In my area you can stay in your EKKO @ Doheny State Beach in Dana Point Harbor , Orange County , CA . Not far from. San Diego County . It’s a beautiful campground, relaxing , the ocean is clear and blue , gorgeous sunsets and so close to other coastal attractions
The starting price for the Winnebago Ekko is $163,622. That's not cheap, and it's nearly $60,000 more than Winnebago's Class B Solis. However, it's more than $20,000 less expensive than the Mercedes Sprinter 4x4-based Revel. 😊 😊 👍
@@TracyJ4418 loving the sound of that. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you got to enjoysimpkins parlor that is our favorite place
Gotta make a list for the manufacturer for all bad workmanship parts. Replace please! They are probably hoping since you are so far from them you won’t bother them. Wrong! 😛 This RV adventure might turn into a mini-series LOL. “Learn to RV with the funniest couple, Tanya and Dave”. If they say you have to bring it in for repair put it on a cargo plane Haha! The land mid-country is so beautiful, and so vast! Seems we live all around the edges of this big country. Looking forward to fun times with you!
This was good. I'm a Trucker. Driving 10 hrs a day is business as usual. I loved this!! Podcast are a Godsend!! 😎🎯✌🏿❤
Thank you very much. We appreciate that!
I found myself crying as I saw Kearney, Nebraska & Sterling Colorado....my old home town areas. It has been over 25 years ago that we moved to Fort Worth, TX from Kearney and I LOVE it here. But now that my hubby is bedbound we cannot visit NE anymore. I started watching you all as my 45th class reunion in Roosevelt, UT is next August. My BFF's (that I have known since 14 yrs old) and I plan on driving to Las Vegas from Salt Lake after the reunion for a week of Las Vegas fun. So I am the geek that researches all of the hotels and places to eat so I can get an schedule for us done. (we also have family and friends that live in Vegas- so we plan on having an awesome time.) Thank you for sharing your trip.... it brought back so awesome memories
So sorry to hear about your hubby. So glad to hear you and your BFF are planning a trip to Las Vegas. Thank you for sharing this Deb. We appreciate it. Stay positive and have an incredible trip to Vegas.
I love the way your hubby looks at you.. the pure joy and love shines thru.. congrats u 2
Welcome home to you both! I'm happy you enjoyed your first long road trip to bring your newest family member back home with you.
As you noticed something will always go wrong, even in brand new RVs. Something will break, get stuck or simply fail and you will absolutely have to learn to do maintenance when something happens while you are on the road. The more you learn, the less likely you will be to have to cut your trip short to get your Ekko serviced. You both seem to be eager to learn and up for the task though which is great. It was great to see that you both took it all in stride which is awesome. How we handle the rough spots with our partner can make all the difference in the world. You two seem like a great team which is half the battle right there. I've seen road trips and tight quarters break couples who didn't know how to communicate which is a sad thing.
I hope you don't mind my offering bits of advice now and then to you both. I was happy to see your reply to my last comment in your first Ekko video.
Another piece of advice for you: I recommend picking up a pair of work gloves that you won't mind getting wet and dirty for those outside jobs you'll encounter that you don't want to touch if you have a choice in the matter. You have a cassette so you won't have to deal with a black water tank but the gray water can still be nasty and messy at times so you will treasure having those gloves around.
My second recommendation is to grab yourself some quick dissolve toilet paper (you may already be using it if the dealer supplied you with any). I noticed you mentioned being unsure if your TP dumped from your cassette or not. If you use the quick dissolve paper that's meant for RV tanks it will dissolve in the cassette and you won't have to worry about TP being the cause of any clogging. It's a bit more pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I'm sure they also told you at the dealership that there are cleaning mixtures for your cassettes as well to keep them from getting too nasty.
My last suggestion, I noticed that Dave did the driving on your road trip. You probably already have plans to do this but just to be sure I'll mention it anyway. One of the best decisions we ever made was to make sure that each of us could handle our RV independently just in case. I remember during one trip coming down with the worst case of food poisoning after risking dinner at a dive diner and being in no shape to be in the driver's seat as we moved on. 😂😭 While I love to be the pilot 90% of the time on that particular trip it was a blessing to be able to turn over the reins and keep moving.
Sorry for the novel length comment. I know I can be long-winded but I hope you find it helpful. I look forward to following your travels.
First I have to say we truly appreciate your comment. Read it like 4 times as it was packed with heartfelt and appreciative information. The toilet paper we used was a dissolving toilet paper. You are right it’s a bit more expensive but we certainly feel it is well worth it.
We do share the driving! Dave drives a bit more so I can capture the footage I need.
So glad you came across our channel. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe and join us on the journey! 🥳🍾👍
Absolutely Epic!!! This was the best travel log I have ever seen! Truly you will win an Oscar with youtube! The music was absolutely fantastic and my beats sounded fantastic! You guys are the best of the best!!!!!!
Thank you very much! We appreciate that.Thank you for sharing this comment. Which song in the video was yours?
Are you their niece trying to get their inheritance?Jk. It is a great adventure, I thought they were taking too much on attempting this distance without a few dry runs. Then I saw they just picked it up from the factory. They were in good spirits throughout, and exhausted. Most of the RVers I watch, try to only drive 2 to 4 hours a day.
FYI you probably know by now that disposable gloves come in real handy for handling the poopy thing, and always know the height of your rig! Have fun and hope to see you OTR.
What a nice maiden adventure, I'm sure y'all are going to love RV'ing for many years to come, I never regretted buying ours and having all those adventures when the kids were growing up.
This is my home Palisade we have the best peaches 🍑 in the world ! You stayed the night across the street from the high school so cool to click on a video and see home !! Awesome guys
Yes, right across from the High School! The peaches were great as well! We’re glad you enjoyed the video!
Absolutely speechless… such a great video! My sister lives in Colorado Springs and before COVID, I would visit her every summer. Your video reminded me how beautiful it is in that part of the country…. Thank you again. You both are such beautiful souls …. Inside and out…
If you're ever in Colorado again and you have some time to sight see, you should check out the Royal Gorge bridge, the highest suspension bridge in the US, Bishops castle, which is a castle that's been built by one man with boulders he hauled out of the Rocky Mountains. There's also Garden of the Gods and Rocky Mountain National Park. Both of which have some absolutely BEAUTIFUL hiking trails if you're into that sort of thing. 4 corners is also pretty cool. It's the only place in the US where you can be in 4 states at once. There isn't much there other than a little monument but it's kind of a cool story to tell people you were in 4 states at once. Lol. I lived out there back in 95 and I LOVED it. Colorado is SUCH a beautiful state... In my opinion, one of the MOST beautiful states in the US... You could really make a whole adventure out of just driving around Colorado tbh...
I always watch tiny home and RV homes. You piped up. And Oh Boy I just loved your adventures and how much fun you both were having and such love you have for each other. Thank you for making me smile and made me laugh. Love you Guys💞❤
Hopefully you guys will link up with Where’s Tiffany some day. Congrats on your new endeavor😀😀😀!!
Go to lake havasu city az to go camping ground at koa & turn it up world
What a wonderful first adventure. I loved traveling along with you. Reminded me of many road trips I’ve been on across the Midwest to the West. You two are so much fun!
This video is amazing… we love the RV life journey…. The scenery was gorgeous!!!
Empty the toilet suitcase first. Then use the gray water to flush out and clean the toilet cassettes.
So JEALOUSY OF YOU GUYS.........STAY SAFE........and HAVE FUN!!!
Ah! That's the life. Digging the Sinatra as you rolled home. Loved seeing everything in between, too.
I cant wait to have a relationship like that. Love you guys!!!!!
🎯✌🏿❤
We lived in our RV for 2 years. We loved it. We found getting a portable radiator heater was better than running the propane heater. Just a tip.
Thank you! 🙏
I had to watch this twice. First, great job on this video. Love the music. Second, it really warms my heart to see how happy you two are with your new RV. You make such a good couple, so compatible and supportive of each other. Third! Can I ask how you got that aerial view of you standing on that little mountain looking at that beautiful view? Seemed like a drone shot but you were out in the middle of nowhere? Just curious because it needs to be copy-clipped out as a still picture so you can frame it. What a beautiful, serene picture of you two looking in wonderment at a tiny fraction of this vast country of ours. You could make a coffee table book filled with all the great shots I can see you getting in the next few years of taking an RV trip to "wherever". It would make a terrific book, because 90% of people will never get to travel and see just how beautiful our country is. You could publish it. I love coffee table books (if people do that any more?)
First, we want to say thank you for the wonderful and heartfelt comment. We do greatly appreciate it. It was a drone for those shots and we'll definitely be putting a book together of these moment. I remember when we had our Alaska trip and I put together a fun filled book of the entire trip and gave them away at Christmas time to family. Thank you again for your lovely comment and we so many RV adventures coming up. Hope you stick around and continue to share your thoughts. We do greatly appreciate it.
I was going to give you some advice about the black water tank and then I remembered that the EKKO doesn’t have one. We bought our Travato just two weeks before lockdown and didn’t take it anywhere until we were vaccinated a year later. So we only dumped our black/gray tanks twice last year. We’re still pretty much newbies, too.
Put a 10 hour driving day? Life‘s too short for that. We take our time. 4 to 5 hours is our absolute max. But we’re also considerably older…
Wow! You were right in my area. I live in Grand Junction and you went right by us. Wish we could of grabbed wine with you and shared your adventure. Maybe on your next adventure.
Being retired, my idea of vacation is staying in a nice hotel. I am thoroughly enjoying watching your travels in your new RV. Thanks for sharing! I'm in Las Vegas now and hoping to run into you while I'm here! 💓
Hey 👋 Kathy! Thanks for watching! We really appreciate that. Sorry we missed you in Vegas. Hope you had a fantastic trip! 🥳❤️
I found the advertisement for your channel and your ekko. Love that RV. And dream of the day I get 1.
Watching your first adventure. I am looking forward to your future adventures.
1 tip that we use in our RV is no toilet paper in your tank get a small trash can for the paper. Never have to worry about getting clogged up.
If you ever get to Florida I will be excited to see you both.
Congratulations!!!🎉🎈🍾🎊.
Thanks so much Angela, we really appreciate it!
Great vlog. Your new addition is smaller and newer than what I had. We had a 22ft Winnebago. Bigger holding tanks. Make sure you use RV or a thinner 2-ply TP so you don’t have clogging issues. Always dump your black water first then your gray water. Then rinse your slinky out with the water by the dump station. Just giving RV advice. Nothing like hearing rain on the roof of a motor home. I would sleep like a baby.
Melissa, thanks for the advice, we appreciate all the helpful tips from more experienced RVers! And, yes, the rain on the RV at night is very calming!
They have a cassette toilet.
I love your travel log ~ most people just talk about themselves ~ and keep this camera on themselves ~ you guys actually show one another ~ the RV ~ the land as you drive and I love your Chemistry ~ I have a question though ~ do the beds connect ~ if you wanted to sleep together
Thanks so much Therese! We really appreciate your kind words. We always try to bring you into our experiences! The beds can connect but it does change the flow of the bed area. We may show that setup in a future video, stay tuned!
WOW SIMPLY INCREDIBLE, LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE AND I LOVE IT.♥️
That's awesome. In the grand scheme of things your maiden voyage went very well. Our maiden voyage was delayed by 13 days as we had an oil leak! Our Navion built on the same platform and engine never gave us one ounce of problems after maiden voyage. After touring the country for ten years, we move on to a fifth wheel that we spend our Summer's in, parked in the Woodstock area if the Catskills mtns of NY. To this day we regret stepping up. That unit is so versatile, incredible. Good luck with it.
Bravo! Take a bow! That was a very entertaining video. Brings back many memories of past epic road trips with my family. Thank you, Tanya and Dave! 👍
Welcome home Tanya & Dave! You’re already a big part of Las Vegas, so happy you can finally call Vegas ur Home❣️🤗
Tanya and Dave what a beautiful sights to see on this road trip. I'm with you drinking coffee every chance you get☺️. Thanks for taking us along looking forward to more adventures in the RV💜💜
Thank you Tracey! We really appreciate all your support and are looking forward to sharing our adventures with you!
This was a great and beautiful vlog. The sights were just amazing! This country's scenic views are second to none! Loved it.😍 Congratulations on your new purchase.
I’m so glad you got to experience “Nebraska Nice”. We pride ourselves on it here! I wish we would have known you were coming through, we would have met you at Casey’s and bought you some awesome midwestern breakfast pizza!
Thanks so much Seth! We saw people getting pizza at Casey’s in the morning! We had no idea it was breakfast pizza!
Fantastic! Felt like I was there too. Love the energy between you and the energy you bring!
Love your new RV! We enjoyed watching your first RV adventure. Looking forward to seeing more adventures. I loved seeing and hearing the trains.Growing up we rode lot of passenger trains because my grandfather worked for Railroad. 😊 Loved seeing all the small towns you visited too. Those mountains so beautiful! 😊❤️👍
TIUW Congratulations!! Great Travel Adventures.
Thank you Aaron! We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you!
A box of latex gloves for all things dudu.
I was on the edge of my Love Seat with you two on this Beautiful new adventure. I follow you both on your every video. I couldn't wait for the next second of your adventure. Las Vegas, Here you come. Thank you for so much fun as always.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed my home state of Colorado. Reminds me of my many road trips to Vegas.
Congratulations guys enjoy your rv also you need to buy some gloves for the hose to the black tank.
Just a hint with the stinky slinky, make sure it is in the hole of the dump, whether gray or black. That way if you make a mistake and pull the wrong lever you won’t get covered.
You are so easy to watch and have such a great chemistry. God’s blessings on your many travels.
Thanks Kelly for the tip. We appreciate it and definitely don’t want to get covered We are looking forward to sharing more of our RV adventures with you!
Love seeing my home state of Nebraska through someone else's eyes and we do have the nicest people!!!
get you some gloves that are just for that. Especially for winter.
I enjoyed the series of of driving across country to Las Vegas. You too are a brave because I know I wouldn’t of last night even an hour beautiful views great foods.Looking forward to more of this series.Thank You guys
Beautiful scenery! Regarding emptying your tanks. You should definitely be wearing disposable gloves. You also need to add an elbow to the bottom / other end of you stinky slinky. It then sits or can screw into dump site. That way your not getting all your waste all over the dump. Hopefully your next trip will be more relaxing. Taking your time seeing things is the best part of RVing. Also having your own groceries and coffee means never having subpar coffee. Love always meeting new people.
Love this! Having done several cross country trips on almost this exact route, I recognize the winery (never stopped to visit it) and other places. Y'all livin' the dream. Want to be you two when I grow up lol
I love getting notifications for this channel!
One thing that you could include is the dining experiences, whether you make the meals yourself or out dining! Inflation has brought interest in the cost of food from State to State,...compare even if you travel into my Country Canada! People like nature, culture and food!
Such an inspiring video. Being able to live your dream and enjoy so much travelling. Seeing the lights of Vegas get closer is one of the best feelings in the world. 9 days until until we go back 🇨🇦
I am speechless! Amazing! This is one of your best videos ever!!!
What an amazing adventure!
Thank you for letting us tag along.
Did you get everything fixed?
Thank you for sharing your first road trip . I so excited to see your next trip ! Enjoy and be safe.
Just "accidently" found your channel today! Love it!! Finally someone who has an Ekko and are actually showing everything!! The cassette toilet dump, gray water dump, everything!!! Love your channel!!! I want an Ekko so bad!!!!
James, thanks so much for joining our crazy EKKO adventures! We are so excited to explore and learn RVing in our EKKO (and share our experiences)! Are you considering placing an order for an EKKO?
Great views. One of my favorite road trips...Florida to Boulder City, Nevada.
Utah is so beautiful. I lived in Boulder City for a year. Now back at home in Florida, can't wait to get back there.
Love the video! Realistic. My favorite part is how the guy explains the wine to you LOL - You didn't need to know about the soil, just the difference of TASTE. Also, you missed the BEST place by Glenwood though - the hot springs! We are planning and saving for an EKKO! Will keep watching.
Thanks for that. We had great time at the Winery and will definitely have to add Glenwood to our places to visit list. .
Oh yah. Block out a few hours (shoot, make it a day!) for Glenwood Springs.
(soaking in the pool after a day of skiing at Sunlight Mountain = bliss.)
Beautiful tour through my homeland. Very classy POV, and the music was spot on. Great video. Congrats on your next chapter.
Share everything with each other. Including the driving, nice views, and singing to your favorite 80's radio tunes.
Absolutely, we agree!
@@TurnItUpWorld YASSS!
How amazing! I'm just thrilled for you guys and can't wait to see all your new adventures! I'm glad you had a safe trip back home.
Blessings and hugs,
Trina
Hey there Trina! Thank you. What an adventure for sure. Looking forward to many more. Big hugs to you and miss seeing ya during the livestreams.
@@TurnItUpWorld I've missed you guys too! I was having phone troubles with my phone which prevented me to interact in livestreams. I hope to be in the next one!
@@ToysRUsKid76 Trina , I missed you too
@@TracyJ4418 awww thanks Trace! I can't wait to be with y'all again!
Very entertaining videos. Learning a lot about RVs.
Just a tip on the windshield, I would coat it will a sealant, specifically a ceramic coating for glass, it will save so much time with cleaning,saves your wipers and water beads right off.
Thanks for the tip! We may have to give a ceramic coating a try!
@@TurnItUpWorld Definitely worth it, I have been detailing yachts for over 20 years and customers love it and sea conditions are the biggest test.
The marine world seems to be the ultimate testing environment for systems that also could work well for RVs!
I love those signs on the road...leaving this state entering that state!!!
First of all, you guys did a great job picking out your rig. That thing is dope. Also, you guys have good chemistry together. Keep pumping out the vides!
Thanks so much Ken! We are super excited about the EKKO and can’t wait to share our adventures with you!
Your heat could be shutting off because the house battery is to low to run the fans, I had to add a few battery's to keep mine running all night.
Deon, thank you for the tip. We actually have a lot of battery power already but we will check all possibilities! Thanks again!
Love this!!! excited for the two of you!!!! Go yall ..... TIUW!!!!!
I’m a city girl snd hate outdoors but watching your journey made me want to rent an RV and travel!! You two are priceless love your experiences!!
Thanks so much Lindles and we are excited to bring you along in our crazy RV adventures! Stay tuned!
I love RV adventure ( and all the caretaking) videos. A great reason to keep watching your channel.
Thanks so much! We are excited to share our RV adventures with you!
Yes, the people of my home State Nebraska are nice. I feel instantly at home when I visit. Recognized the Arch at Kearny, there.
great video - good change from walking around Vegas...
You were talking about dear they sell those little whistles that mount on your bumper the little plastic things the air go through and they make a high pitch keeps dear away only a few( bucks)
Yes, may make sense for us as well! Thanks!
Looks like you had some fun in Colorado! Silt is right upriver from my family's ranch (Rulison) and the winery in Palisade is a few miles from my high school on the eastern edge of Grand Junction. So a few memories y'all brought back, thank you!
A few "destinations" and must-do's for later trips, in and around Glenwood Springs CO:
1) Marble CO - site of the quarry that produced the marble for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in DC. Now a sleepy little town that is -just- shy of 'ghost town' status. There's also jeep tours of Crystal and the surrounding mining areas from Marble. Warning: jeep roads are narrow, steep, and scary, but if you like rollercoasters and other thrill rides, you should be fine.
2) Hanging Lake - a rather steep hike from the canyon floor up to one of the most beautiful lakes ever. Bring water, bring a walkiing stick, bring a camera (drone flights may or may not be allowed, check with Forest Service first).
3) Redstone - former coal mining town along CO-133, now an artist retreat. The Redstone Inn and Redstone Castle are two turn of the century properties that are not to be missed. Park in the Inn's parking lot and stroll through town.
4) Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and Spa - former "medicinal" site used by Ute Indians, now the world's largest outdoor, year round hot springs pool.
5) Carbondale Mountain Fair - held in late summer/early fall, it's a weekend of art, crafts, food, music and camaraderie. Bring out your inner hippie.
6) For bicycle riders, during summer after the spring snowmelt has receded, there is a bike trail that runs the length of Glenwood Canyon. It's actually under/alongside the cantilevered highway, which keeps traffic windblast and noise from affecting the riders. Unfortunately it tends to get flooded when the Colorado River is running high in springtime.
And then of course, you can drive south on CO-82 to Aspen and spend a day. While Independence Pass is an awesome spot to traverse, the road is narrow and windy and steep and I would NOT recommend driving it in an RV. (But I'm biased, I ride a motorcycle!)
For RV camping, there's several locations along CO-133 / Crystal River. The ones administered by the US Forest Service may need reservations well in advance, but are likely much cheaper than the campgrounds run by private individuals. Your Mileage May Vary.
George, thanks so much for your post. Incredibly informative and helpful! We really appreciate it and will definitely plan on checking out some of those places!
Just found your channel -- popped into my feed as I'm researching RVs. CONGRATULATIONS -- LOVE the love and friendship you two share! MANY safe, fun travels together!! ✌🏾❤🥰
Thanks so much Michelle! We really appreciate your comment. Best of luck in your RV search! We are super excited to begin and share our adventures in our EKKO!
The Hiss/kiss cats shirt is super cute. Love it ❤
This was such a fun video to capture your first road trip in your beautiful new addition to the family. I felt like I was hitching a ride...the sights were beautiful and I really felt your deep connection to all aspects of the experience. And your sense of humor alternating with your deep, serene appreciation of nature always makes me happy. 😊
Thanks so much. We really appreciate your kind words and are happy that you are able to join us!
Welcome to the Midwest and a more laid back attitude about life! I’d have done that in about a week but then I’m retired! Stay safe!
Thanks so much Bill! We had a wonderful time in the Midwest! Everyone was super helpful and friendly as well.
Love that RV! The colors, the interior...very chic, just like Tanya! How fun riding along with you guys to Vegas! So excited to see and explore the sites with you guys. Great vlog, great job! 👏
Gorgeous ride! You guys are drinking coffee, quart sized ice teas, cans and bottles drinks, more coffee. You already wore out one of those cassetts!
Thanks, we are loving our new boy! And, yes, we must stay hydrated and … caffeinated!
Omg. What a neat video... thought I was on the venture with you both. You need to get some warm blankets, scarves, hand /foot warmer sand gloves. What cool places you stopped...good ole little towns!! Thx for sharing 😊
You two are a breath of fresh air!!!👠🚌👠
Thank you!
I am not sure if it is available yet but the Dprinter may have a 34 gallon auxiliary tak so you have 65 gallons. It goes in the spare tire space and pumps 5 gallons per rime.
You two are breaths of fresh air. So informative and helpful. Thank you for having the energy and sharing knowledge. I am so grateful. Love love to you all on the road. Be safe, may he always guide you. XOO
Thanks so much! We really appreciate you support and are glad you are enjoying our adventures!
I loved this video blog of your first trip!!! I laughed my head off at the train - I live next door to train tracks and I honestly do not hear them anymore. One year we camped in PA at Hershey park KOA. We were the only ones who got a good night's sleep, as there are train tracks very close to the campground...........LOL. My husband and I had plans to travel like this when we retired -sadly he passed away the year before we were to leave. Our goal was to spend 3 seasons here in MA and winters in Nevada. I will travel along with you instead.
I love exploring small towns like this!! OMG!!! I need another road trip!!! ASAP!!! lol
Ok, I couldn't help myself...I started to giggle when you two had your midnight choo choo wake up! 🤭🤭❤️❤️ Looks like your adventures are well under way! I think you have a good rhythm of go go go for a bit, then relaxing. It's all about balance. ⚖️👍
Thanks Lisa, yes, we are enjoying our adventures and can’t wait to share them with you! And, well said, it’s all about balance!
There's friends of my family that have property just down the highway from the winery, and when I used to stay over with them as a teen, the trains rolling by would shake the windows. After about the third night? you don't even notice.
Funny the first thought I had was Robin Williams in RV the movie.😱
“Stinky slinky” 😂

Thank you so much Debbie. Glad you're here and enjoy the videos. We really appreciate that.
Gorgeous scenery. My brother lived 15 miles from Vail for quite a few years. Loved watching your road trip!
I just love watching you guys This is the RV that I want. I’m so hoping I can afford it.
Thanks! We really enjoy the EKKO! Have you been shooing for an RV?
I suspected what you were in for as soon a you discovered the train. My parents did the same thing, accidentally, on a road trip taking us to DisneyWorld in the early 80s. In our case, we got to the rev park after dark and just parked where they told us, backed up against a huge fence. Noooo idea there was a train track right on the other side of the fence. Four trains between 11pm and 6am.
Lol, sounds like a tough night! We had fun despite the roaring trains speeding by! Thanks for sharing!
One of the best videos u guys ever made good job
Aww…Congratulations! Had to laugh when you where rocking & rolling on the 🚂🚂🚂🚂 😂😂 My daughters dorm room in Denver was right next to the train tracks & in the middle of the night literally gave me a heart attack & the train was blowing the horn LOUD 😱😂😂😂😂
Can’t wait for more ventures 😍🤙
Great video! Can’t wait for more. I didn’t know you guys moved to Vegas!
