on their site when I got home and it did list no pet fence. I just never ran into that in any other campgrounds but at least now I know to check for it.
That looked like a nice place to camp. Sorry Donny didn't feel well enough to stay. That is crazy that you couldn't have the gate for the dogs. Why don't they just say no pets as they have so many restrictions'. My brother used to live in Santee. Is that where you said you were? Glad you enjoyed your mini vacation.
Hey Cathy! Yes, Santee area. Yea I was pretty bummed about the pet fence. We've camped in a lot of places before the van and not once were there any rules out pet fencing. I find it actually safer because even though campgrounds enforce leashes, not everyone follows that and I've seen one too many dog fights, so for the little ones, a fence is a must. Hope you had a great weekend!
That looks so pretty amd relaxing i love canping and i agree if your partner aint feeling good let him go home its ok its not the end of the world and if they stay and get sick then i have to care for him 🤣 nope go home feel better i still love you 🤣🤣🤣 i hope donny is ok ❤
Hi Martha, you got me cracking up over here - go home and don't get me sick 😂😂😂 - thanks he felt much better the next day. I think it was the heat and having had worked overtime a couple nights before 😭

I’m looking to buy a revel .. love your content ☺️❤️
Nice! Need to block out some time for more trips on our rig! Hopefully soon!
Did they give you a reason pet fences were not allowed? Camping can be hard with dogs. Looks like a nice area. 💖
I can see no dogs on the deck though.
