I know you already know this but I have to say that Sadie has to be the cutest kid I have ever seen. She is so full of joy plus she is so smart and I know that’s because she has such great parents. I am just loving this trip of yours. Thanks so much!
My grandbaby is 19, at around 14 he told me he didn't believe. We never watched polar express together again. We go to marvel movies and he helps me out alot, but I remember his face, at Sadie's age,and his sweet smile. Enjoy her every moment because its gone very fast. ❤❤❤
Also the way she let go straight away no fear, what great memories Sadie is going to have when she’s a woman and having video’s of some of them will be priceless ❤🫶🏻👍🏼🤟🏼🙏🫶🏻❤👨👩👧❤
Awww the couple finding the coffee were soooo joyful, then they put the brakes on it thinking it might just be the box, and then unleashed their happiness fully. Sooo fun.
Honestly, I cry every time someone finds the bag of coffee. They're so genuinely excited! It just brings back my faith in humans doing something wonderful and giving. ...not just the gift of this expensive delicacy of a rare bag of coffee; but, the adventure to a really great scavenger hunt. I think it reminds me of when I was a kid. My friends and I playing D&D on Bass Rocks and at the end of The Neck in Gloucester and Rockport. We had EPIC adventures pretending to slay dragons. We would collect rocks, shells, sea glass, seaweed---all having magic powers. Love what you are doing!
The caboose was the train conductor's office. The crew used the caboose as a home out on the road. The brakeman was also stationed in the caboose. The conductor rode in the big chair up in the cupola to watch the train. He also operated the air valve that operated a whistle when the train ran in reverse. He signaled at every crossing with the whistle. They had a caboose coal stove, a small pot bellied stove that sit in a corner to keep them warm. Also a toilet and sometimes a sink. All the conveniences of home.
Glad you got yourself a jacket Jordan because by the time you make it to some parts of the south we will likely have some cold weather down here too. However, we likely will not have snow. Stay safe on your journey. It seems Sadie has turned out to be the little family STAR. I love to watch her growth and see her daily learning and adventurous experiences. Love you all so much.
We had an RV that continually leaked until we read the best way to prevent water from leaking out, pour a little white vinegar in the bowl. When we did that the water didn’t drain out and the horrible smell stopped. …. Love watching Sadie 💖
It's so interesting to watch Sadie's little personality she is beautiful! It is so nice because she is spending so much quality time with you both on this adventure of a lifetime❤😊 I love watching your show!
The train car is called a Caboose and was typically the last car of a freight train. It was not designed for passengers, it was designed for train conductors who used those elevated seats to monitor the train's freight cars from the rear.
in case my last post got lost! DURANGO & SILVERTON NARROW GAUGE in Durango, CO! if you love trains it’s SO SO SO worth going! close to the 4-corners, one of the last steam trains still running, beautiful views to an old mining town, amazing restaurants: The Himalayan & Carvers. Enjoy! So fun watching Sadie! 💗
More than likely that was a caboose. Those high platforms were some of the bunks for the crew on long trips. I rode in a caboose back in 1963 when I was 7 years old, through part of Pendleton, Oregon. I have always loved trains!
Sadie’s joy at life is so contagious. What a blessing. Are you able to share where you stayed in the caboose? My husband is recovering from emergency open heart surgery. Our travels have been dampened for a while but he’s anxious for an adventure. We live in Oregon and I think he would love a night in a caboose. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your joy.
Jordan, just want to let you know, we have been campers for over thirty years and every camper you get breaks, we just have learned to fix asap so things don't add up. It is not just airstream. Lol!
Not only is this a fun trip to watch, but Sadie is so smart. She’s so alert to everything, she has good genes and great parents she’s a lucky girl for sure. Sadie has the travel blood in her genes as well. So cool. And I totally understand the travel blood because my parents traveled with us all across country many times and into Canada and Mexico. So I get it. Thanks for sharing. ❤
My grandfather worked on the railroads for many years. I can assure you that the Caboose (that you slept in) was for the employees that worked for the railroad company. And, it was NOT that nice! Lolol It was a place for the exhausted workers to sleep, while the conductors kept driving through the night. But, how DELIGHTFUL to see Sadie fall in love with trains. I STILL have my grandpa's railroad lantern from 1915, and I will love trains until the day I leave this planet. Love you guys!
The caboose and Sadies' reactions are ❤! A caboose like this one would have been used in freight train service. It is where the conductor and rear brakeman would have ridden. The seats up top were where they would ride to keep an eye out for anything that could go wrong while moving down the tracks. The black valve (usually painted red) is an emergency brake valve that they could use to stop the train. The crew on the locomotive would consist of the head brakeman, possibly a fireman and the engineer. The "head brakeman" simply meant his placement on the train, i.e., the head end. Trains are referred to as the head end and the rear end, not front and back. The fireman was the one who shoveled coal into the firebox on steam locomotives. That position disappeared with the change to diesel-electric powered locomotives. The engineer is the crew member that "runs the train" ie drives the train. The conductor is in charge of the paperwork for the contents on the train. He also oversees the brakemen in their duties. I hope you find this interesting and can share it with Sadie. Save travels😊🤗
When you put the airstream back in storage coat the toilet ring with Vaseline to keep it from drying out and sticking to the toilet. Save you from having to replace it again
Sadie swinging on the bar above the bed and dropping down is the cutest thing. She is so adorable ! Making memories with her she will never forget. Safe travels and looking forward to the next video.
Jordan turn the water off put on a disposable glove rub Vaseline on the seal top and bottom and it won't leak anymore. Beats having to replace the seal. Works every time
Just imagine having a few of the train couches on Lola's Farm. Hire them out as B&B (Air). I sure love the layout. And view room does it all. Magic. Regards 🇿🇦.
I hate to bust your bubble, but that isn't a first-class sleeper car. It is a caboose, where the conductor and signalman would stay. The comfortable seats up high are where they would sit when the train was moving to maximize visibility. Passengers were NOT allowed in the caboose. However most cabooses were attached to freight trains, rather than passenger trains. Cabooses were phased out over twenty years ago, when automation took over the railroads.
Not sure that Sadie will actually remember any of this eventually - it is unusual to remember much detail about things that happen at this age. However, you have all this video to show her that may actually jog her memory. Plus, she is learning and experiencing stuff that will shape her life, even if she doesn't realize it later. What a wonderful foundation for a human being to have. You are great parents and someday when your life journey is done, that will be your most enduring legacy.
I've been a MM coffee subscriber for about 2 years now and I am super happy that you started selling dark roast. It's my fave. And the Harvest is the BEST!! I look forward to my morning coffee everyday. Thanks for all that you do♥
Yes, Kaylee you are absolutely right. When you are whitnessing your child see or experience something for the first time, it is absolutely magical. Hugs & love & be safe! 💞♥️
Hello Jordan, kaylee and sadie that train sleepover cart looks amazing seeing sadie get to see all these beautiful and exciting places the look on her face is priceless love the adventures feel like I'm right there to
I love you y’all soooooo much!!!! And have been following for many years.. well since the start. I’m not tech savvy and just recently learned how to comment on videos. You are making so many people happy!!!! I can not wait until y’all get to Texas! ( Tejas ) I hope it’s in north Texas! It’s a huge state, but, my small community would LOVE it so much if you put it up by the Red River. I would call in sick! Just joking , I wouldn’t do that at all! I am a retired 911 dispatcher, of 30 yrs between State and County. I sit with a 83 yr old lady with Alzheimer’s Disease. I lost both my mother AND her mother to this horrible, horrible slow death. I now work with private patients that need someone that understands and can love them unconditionally . Even if I hear the same story 20 times a day. I’m not exaggerating, but I don’t care. She is the sweetest lady ever! She would love a little adventure to look for this wonderful coffee. And I would love to share this with my neighbors! Mostly Mexicans. But they would appreciate it so much! Be safe. Sadie is the cutest EVER! And I’m glad that she got to sleep in the train. Y’all make me so happy, you have no idea! Your love and compassion for people is undeniable. Much love ❤️ , Crista
It would be impossible for her to be any cuter!!! I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see you guys everyday … you’d joy is palpable !!! Wish these 10 minute blogs went on for longer than 48 days!…😊
This train car is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. So sorry your Airstream is giving you so many problems. You’d think they would see your videos and then give you immediate assistance.
My daughters are now 23 and 25 and still, every Christmas Eve we watch Polar Express from day one. It is one of our Christmas traditions. We love it. The girls even imitate the homeless guy on top of the train. 😃😃💕💕💕
The Columbia River is 5 minutes away from where we live. Yes, Oregon is a beautiful state and I am glad that you have enjoyed it. I was raised in Iowa and moved here in 1965. This is Gods country. The high today will be in the 50’s but I love it. 75 years old and loving Oregon. I’m glad you enjoyed the caboose camping. Trains no longer have a caboose. The Christmas tree farm must have been a real treat to see how they are grown and where they come from. Your daughter looks as she is having a great time. I remember traveling to different states when I was young. I can’t imagine seeing all 48 states at her age. Lucky kid. The homeless camps are terrible around Portland. What will fix this I don’t know? Can you imagine how this problem affects our crime rate? Enjoy the rest of your trip!
It's insane how smart that precious kid of yours is .. love that you found such an amazing place to watch Polar Bear Express in .. as much as everyone will tell you how fast time flies .. IT REALLY DOES .. I am so glad that you both enjoy living in the moment with her as in the blink of an eye she is all growed up xo and can't wait for the next adventure 💓💙💜
Any camper is a great time, until something breaks, leaks, or misfunctions. Even the best of class A's have problems. It becomes part of the expected, part of the adventure!! Leave some wiggle room in your schedule and for the most part, you'll be fine.
So sweet! Sadie's at the cutest age! Never forget it! It doesn't last forever but it's all good all along the way. Always stay positive, find the silver lining. It's always there! Much love from Utah!
I feel like a winner because I just ordered Honey Harvest. Love you guys so much. Thanks for just being who you are, amazing and fun. ❤ As a Mom I know exactly what you mean Kaylee, savor every moment.
I love trains too. Lucky Sadie to have great parents, who let her day dream about trains and see them from the window and even let her sleep in a caboose with them. Good job guys and gals
Watching your baby girl brings such a huge smile to my face. This trip, she will never forget. Y'all are killing it!! Stay safe and see you in the next one!!!!!
4:00 I’m literally drinking Honey Harvest while you’re talking about Honey Harvest. 🙌🏻✨😂❤️ Kaylee, kids 100% make the holidays more magical!! Our daughter is 9 now, and I’m missing her small watching Sadie, she’s so sweet! 🥰❤️
That unit you asked, What is this, is a back up or reverse valve. It usually had a small whistle on it to blow when they came to a crossing backing up. The valve would have been used to stop the train from the caboose in case of an emergency.
I love watching people finding the coffee, but watching lil Saddie enjoying life, just brightens my days. Thumbs up and love from S. California. You'll be the closest to me, real soon.
That Christmas magic comes with grandchildren also. I started shopping for kids and grandkids back in May and I am done! LOVE all the Christmas trees around the train. Super special! Sadie is just a joy.
Omg, I usually have my shopping done by August, I don't like shopping, so it's good no crowds to deal with. If you are like me, January is when I start thinking about it,lol It's great with your kids, but even better with the grandkids! Merry Christmas!
Arhhh guys you have to build Sadie her very own choochoo train bed and hang a swing in her room once you start building your home, shes just adorable🥰 xxx
Same thing happened to my family with our airstream we got a few years back, after a month things started falling apart and was so expensive to keep fixing we had to sell it. Sold it for more than the original price but still didnt break even, i would highly suggest getting rid of it before you lose the investment!
Oh my gosh I started tearing up when you were talking about watching the Polar Express! That is my all time favorite Christmas movie!🎄 My son was crazy about trains when he was young (so crazy about trains that one time we were stuck at a railroad crossing and while I was aggravated we did not get across in time, he gleefully said from the car seat "mom we are so lucky!"🥺❤) So when that movie came out, it became our favorite Christmas movie! "The bell still rings for all who truly believe."❤❤❤
That Sadie! You will just continue to see more and more joy through the eyes of your little sweetheart. She is going to grow up to be so well rounded and grounded. Enjoy every second! Also, the bliss on the faces of all the winners is..priceless! You two are amazing!❤️😍😎
This is so incredibly sweet. I can't think of a better time or age for Sadie to experience this train sleepover with the perfect movie to go with it. What a day and evening she must have had. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I personally really needed to see and feel this joy, light and happiness. May the Lord continue to be with you on this and every Journey you take. God bless.
You two have traveling with a kid down pat!! The train is fantastic. This was a great time, even the toilet repair. I have faith that you will make it!!!!
It is lightening to my soul to see how excited Sadie get! How she is learning and experiencing with this trip. I hope you make your goal! Love the three of you!!!❤
Sadie delighted look on her face is worth all the other little problems with the airstream. Jordan I know that you have the ability to resolve the problems and keep things holding together as you did with the light! Black tape does come in handy LOL! Seeing all the coffee recipients is so heart warming but seeing Sadie's delight in seeing the Polar Express is priceless. Kaylee your youthful outlook on the Christmas being so close is also priceless don't ever feel less than wonderful when you experience those feelings. Continued safe travels and see you all in the next one!
I too think Sadie is the cutest and the smartest 2 year old, she truly is amazing. You can see how loved and how popular she is with your viewers. Sadie could have her own utube channel 🤔 I love traveling with you guys and seeing the beauty of our world, I am extremely grateful seeing it through Sadie’s eyes. I so agree with you Kaley, Halloween, Christmas, Easter.......I could go on 🤣🤣 they will be so friggin exiting for all of you ( us ) watching Sadie experience everything wonderful and new ❤️ stay safe
Well, like loads of folks are saying, Sadie is the best. I’m honestly just here to get my daily dose of some Sadie joy. She is so stinking precious and truly gives me a great outlook for the day when I wake up to watch your video every morning.
You guys are bringing it! And Sadie is doing fantastic! So glad you stayed on a train for her. The couple that found the beans was amazing!! People will DRIVE for it!
That was pretty cool the train and yes I’m all about Christmas being a Christmas baby myself. I love the old 70s and 80s Rudolph Christmas shows yeah airstream they’ve got their problems of course every RVs got their problems glad Sadie‘s having such a great time and yeah, there’s no way I would even go to Portland, or even California anymore be real careful people are breaking into everything over there. Be safe guys. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Oh Sadie girl! This is your Jam sweetheart!!❤❤ Awe Kaylee and Jordan, the glee and happiness on all your faces this night on the train is worth a million bucks to see❤❤ ( well except for Jordan when he was fixing the toilet with his hands in baggies😂) Love you guys! Congratulations Washington winners!

Kaylee that key is called a “ skeleton key”……we have a Log house with antique handles and hardware/locks,and have those keys.Great video,awesome train!, The intense look on Sadie’s face watching the movie,PRICELESS!💞
What an exciting and fun adventure you guys are creating for the viewers😉, it would be fun if others left a mini gift in the amo box for the next person who went on the hunt for the coffee......or return a sweet gift to you guys ...mailed back in the amo box .....maybe something iconic from the state the coffee was found in.....keep enjoying the adventure.... ❤
I don't think I'll ever even begin to get over the absolute, SWEETNESS & CUTENESS factor that lil' Sadie girl posseses. It's truly amazing. I ❤️ her. I mean..yes, I love you 2 as well..so much.. but man, my heart melts every time she says a word. ❤❤ thank you for sharing your lives. Truly inspiring. Love ya'll! Be safe.
Hello Jordan, Kayley, and Sadie; Electrical tape is good (duct tape also) Thank you, thank you for the caboose tour... it looks soooo good... just enjoy so much! I really like the idea of a caboose cabin! Sadie is just awesome and lovely as are her parents... Take care God Bless Linda in Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y'all went to felony flats on 82nd in Portland. It's always been a little gritty there and certain other pockets. It's getting better since they finally released the money from decriminalizing drugs legislation deal to go towards treatment and housing this passed summer.
Hellooo from 🇨🇦 near Sudbury Ontario ☺️ Thanks for the Flashback👍🏻💕 My Husband worked as a Track Maintainer/Foreman and my daughter (once out of school for summer holidays) and I got to travel alot in the Engines and Cabboses to where my Husband was working and we would tent close to the sections where his Gang, as they were called back, then would be repairing or changing rails... they eventually replaced the cabbooses with a black box which took the place of 2 jobs each train 😔 Loving your Journey thus far God's Continual Blessings to yous and that Sweetie Pie Sadie🙏😇🕊️💗... she's gonna store this Precious Memory 4Ever 👍🏻💕 see yous tomorrow 🥰🤗
Lovely to see Sadie and Kayleigh so excited! Shocking that the air stream has so many issues when it was brand new! Surely it has a warranty? Happy travels
Im in Oregon too and we're all looking for ya . I thought crater lake too but there's going to be a lot of us up there today looking out for you. I have a different place in mind but wont say, but I'll be there. This is fun you guys, thanks for this and I wanted to say that you are such great parents to Sadie. I majored in early childhood education and was a preschool teacher in CA and from a professional and mom's observation, you're inspiring that child in such a good way. ❤❤❤
This was a blast! ❤❤❤ the sleepover n the train, being surrounded by Christmas trees, Sadie watching Polar Express (the thrill n her little eyes), a well deserved bottle of wine 4 Mom & Dad. 😊 u guys had this down time. Congratulations Washington winners! Safe travels & God bless
Paragraph writer here, yup Tammy. Glacier National Park in Montana. In Essex Montana you can ride the Amtrak east from Everett Washington east on “The Empire Builder” and get off the train right there at the old train yard and Hotel. On the other side of the tracks up on a hill are I think 5 cabooses you can book for your time there. The hotel at one time housed the railroad workers. It’s a must see for you one day. 💜🦋
No worries about been excited about Christmas. I have my tree up already and slowly buying ornaments. Sadie is living everyones dream. Traveling and viewing many beautiful views.
Oh my goodness yes Christmas with the kids is thee best time,i went all in Santa's footprints with an old boot and fake snow,reindeer food,jingled bells outside and my dad dressed as Santa with a black garbage bag full of ripped off wallpaper over his shoulder,he walked past the window,my boys are now 27 and 25 i miss it so much..enjoy every minute of it xx
So sorry you are having troubles with your Airstream. We own Airstream that we bought over 20 years ago. There aren't many other manufactures that could claim to have 20, 30, or even 50 plus year old travel trailers that are still on the road. We have gutted it and modernized the interior to our liking and upgraded tires and exterior things along the way. It has been wonderful for all our adventures across the US and Canada but we too have to maintain and repair things each year. Over the years it has been big things like a furnace or fridge, or tires but other times it is just a loose screw or rivet or a new fan. They say that the interior of an Airstream experiences tornado -like forces when being towed. Many things can loosen and need a little tightening or repair . We make lists of things that can be repaired when our trip is over and focus on what has to be managed right away. It is difficult when your time is precious and you don't want to spend it repairing things. It has been helpful for us to put together a small tool kit and extra things that are Airstream specific like rivets and a rivet tool as you repair things along the way. Having backup things like an extra water pump or a toilet gasket handy helps with quick repairs and time management. You learn as you go. Your frustrations are valid and it is understandable why you would want it to be perfect. Establish a good relationship with a dealer near your home base area for complicated repairs and make an appointment to get it in when your trip is over. Your light fixture and furnace could be on that list. There are many Airstream youtubers (KYD is a great one) out that have gone through similar situations with their trailers and it helpful to watch others experience things and how to manage the unexpected. I just want to say that I watch your videos and learn from your experiences both the triumph and trials of running a coffee business and building a homestead in Panama.
Sadie russells up good memories for me, she is so much like my son at that age. My son's 1st trip was 7 days old, a train ride to visit family, from then on, we traveled around the world and all over the US. So much joy, watching them discover new things, meeting new people, Sadie will grow up to be an amazing human, when we expose our kids to other places, cultures, languages, it expands their brains. I wish all Americans could/would realize, life outside of their backyard, being cultured is just as important as education, makes for a better life and creates positivity. My son, now 41, is an amazing father,husband, individual, he's greatly involved in his community and confident, but most of all, happy . Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.
I’m the skinniest Santa every year for my daughter,my nieces and nephews and I love it lol. One of my favorite things. Our kid’s happiness is what all parents strive for.
On your grand adventure as you head south to California, I hope you stop in Redding to check out the Sundial bridge & Turtle Bay Exploratorium. it is right off I-5, take Hwy44 west across the Sacramento River to the next exit at Park Marina Dr, turn right & you will see a large parking area next to the civic auditorium. The Sundial Bridge is on the backside of the Civic, there is a Sheraton Hotel (their smallest footprint), a nice restaurant the Mosaic, Turtle Bay, a coffee shop next to the bridge, a beautiful walk across the glass-like bottom Sundial bridge, & beautiful trails to walk along the river. I hope you visit Redding!
Another epic vlog - Sadie’s excitement for everything is so refreshing ❤ and even inspiring to remind us to soak in every beautiful moment life can bring! 😊The fact that airstreams are so super expensive it’s very eye opening, (surprised they are not reaching out to you especially with the size of your platform) to see the shaudy workmanship and disappointing quality! 😮
Yay! I kept checking and checking to see when you would download this video. I wanted to be one of the first ones to comment on it. Can't wait for you all to come through Kansas love your journey and love you guys so much!
Hey y'all, there is a place in Titusville Pennsylvania called "The Caboose Motel". I stayed there while on a job several years ago. Unfortunately I think it's gonna be closed by the time you roll through the state. Check it out online sometime. Safe travels and prayers always 😊
I know you already know this but I have to say that Sadie has to be the cutest kid I have ever seen. She is so full of joy plus she is so smart and I know that’s because she has such great parents. I am just loving this trip of yours. Thanks so much!
She's adorable!
Totally agree with you ... She's sooooo Awesome 👍🏻❤
Totally agree, she is such a joyful child. Good genes and great parenting here❤
My grandbaby is 19, at around 14 he told me he didn't believe. We never watched polar express together again. We go to marvel movies and he helps me out alot, but I remember his face, at Sadie's age,and his sweet smile. Enjoy her every moment because its gone very fast. ❤❤❤
@@dream2be611 🩷🙏💜😇🚂🎠
Watching Sadie be happy is medicine for all ailments!
This episode just oozes with JOY!! Sadie swinging on the bar above the bed!! 🥰
What a tremendous experience you are sharing with us.
Also the way she let go straight away no fear, what great memories Sadie is going to have when she’s a woman and having video’s of some of them will be priceless ❤🫶🏻👍🏼🤟🏼🙏🫶🏻❤👨👩👧❤
Awww the couple finding the coffee were soooo joyful, then they put the brakes on it thinking it might just be the box, and then unleashed their happiness fully. Sooo fun.
Honestly, I cry every time someone finds the bag of coffee. They're so genuinely excited!
It just brings back my faith in humans doing something wonderful and giving. ...not just the gift of this expensive delicacy of a rare bag of coffee; but, the adventure to a really great scavenger hunt.
I think it reminds me of when I was a kid. My friends and I playing D&D on Bass Rocks and at the end of The Neck in Gloucester and Rockport. We had EPIC adventures pretending to slay dragons. We would collect rocks, shells, sea glass, seaweed---all having magic powers.
Love what you are doing!
The caboose was the train conductor's office. The crew used the caboose as a home out on the road. The brakeman was also stationed in the caboose. The conductor rode in the big chair up in the cupola to watch the train. He also operated the air valve that operated a whistle when the train ran in reverse. He signaled at every crossing with the whistle. They had a caboose coal stove, a small pot bellied stove that sit in a corner to keep them warm. Also a toilet and sometimes a sink. All the conveniences of home.
Glad you got yourself a jacket Jordan because by the time you make it to some parts of the south we will likely have some cold weather down here too. However, we likely will not have snow. Stay safe on your journey. It seems Sadie has turned out to be the little family STAR. I love to watch her growth and see her daily learning and adventurous experiences. Love you all so much.
I love the way how Sadie's face lit up when she saw the train 🚆 and having to spend the night in it. It's so precious seeing her so happy ❤❤😊😊
We had an RV that continually leaked until we read the best way to prevent water from leaking out, pour a little white vinegar in the bowl. When we did that the water didn’t drain out and the horrible smell stopped. …. Love watching Sadie 💖
It's so interesting to watch Sadie's little personality she is beautiful! It is so nice because she is spending so much quality time with you both on this adventure of a lifetime❤😊 I love watching your show!

in case my last post got lost! DURANGO & SILVERTON NARROW GAUGE in Durango, CO! if you love trains it’s SO SO SO worth going! close to the 4-corners, one of the last steam trains still running, beautiful views to an old mining town, amazing restaurants: The Himalayan & Carvers. Enjoy! So fun watching Sadie! 💗
More than likely that was a caboose. Those high platforms were some of the bunks for the crew on long trips. I rode in a caboose back in 1963 when I was 7 years old, through part of Pendleton, Oregon. I have always loved trains!
Yeah Oregon, you’re in my home state! So glad you chose here to unwind. That train is just perfect for Sadie 💕
Sadie’s joy at life is so contagious. What a blessing. Are you able to share where you stayed in the caboose? My husband is recovering from emergency open heart surgery. Our travels have been dampened for a while but he’s anxious for an adventure. We live in Oregon and I think he would love a night in a caboose. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your joy.
Jordan, just want to let you know, we have been campers for over thirty years and every camper you get breaks, we just have learned to fix asap so things don't add up. It is not just airstream. Lol!
I watch your trip everyday just to see Sadie ❤ she lights up my evening. Lots of love from Cape Town South Africa.
Not only is this a fun trip to watch, but Sadie is so smart. She’s so alert to everything, she has good genes and great parents she’s a lucky girl for sure. Sadie has the travel blood in her genes as well. So cool. And I totally understand the travel blood because my parents traveled with us all across country many times and into Canada and Mexico. So I get it. Thanks for sharing. ❤
My grandfather worked on the railroads for many years. I can assure you that the Caboose (that you slept in) was for the employees that worked for the railroad company. And, it was NOT that nice! Lolol It was a place for the exhausted workers to sleep, while the conductors kept driving through the night. But, how DELIGHTFUL to see Sadie fall in love with trains. I STILL have my grandpa's railroad lantern from 1915, and I will love trains until the day I leave this planet. Love you guys!
The next project on Lola’s farm needs to be a swing set

Absolutely love seeing your viewers find your coffee.
I’ve followed you for years, love you.
Thank you for always sharing.

When you put the airstream back in storage coat the toilet ring with Vaseline to keep it from drying out and sticking to the toilet. Save you from having to replace it again
Sadie swinging on the bar above the bed and dropping down is the cutest thing. She is so adorable ! Making memories with her she will never forget. Safe travels and looking forward to the next video.
Jordan turn the water off put on a disposable glove rub Vaseline on the seal top and bottom and it won't leak anymore. Beats having to replace the seal. Works every time
Just imagine having a few of the train couches on Lola's Farm. Hire them out as B&B (Air). I sure love the layout. And view room does it all. Magic. Regards 🇿🇦.
I hate to bust your bubble, but that isn't a first-class sleeper car. It is a caboose, where the conductor and signalman would stay. The comfortable seats up high are where they would sit when the train was moving to maximize visibility. Passengers were NOT allowed in the caboose. However most cabooses were attached to freight trains, rather than passenger trains. Cabooses were phased out over twenty years ago, when automation took over the railroads.
That caboose was epic! Sadie will definitely remember this moment forever!! Loving this adventure so much ❤️🚎☕️
Agreed!! #davesandersstepdaughter
Not sure that Sadie will actually remember any of this eventually - it is unusual to remember much detail about things that happen at this age. However, you have all this video to show her that may actually jog her memory. Plus, she is learning and experiencing stuff that will shape her life, even if she doesn't realize it later. What a wonderful foundation for a human being to have. You are great parents and someday when your life journey is done, that will be your most enduring legacy.
I've been a MM coffee subscriber for about 2 years now and I am super happy that you started selling dark roast. It's my fave. And the Harvest is the BEST!! I look forward to my morning coffee everyday.
Thanks for all that you do♥
Yes, Kaylee you are absolutely right. When you are whitnessing your child see or experience something for the first time, it is absolutely magical. Hugs & love & be safe! 💞♥️
My husband used to start with Christmas music in September, I have finally after decades gotten him to wait until November 1.
Congratulations to the Portland winners for being the first ones to record their video in the landscape format! Finally!!! Yay!!!!
The Nomadic Movement....bringing happiness and joy one bean at a time. Love to see the hunt, smiles and gratitude on people's faces. ❤❤❤
Hello Jordan, kaylee and sadie that train sleepover cart looks amazing seeing sadie get to see all these beautiful and exciting places the look on her face is priceless love the adventures feel like I'm right there to
I love you y’all soooooo much!!!! And have been following for many years.. well since the start. I’m not tech savvy and just recently learned how to comment on videos. You are making so many people happy!!!! I can not wait until y’all get to Texas! ( Tejas ) I hope it’s in north Texas! It’s a huge state, but, my small community would LOVE it so much if you put it up by the Red River. I would call in sick! Just joking , I wouldn’t do that at all! I am a retired 911 dispatcher, of 30 yrs between State and County. I sit with a 83 yr old lady with Alzheimer’s Disease. I lost both my mother AND her mother to this horrible, horrible slow death. I now work with private patients that need someone that understands and can love them unconditionally . Even if I hear the same story 20 times a day. I’m not exaggerating, but I don’t care. She is the sweetest lady ever! She would love a little adventure to look for this wonderful coffee. And I would love to share this with my neighbors! Mostly Mexicans. But they would appreciate it so much! Be safe. Sadie is the cutest EVER! And I’m glad that she got to sleep in the train. Y’all make me so happy, you have no idea! Your love and compassion for people is undeniable. Much love ❤️ , Crista
It would be impossible for her to be any cuter!!! I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see you guys everyday … you’d joy is palpable !!! Wish these 10 minute blogs went on for longer than 48 days!…😊
This train car is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. So sorry your Airstream is giving you so many problems. You’d think they would see your videos and then give you immediate assistance.
My daughters are now 23 and 25 and still, every Christmas Eve we watch Polar Express from day one. It is one of our Christmas traditions. We love it. The girls even imitate the homeless guy on top of the train. 😃😃💕💕💕
The Columbia River is 5 minutes away from where we live. Yes, Oregon is a beautiful state and I am glad that you have enjoyed it. I was raised in Iowa and moved here in 1965. This is Gods country. The high today will be in the 50’s but I love it. 75 years old and loving Oregon.
I’m glad you enjoyed the caboose camping. Trains no longer have a caboose. The Christmas tree farm must have been a real treat to see how they are grown and where they come from.
Your daughter looks as she is having a great time. I remember traveling to different states when I was young. I can’t imagine seeing all 48 states at her age. Lucky kid.
The homeless camps are terrible around Portland. What will fix this I don’t know? Can you imagine how this problem affects our crime rate?
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
It's insane how smart that precious kid of yours is .. love that you found such an amazing place to watch Polar Bear Express in .. as much as everyone will tell you how fast time flies .. IT REALLY DOES .. I am so glad that you both enjoy living in the moment with her as in the blink of an eye she is all growed up xo and can't wait for the next adventure 💓💙💜
Any camper is a great time, until something breaks, leaks, or misfunctions. Even the best of class A's have problems. It becomes part of the expected, part of the adventure!! Leave some wiggle room in your schedule and for the most part, you'll be fine.
So sweet! Sadie's at the cutest age! Never forget it! It doesn't last forever but it's all good all along the way. Always stay positive, find the silver lining. It's always there! Much love from Utah!
I feel like a winner because I just ordered Honey Harvest. Love you guys so much. Thanks for just being who you are, amazing and fun. ❤
As a Mom I know exactly what you mean Kaylee, savor every moment.
I love trains too. Lucky Sadie to have great parents, who let her day dream about trains and see them from the window and even let her sleep in a caboose with them. Good job guys and gals
Watching your baby girl brings such a huge smile to my face. This trip, she will never forget. Y'all are killing it!! Stay safe and see you in the next one!!!!!
4:00 I’m literally drinking Honey Harvest while you’re talking about Honey Harvest. 🙌🏻✨😂❤️
Kaylee, kids 100% make the holidays more magical!! Our daughter is 9 now, and I’m missing her small watching Sadie, she’s so sweet! 🥰❤️
Coffee 👍
That unit you asked, What is this, is a back up or reverse valve. It usually had a small whistle on it to blow when they came to a crossing backing up. The valve would have been used to stop the train from the caboose in case of an emergency.
I love watching people finding the coffee, but watching lil Saddie enjoying life, just brightens my days. Thumbs up and love from S. California. You'll be the closest to me, real soon.
That Christmas magic comes with grandchildren also. I started shopping for kids and grandkids back in May and I am done! LOVE all the Christmas trees around the train. Super special! Sadie is just a joy.
Omg, I usually have my shopping done by August, I don't like shopping, so it's good no crowds to deal with.
If you are like me, January is when I start thinking about it,lol
It's great with your kids, but even better with the grandkids!
Merry Christmas!
Arhhh guys you have to build Sadie her very own choochoo train bed and hang a swing in her room once you start building your home, shes just adorable🥰 xxx
Nah…build her a caboose playhouse on the mountain!
Sadie is adorable. Thank you for sharing your story.
Same thing happened to my family with our airstream we got a few years back, after a month things started falling apart and was so expensive to keep fixing we had to sell it. Sold it for more than the original price but still didnt break even, i would highly suggest getting rid of it before you lose the investment!
Oh my gosh I started tearing up when you were talking about watching the Polar Express! That is my all time favorite Christmas movie!🎄 My son was crazy about trains when he was young (so crazy about trains that one time we were stuck at a railroad crossing and while I was aggravated we did not get across in time, he gleefully said from the car seat "mom we are so lucky!"🥺❤) So when that movie came out, it became our favorite Christmas movie! "The bell still rings for all who truly believe."❤❤❤
That Sadie! You will just continue to see more and more joy through the eyes of your little sweetheart. She is going to grow up to be so well rounded and grounded. Enjoy every second!
Also, the bliss on the faces of all the winners is..priceless! You two are amazing!❤️😍😎
Okay, Sadie just makes me smile. "Sadie goes on by myself", so darn cute! Sorry about the issues with the trailer. Continued safe travels.
That caboose tho! 🤩 Sadie's smile is everything ❤❤❤
Sadie's excitement is just precious!! What an experience you will never forget!!❤❤❤
This is so incredibly sweet. I can't think of a better time or age for Sadie to experience this train sleepover with the perfect movie to go with it. What a day and evening she must have had. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I personally really needed to see and feel this joy, light and happiness. May the Lord continue to be with you on this and every Journey you take. God bless.
The best thing about having kids is getting to see everything for the first time again through the eyes of your children.
I love seeing Saddie so happy. She's around the age of my grandson and they're both growing so fast. Thanks for sharing. Love ya, Nancy
Love seeing Sadie so excited, shes a wonderful wee girl. You surely are lucky parents!
You two have traveling with a kid down pat!! The train is fantastic. This was a great time, even the toilet repair. I have faith that you will make it!!!!
My kids are 16 & 18, I still cry at the Polar Express. It will never change. I’m so glad you took time out of the routine. Enjoy.
It is lightening to my soul to see how excited Sadie get! How she is learning and experiencing with this trip. I hope you make your goal! Love the three of you!!!❤
Taking trips is a must in life!
Sadie delighted look on her face is worth all the other little problems with the airstream. Jordan I know that you have the ability to resolve the problems and keep things holding together as you did with the light! Black tape does come in handy LOL! Seeing all the coffee recipients is so heart warming but seeing Sadie's delight in seeing the Polar Express is priceless. Kaylee your youthful outlook on the Christmas being so close is also priceless don't ever feel less than wonderful when you experience those feelings. Continued safe travels and see you all in the next one!
Have you been on the Polar Express?
I too think Sadie is the cutest and the smartest 2 year old, she truly is amazing. You can see how loved and how popular she is with your viewers. Sadie could have her own utube channel 🤔 I love traveling with you guys and seeing the beauty of our world, I am extremely grateful seeing it through Sadie’s eyes.
I so agree with you Kaley, Halloween, Christmas, Easter.......I could go on 🤣🤣 they will be so friggin exiting for all of you ( us ) watching Sadie experience everything wonderful and new ❤️ stay safe
Well, like loads of folks are saying, Sadie is the best. I’m honestly just here to get my daily dose of some Sadie joy. She is so stinking precious and truly gives me a great outlook for the day when I wake up to watch your video every morning.
You guys are bringing it! And Sadie is doing fantastic! So glad you stayed on a train for her. The couple that found the beans was amazing!! People will DRIVE for it!
We drove to Alaska for snow, imagine what people will do for coffee 😃
So glad you guys slowed down for minute to have some fun with the family. Another great episode ❤
Been here refreshing youtube all morning waiting to see where you hide the bag in Oregon! 😂 Guess Ill have to wait one more day.
That was pretty cool the train and yes I’m all about Christmas being a Christmas baby myself. I love the old 70s and 80s Rudolph Christmas shows yeah airstream they’ve got their problems of course every RVs got their problems glad Sadie‘s having such a great time and yeah, there’s no way I would even go to Portland, or even California anymore be real careful people are breaking into everything over there. Be safe guys. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Oh Sadie girl! This is your Jam sweetheart!!❤❤ Awe Kaylee and Jordan, the glee and happiness on all your faces this night on the train is worth a million bucks to see❤❤ ( well except for Jordan when he was fixing the toilet with his hands in baggies😂) Love you guys! Congratulations Washington winners!

Kaylee that key is called a “ skeleton key”……we have a Log house with antique handles and hardware/locks,and have those keys.Great video,awesome train!, The intense look on Sadie’s face watching the movie,PRICELESS!💞
I love seeing Sadie so excited & the joy it brings you both! She would love Avery Park in Corvallis Oregon and the big train you can play on and in.
What an exciting and fun adventure you guys are creating for the viewers😉, it would be fun if others left a mini gift in the amo box for the next person who went on the hunt for the coffee......or return a sweet gift to you guys ...mailed back in the amo box .....maybe something iconic from the state the coffee was found in.....keep enjoying the adventure.... ❤
What do you think of our adventure? 😅
I don't think I'll ever even begin to get over the absolute, SWEETNESS & CUTENESS factor that lil' Sadie girl posseses. It's truly amazing. I ❤️ her.
I mean..yes, I love you 2 as well..so much.. but man, my heart melts every time she says a word. ❤❤ thank you for sharing your lives. Truly inspiring. Love ya'll! Be safe.
Hello Jordan, Kayley, and Sadie;
Electrical tape is good (duct tape also)
Thank you, thank you for the caboose tour... it looks soooo good... just enjoy so much!
I really like the idea of a caboose cabin!
Sadie is just awesome and lovely as are her parents...
Take care
God Bless
Linda in Canada

Y'all went to felony flats on 82nd in Portland. It's always been a little gritty there and certain other pockets. It's getting better since they finally released the money from decriminalizing drugs legislation deal to go towards treatment and housing this passed summer.
Hellooo from 🇨🇦 near Sudbury Ontario ☺️ Thanks for the Flashback👍🏻💕 My Husband worked as a Track Maintainer/Foreman and my daughter (once out of school for summer holidays) and I got to travel alot in the Engines and Cabboses to where my Husband was working and we would tent close to the sections where his Gang, as they were called back, then would be repairing or changing rails... they eventually replaced the cabbooses with a black box which took the place of 2 jobs each train 😔
Loving your Journey thus far God's Continual Blessings to yous and that Sweetie Pie Sadie🙏😇🕊️💗... she's gonna store this Precious Memory 4Ever 👍🏻💕 see yous tomorrow 🥰🤗
Lovely to see Sadie and Kayleigh so excited! Shocking that the air stream has so many issues when it was brand new! Surely it has a warranty? Happy travels
Im in Oregon too and we're all looking for ya . I thought crater lake too but there's going to be a lot of us up there today looking out for you. I have a different place in mind but wont say, but I'll be there. This is fun you guys, thanks for this and I wanted to say that you are such great parents to Sadie. I majored in early childhood education and was a preschool teacher in CA and from a professional and mom's observation, you're inspiring that child in such a good way. ❤❤❤
Oregon was home for eighteen years. Lovely to see you there, and enjoying the train!
That is so cool!! So happy for you all and to see you enjoying your little girl. So precious. Making priceless memories.
This was a blast! ❤❤❤ the sleepover n the train, being surrounded by Christmas trees, Sadie watching Polar Express (the thrill n her little eyes), a well deserved bottle of wine 4 Mom & Dad. 😊 u guys had this down time. Congratulations Washington winners! Safe travels & God bless
The caboose was where the railroad workers slept and lived.
I adore the train car and what a treat for all of you! Sadie having such a great time and congrats to the winners of the coffee!!!
Paragraph writer here, yup Tammy. Glacier National Park in Montana. In Essex Montana you can ride the Amtrak east from Everett Washington east on “The Empire Builder” and get off the train right there at the old train yard and Hotel. On the other side of the tracks up on a hill are I think 5 cabooses you can book for your time there. The hotel at one time housed the railroad workers. It’s a must see for you one day. 💜🦋
It’s called the Izzak Walton Inn
Jordan one minute into every video: "Kaylee's hangry"
Hahahahaha
No worries about been excited about Christmas. I have my tree up already and slowly buying ornaments. Sadie is living everyones dream. Traveling and viewing many beautiful views.
Oh my goodness yes Christmas with the kids is thee best time,i went all in Santa's footprints with an old boot and fake snow,reindeer food,jingled bells outside and my dad dressed as Santa with a black garbage bag full of ripped off wallpaper over his shoulder,he walked past the window,my boys are now 27 and 25 i miss it so much..enjoy every minute of it xx
Wow in Philomath, so close to where I live. Looking forward to tomorrow for possible road trip. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Me too!! Excited for tomorrow ha
So sorry you are having troubles with your Airstream. We own Airstream that we bought over 20 years ago. There aren't many other manufactures that could claim to have 20, 30, or even 50 plus year old travel trailers that are still on the road. We have gutted it and modernized the interior to our liking and upgraded tires and exterior things along the way. It has been wonderful for all our adventures across the US and Canada but we too have to maintain and repair things each year. Over the years it has been big things like a furnace or fridge, or tires but other times it is just a loose screw or rivet or a new fan. They say that the interior of an Airstream experiences tornado -like forces when being towed. Many things can loosen and need a little tightening or repair . We make lists of things that can be repaired when our trip is over and focus on what has to be managed right away. It is difficult when your time is precious and you don't want to spend it repairing things. It has been helpful for us to put together a small tool kit and extra things that are Airstream specific like rivets and a rivet tool as you repair things along the way. Having backup things like an extra water pump or a toilet gasket handy helps with quick repairs and time management. You learn as you go. Your frustrations are valid and it is understandable why you would want it to be perfect. Establish a good relationship with a dealer near your home base area for complicated repairs and make an appointment to get it in when your trip is over. Your light fixture and furnace could be on that list. There are many Airstream youtubers (KYD is a great one) out that have gone through similar situations with their trailers and it helpful to watch others experience things and how to manage the unexpected. I just want to say that I watch your videos and learn from your experiences both the triumph and trials of running a coffee business and building a homestead in Panama.
Sadie russells up good memories for me, she is so much like my son at that age.
My son's 1st trip was 7 days old, a train ride to visit family, from then on, we traveled around the world and all over the US.
So much joy, watching them discover new things, meeting new people, Sadie will grow up to be an amazing human, when we expose our kids to other places, cultures, languages, it expands their brains.
I wish all Americans could/would realize, life outside of their backyard, being cultured is just as important as education, makes for a better life and creates positivity.
My son, now 41, is an amazing father,husband, individual, he's greatly involved in his community and confident, but most of all, happy .
Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.
Love Sadie’s outlook on life ❤ definitely doing an amazing job with her ❤
I’m the skinniest Santa every year for my daughter,my nieces and nephews and I love it lol. One of my favorite things. Our kid’s happiness is what all parents strive for.
On your grand adventure as you head south to California, I hope you stop in Redding to check out the Sundial bridge & Turtle Bay Exploratorium. it is right off I-5, take Hwy44 west across the Sacramento River to the next exit at Park Marina Dr, turn right & you will see a large parking area next to the civic auditorium. The Sundial Bridge is on the backside of the Civic, there is a Sheraton Hotel (their smallest footprint), a nice restaurant the Mosaic, Turtle Bay, a coffee shop next to the bridge, a beautiful walk across the glass-like bottom Sundial bridge, & beautiful trails to walk along the river. I hope you visit Redding!
Another epic vlog - Sadie’s excitement for everything is so refreshing ❤ and even inspiring to remind us to soak in every beautiful moment life can bring! 😊The fact that airstreams are so super expensive it’s very eye opening, (surprised they are not reaching out to you especially with the size of your platform) to see the shaudy workmanship and disappointing quality! 😮
Yay! I kept checking and checking to see when you would download this video. I wanted to be one of the first ones to comment on it. Can't wait for you all to come through Kansas love your journey and love you guys so much!
Hey y'all, there is a place in Titusville Pennsylvania called "The Caboose Motel". I stayed there while on a job several years ago. Unfortunately I think it's gonna be closed by the time you roll through the state. Check it out online sometime. Safe travels and prayers always 😊
