ABOUT US
Hi, we’re Mike, Sara, Madeline, and Jack—a family of adventurers exploring Kentucky and beyond. What began as day trips during the COVID grind turned into RV weekends and epic road trips to National Parks. We’ve learned how to UNPLUG from stress, IGNITE a passion for exploration, and RECONNECT as a family—all without breaking the bank.
Through Our Campfire Unplugged, we share tips, hidden gems, and ideas to help busy families create meaningful memories. Ready to start your own adventure? Join our email list for itineraries, travel tips, and insider secrets!
