Wyatt is not allowed to be talking and walking like a full blown toddler. No sir, you stay a baby a little while longer. ❤

I love watching how great you two work together on everything! My husband and I are so similar in how we divvy up chores and get things done. Y’all have a nice grove together that shows what a good relationship looks like. Raising such an amazing young man!! All of these experiences will be very precious memories for all of you!! ❤❤❤

You guys be safe out there!
Quick packing tip: I started rolling my clothes, instead of folding, and can fit almost twice as much in the same space. Have a great trip!

We just returned from Baja California del Sur on Sunday after a two week stay. Very fortunate, that the weather was extremely favorable... highs in low 80's and lows in upper 60's... ☀😎 I agree with one of the other comments... ⚠ CUIDADO! BAJA IN THE SUMMER IS MUY MUY CALIENTE 🔥! 😓

Wow you really did have the PERFECT weather! It was 100 here today so it’s definitely getting steamy haha! I hope you had a great two weeks here and very seamless travels!
ANOTHER great vid! Always enjoy, but really liked yall sharing prepping for the trip with Wyatt. Just found out our daughter/sin-in-law are expecting, so seeing these moments get me excited for their journey with a little one! 👏🏻❤️

We're in Baja now. The Sea of Cortez side is sizzling but it has been nice on the Pacific side. We saw 102 in Mulege! Enjoy.

@@MathersOnTheMap You’re Welcome!
Are you installing the new Victron 50 AMP DC to DC charger? In terms of the heat, you should be OK on the Pacific side of Baja Sur till late July. Anything on the Sea of Cortez will mean your AC is working hard and you will have battery challenges. The good news is the east side doesn’t have many campers or snow birds filling up campgrounds with electrical charging capability. As a result the more established & expensive campgrounds will have spaces with power for your AC.

Yep we added it to our setup which is now fantastic and gives us the confidence needed to run AC at night! Hoping to boondock our entire way up but we’ll see!!! Haha
Great family! Great style! Great adventures! Keep up the excellent videos!!

Taylor reminds me of my wife amy. She is like work work work. You can meet her in our vlogs but she can be shy. She makes an appearance in out philly cheesesteak battle. She is non stop. Great preparation guys. I fight the urge to overpack when I was younger. I was much more streamlined but now for some reason, maybe getting older I always have the need to pack too much.😎 so usually I’ll pack three times and thin it out

Thanks so much!! I definitely feel like I’m non-stop, especially when gearing up for a trip! Laying everything out while packing has helped me sooo much because then by the time I’m packing it I can usually get rid of a few things 👍🏼 But yolo, if you overpack it’s really no big deal. Sometimes it’s nice to have options! 😊😊
We are at 31 C today and it is hot in NB . Heat wave so stay safe down there . Enjoy

Hi, I like to layout my things before packing with a target of removing 25-50% of my gear before packing 🤪. When I first did this I told myself I could always buy something if needed. Strangely enough I have never had to buy anything I left behind 🤓🤓🤓.

Right!! Yes, I lay everything out ahead of time and then always put stuff back when I’m actually packing! Works like a charm! For Wyatt I def bring a little extra tho!

@@MathersOnTheMap hi, yes, for me I always packed for ‘just in case I need it’ until I did this. Also, as with most things in life it’s always easier to ‘edit’ something than ‘create’ it.

Brake line seized while driving and brakes went spongey so I replaced the lines then sold it. Can’t afford to have that happen again with the little man in the car
