Welcome to "Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!" 🤩
WOW, your sister in law is so talented! It's great to have someone in the family to help with things like that! I'm so glad the two of you had a safe and productive trip! My own momma has been making clothes and wedding dressings for 70 years now. She's 89 and still creating here and there. Your sister in laws room reminds me of. My mom's
How nice to have someone in your family to do such important work! Madisyn is such a beauty! ❤
We just did a road trip to Frankfort, I'll. It's just outside of the city. We have family there as well and our trip one way took about 7 hours. We always have a wonderful time there!❤
Love Travel Video! Wish we had a Chuy’s near us. What an amazing seamstress Denise is, you all are so very fortunate to have personal attention to detail. Can’t wait to see the Wedding pictures/video! Madisyn will be the most beautiful bride. Glad you both made the trip safely. Thanks for bringing us along.
Such a great feeling to get things done before the wedding. Thankful that you were all kept safe on the road trip but also through the storms. We were also in the Chicago area that weekend. Not too far from where you were. We did go home on Monday but my daughter and her husband kept us posted about the tornado warnings that night. The grandkids slept down the basement in our bed until the storms passed.
What a beautiful memory taking a trip with your baby. Love it! Glad you guys made it home safely. 🙌🏼
Oh my goodness i grew up in WV and im originally from there, loved seeing Charleston WV and the State Capitol,,, yall have fun Erika thanku 4 sharing
Someone looks like her daddy 💜

Glad you got to your Sister-in-law’s safely 🌸 Thank you for also taking us on your road trip. I have never been to those states before so it was fun to see when you passed through them🌸 So neat your Sister-in-law could help with the dress and you could spend time with her 🌸Glad you had a safe trip home 🌸
Glad you had a great trip despite the storms! Thanks for sharing!😊
Loved this video. You two freaking out about the 7 lanes of traffic made me laugh. Being from Chicago it’s no big deal to us. Glad it was a successful trip 😊
Glad you made it home safely. It was my honor to do her alterations and make her vision come true.
You definitely helped to give her her dream wedding gown! Can’t wait to see it all together on that day! Won’t be long now!😀❤️👏🏻
Loved the trip & meeting Denise! Glad y’all drove!
Oh my, those purple bags with the pink flowers are gorgeous that your sister-in-law has on her shop. Fun video. Bless your sweet family.
Madison is such a pretty girl. What a fun trip. I really want to go to that fabric warehouse!
You are two brave girls! I like your play list too. Add a little Disney movie music in and it'll be just like my daughter's travel playlist, lol! I'm such a road trip fan! The weather seemed so nice too (well, until you got to Chicago!). I know the weather lover in you even enjoyed the storm. Glad you go to go there and thankful that you made it home safe. Thanks for sharing!!
That's a blessing to get the dress done. How lucky you are to have a homemade dress from a family member... Blrssings
What a pleasant surprise to hear you say you were in Beavercreek Ohio! I live in the area and go to that Goodwill all of the time! 😀

Hey Arika! I live in Ohio. I've traveled to & thru Chicago several times. Chicago is crazy at rush hour. Glad you guys had a great trip 🙂 U guys were so close to where my brother lives in Cambridge Ohio. I've been to West Virginia several times too.
this was very enjoyable to watch :-) thank you for sharing
Love Chuy's Can't wait to see the wedding
Great trip! What a great gift for Madison, both dress work done by her aunt, and a terrific road trip with her mom before her wedding. 2 great blessings!
Hi Arika! So glad you had a safe trip. I live just outside of Beavercreek so I go in that Goodwill often. I would have died if I walked in there and saw you. 😮😮😂. I’ve been going back thru your past videos and saw the Artscape you applied to your kitchen window. It is so pretty. I’m totally going to Home Depot to find some for my kitchen window. Again I’m glad you enjoyed the time you spent in Ohio. I’ve enjoyed catching up on your videos and getting to know you and your family.
I live in WV! Enjoy all your videos! 😊
I grew up in Indiana & I’m still here. So when we travel through states with mountains I love it. I don’t like all the flat land lol❤
So exciting to go along with y’all. Your sister in law is so very talented! Those bags were unbelievable! That is the biggest fabric place I have ever seen. Thankful y’all made it through the storm. Can’t wait to see the wedding❤
Happy for you Arika you got to spend time with your daughter doing something so special for her. The best part is the gorgeous doggies , you are so sweet to them.♥️🙏🩷 Thank you for showing us around, and yes I love love love road trips we got to see new places. God Bless you🌸always.
Bet you are so happy to be home. That traffic would have me really stressing out. But I know it’s so wonderful to see family. And getting her dress perfect is icing on the cake. Glad you made it safe and sound.
Enjoyed your trip. Our son lives In north aurora and has a restaurant in Naperville. We loved portilla's when we visited.
Hi Arika. Im glad you had a safe trip to Chicago and that you got to bring home the wedding dress. Your sister in law is so talented. Can't wait to see the wedding video. Thank you for sharing this special trip with your viewers. It's such an exciting time for your family with wedding planning.
How exciting you were near my hometown! I live 20 minutes from Naperville. I'm glad you had a wonderful time and how blessed your family is to have someone as talented as your sister in law. Thank you for taking us all along on your road trips.
Truly enjoyed the video I love travel vlogs, you went all around my family, my youngest daughter lives next to Charleston West Virginia myself my middle daughter and my son live next to Hurricane WV which you passed on 64 west and the oldest daughter lives in Milford Illinois. I agree with your children when you're on flat land it looks like the sky is going to fall right down on top of you lol but I did enjoy the constant breezes on the flat land. Happy that no one in your family got hurt in the tornadoes and pray for the ones who had problems. Glad you're home safe and sound God bless continue your good work. And congratulations again to Madison
How fun! So much was accomplished for the wedding and that’s a relief and exciting at the same time. (we know you are a weather watcher and how that must have kept you on your toes). The videos keep getting better. You will always be my favorite. ❤
That’s our Chuys! That’s our goodwill! Crazy. I would have probably started crying if I saw you in Chuys or goodwill! You would have thought I was a nut job!! Oh my dear friend ! Next time you are here I’ll give you a personal tour of all the places to go !!!! Looks like there is others from this area in your comments ! That’s wild ! We could have a girl lunch with everyone next time ! Dorsett Doorstep fan club !!!!!! lol. So happy for momma and daughters fun memories !
LOL, that sounds like fun!! I’d love to see some subscribers! I loved your little city!

I enjoyed your trip so much. We used to live in West Virginia, and it was good to see familiar land marks. It looked like a fun trip.
I wish we had storms like that in Northern Ohio. We used to when I was a kid. I remember it raining & storming for days. I guess Illinois stole them from us 😂
