If you know us at all, you’ve probably heard us talk about this once or twice before. Well friends, the time has finally come. We are about to set out on a new adventure; an adventure of the grandest scale (and no I don’t mean children). This is not one based in the mountains, or on a rock-face in the middle of the desert, or even one in a new city. Our next adventure is that of the sea and there, the world will become our playground…our back yard…our home.
Saturday, July 26, 2014: We’ve Arrived!
Our first night in the RV went very well. Everyone was properly dressed and warm (even Jill’s mom!), but then we had to wake up and it was REALLY cold. Our first morning was by far the coldest morning we had as the temp was hovering in the mid-30’s. Our battery bank was too low to just turn on the heat and the the campground had rules about running generators or starting your car before 8am. So, we had to tough it out, which was easier for some of us than others. Mugs of hot coffee were poured, many items of clothing were put on and a delicious homemade pancake breakfast was prepared. Jilly slept in latest but perked up as soon as the food was finished (I have a hunch she was already awake and just waiting for the opportune time to come down so she wouldn’t have to help – good plan Jilly). We had a very nice and easy breakfast which warmed our bellies and before we knew it we were ready to head out to explore Yellowstone.
For several years, Jill and I have talked about doing an RV trip. Being the avid campers that we are / were, we have always dreamt of AC/heat, unlimited electricity, refrigeration and freezer power, and of course a roof over our heads while out in nature! We were casually chatting about doing a trip ‘somewhere’ like this, if you know Jill and I then you know there is ALWAYS a trip being planned and an adventure to be had. Our conversation was overhead by various family members and in no time the idea was formed. Jill’s ‘non-camping’ parents were immediately onboard for the idea. We have no recollection of who suggested Yellowstone, but this was the destination that was settled upon for said RV adventure. Sure enough, within a few days the parentals booked their flights to Denver, the camping spots were reserved (which has to be done at least 6 months in advance because Yellowstone books quickly) and the adventure was born.
Jake & Jill Adventures is your personal adventure guide to adventures – everywhere! Our mission is to get people outdoors to explore the world in a new and unbelievable way. It’s really that simple.
So if you are sick and tired of those boring old vacations, doing the same things, watching the same TV, eating the same food, and living the same life (with the same people), it might be time for a change! Jake & Jill Adventures thrives on danger and excitement. So whether you dream of cycling the winding roads of Zion, sailing through the Galapagos Islands, trekking through Rocky Mountains, or cruising in an epic RV Trip to Yellowstone National Park, we are here to help you live the dream!
