I’ve lived about the restaurant bayou on bay in downtown Bellingham for 5 years now unfortunately moving on to better home hopefully November 31st, 2021. So cool you guys visited my hometown I was literally pointing out everything/where you guys visited in Bellingham Washington and not gonna lie cried happy tears cause it’s so beautiful and I never see Bellingham Washington videos on RUclips. Good luck on your adventure and stay safe! 💜
As someone who has played basketball against Frankie AND Alex, his shots on net must have taken all day and some great editing…. Love you guys! 🥰 I miss sharing breakfast with Paco! Stay safe, have fun!
Great video! Loving the vibe and music. Frank - great cut and beard. Alex - you look so beautiful, totally dug the double French braids! Vanlife totes agrees with you two. 🤗
Thank you so much Adrienne! We are working on the vibe for sure haha and I totally agree, Frankie looks extra cute with a tight cut haha You're such a sweet heart! Lots of love - Alex
Arrive after dark, leave at sunrise. Any neighborhood where people park on the streets is good. I've parked in upscale neighborhoods where police cruise the streets all night long without a problem.
oh my gosh Andrew that is too cool! haha hope she found somewhere cool for it and you are awesome for checking out the channel! So nice to meet you :) Have an awesome day!!
I LOVE Little Big Burger - we have them in Portland as well! Alex, what are the shoes you were wearing in the home depot parking lot? I want a pair of those!
Thank you so much!! It's always nice when someone comments on one of our older videos, brings back so many memories!!! We're so glad you found this gem cbingham40 🥰
Y'all had to mention bakery 😁 I just can't go pass a baker and not stop by them, it's one of my favorite places to goooo... cookies, cakes pastries fresh breads..... yummy 😋 will do bakeries before candy shops man...😁😁😁😁 Sending love hugs and prayers to y'all from me and my dad in Odessa TX 💖🤗💖🤗🐾💖🤗
She cooked the dinner, got up and put away the stuff that could fall before they drove away, and washed the dishes. He let air out of a basketball, and took a poop.
@@FnAVanLife hahaha I’m not surprised. The old people in this city are all old grumps. They are tired of the college kids and drug addicts in vans- so they treat all van lifers as a meth bus. Glad you guys had fun in this city!
Which part of Alaska are you guys going to? I could have some potential recommendations! I lived in Juneau for 5 years and did Vanlife up there for a summer. Either way, have SOOOO much fun!!
2 years without a knock is impressive. I'm in a Chevy Astro in the northeast and it's really tough with many restrictions here. In my 10 months I got one knock in a Home Depot lot in a Rhode Island beach town. I was told by someone not to try Walmart and what does the cop ask me? "Why didn't you just go to Walmart?" Go figure.
Oh man! There are certainly some areas that are worse than others Mark. California was the worst for us. We'll see how things have changed when we get back from Central America. We're in Nicaragua now.
My biggest fear is someone breaking into the Van and stealing my stuff while I'm at work. Homeless people have broken into my co workers work truck and stolen tools. How do you keep you're Van secure during the day? I'm debating whether to keep my van build simple, leave the curtain open and hide my few valueable items or close the curtain and let them wonder what goodies are behind it. I guess I could build lockable cabinets that are hard to break into and put a special film on the window that makes it hard to shatter the window.
I like to boondock at police stations for safety, but I always get the knock 9/10 times. I just explain this is tax payer funded public property and unless you have a sign saying no overnight parking, I'm allowed to park here.
Sounds like you haven't avoided the knock lol. But you have created safety for yourself. I guess I all depends on the city but we like to camp in other places but something you might want to think about work be church's or hospitals. Honestly camping on the street for us have been pretty easy going every where.
Hey Guys, you drove past a perfectly good service station, when I am driving anywhere, even if I don't buy any fuel, I go to the service station to use the toilet, why did you drive further to the walmart, what's wrong with USA service stations?
A lot of city's it is easier to find a grocery store or home depot. We use services stations all the time nothing wrong with them at all. We just wanted to show that there are plenty of options.
@@FnAVanLife fair enough, whenever I overland around the world I always go in the service station, have to refuel may as well empty at the same time...lol!
I think it slipped her mind Frankie, feeding her family was more important and I certainly would not do it lol. Stay safe and away from the sweet's lol .
Lol it was only a joke in the video 🙃 I know how it goes and some thing I don't mind doing. We both are here to help each other and if that means I have to dispose of the pee. Then I'm okay with is lol.
My biggest fear is someone breaking into my Van and stealing my stuff while I'm at work. Homeless people have smashed windows and stolen tools out of my co workers truck. I'm debating as to whether to keep my build simple, leave the curtain open and hide valuables or close the curtain and let them wonder what goodies are hidden back there. I guess I could build a lockable cabinet that would be hard to break into and put a special film on the windows that makes it harder to shatter them. I'm not as worried about a night break in because then I can choose a safer spot and I'll have second amendment protection.
I wonder if the work trucks had logos on the side that would indicate *I'm full of expensive tools* 🤔 I mean, it happens! That's why we get insurance. I think the less that's seen the better, the less on the outside, the less expensive things look the better. Totally get not feeling good leaving the van behind, but if someone sees what you've got in there, they might be more likely to smash and grab.
@@FnAVanLife The PF contract I read for black card said only 10 visits per month away from your home club. They are all independently operated, so it makes sense.
Hahahah Bart!!!! Omg you are too funny. Frankie can't argue, that was a good pickle! 👌 and California Citrus sounds amazing! I try and get a different one everything and then forget which ones I liked. It's a fun game!
Frankie, Alex cooks for you, edits & films more & probably takes more care of Paco. Dude, the least you can do is take out the pee pee & caca for the lady. Besides, she's vegan. Lack of protein makes vegans more forgetful & have loss of muscle tissue. It's harder to remember these things & to lift heavy pee. 😝😜😁
Hahahahaha. No I take more care of Paco most of the time also I do most of the filming she does the editing for the weekend videos. I do the mid week. I'm also the driver the handy man and the one who answer most of the comments. Lol. We all have our jobs to make the wheels turn. Hahahaha
@@FnAVanLife Gotcha, but I've already made the joke based on false assumptions. Going back now & correcting the record, will only destroy the integrity of said joke. 🤙😉
There all all kind of burgers here we aren't telling you to get the veggie one lol. You have the option to make your own choice that is what is great about being human.

Stealth camping is my jam.

Great vid guys! Always enjoy the adventures. My eldest daughter lived in Bellingham for a few years. Great little town. Love to Paco 🚐🐾🏞🍔
Loved it there. Such a cute place and the hikes in town were all so incredible 😍
I tried to move there in my van pre-pandemic but it didn’t work out at the time. Hoping to head back in the near future!
it was a really cool place! and it seemed very van friendly so, why not go for it Micah!
How exciting, hope you get to Alaska this time. 👍🏼
eeeeeep we are going for it!!! Check it out here!!! ruclips.net/video/_M7Pjw6F6xY/видео.html
Nice video, luv how alex unintentionally made frankie throw out the pee!!! Lol 😂😂😂😂🚛🚛🚛
whoopse daisy!!! hahaha
I LOVE Little Big Burger - we have them in Portland as well! Alex, what are the shoes you were wearing in the home depot parking lot? I want a pair of those!
They started in Portland and branched out. 🥰 they are called Blundstones you can find them at REI. They need braking in but she is loving them. ❤
Entertaining & great editing! keep doin whatcha do.
Well thank you so much Viva!!! You are fn' awesome!!! Xo Alex
Great video guys!
Glad you enjoyed. What a great place.
Woohoo love the hair bow 💕

Hey Frankie and Alex!I got both a those stickers from grandma and poppie

You guys do a great job putting these videos together
Thank you so much!! It's always nice when someone comments on one of our older videos, brings back so many memories!!! We're so glad you found this gem cbingham40 🥰

Hahaha yummy and someone has a sweet tooth. 😋
@@FnAVanLife I see you is, sure just rub it in.... LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the movie "RV," Robin Williams (playing the husband) said "I have an I-C-B-M coming!" when he supposedly needed a bathroom break.
hahaha for one family vacation my family called it "taking an Alex" it wasn't very flattering 😂
She cooked the dinner, got up and put away the stuff that could fall before they drove away, and washed the dishes. He let air out of a basketball, and took a poop.
Lmao🤣 some days are just lopsided.
You guys parked directly in front of my house by the park 😂 currently watching your videos to get ideas. Living on the road in 2 weeks
Omg that's too funny! One of your neighbors took a photo of our van and license plate and sent it to their city counselor to get us evicted! Lol
@@FnAVanLife hahaha I’m not surprised. The old people in this city are all old grumps. They are tired of the college kids and drug addicts in vans- so they treat all van lifers as a meth bus.
Glad you guys had fun in this city!
Which part of Alaska are you guys going to? I could have some potential recommendations! I lived in Juneau for 5 years and did Vanlife up there for a summer. Either way, have SOOOO much fun!!
We will be here for the summer dm us on Instagram. Any and all recommendations we are open ears 👂😊
Frankie is an ace in basketball. I'm unable to make one.
Well he does miss a lot too haha Sophanara if you aim for the box above the net and it makes it easier. Tips he gave me that actually work! xo Alex
The walls look really good you must have done a zillion coats
No we did 2 coats just used good quality white wash.
Love the video thanks
Thank you so much Purposely Driven! We are glad you liked it! xo Alex
Bellingham has grown♥️

Nice Maria!!! Bellingham is sweet! We've visited there a few times. That taco place with the goat in the name is so good haha xo
Hey guys hru im loving that ceiling!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!! We really love it too :)
This is my hometown!

Did you guys use antique white on the walls? I don't remember
It's a water based wood stain in the color white wash. If we stumble across a old video we will let you know the brand.
Great video
Thanks you so much. 😃
So when you got "the knock " did you have to move? Can't really hide with a dog inside, LOL.😂
Honestly we have never gotten the knock. But yeah you would just walk to the front of the van and drive to a new spot.
Hey Guys, you drove past a perfectly good service station, when I am driving anywhere, even if I don't buy any fuel, I go to the service station to use the toilet, why did you drive further to the walmart, what's wrong with USA service stations?

Of course it slipped her mind ! Likely you said or did something to distract the poor girl... come on Frankie !
hahaha yes it was all his fault 😅
Hmmmm, is there a video of why the cancelled gym memberships?
I know the biggest issue for travelers is the limit on visits away from your home club.
mmmmm no I don't think so. Planet Fitness and AnyTime don't have limits as far as we know. We literally never went to our home club once lol
@@FnAVanLife The PF contract I read for black card said only 10 visits per month away from your home club. They are all independently operated, so it makes sense.
lovely couple.
What a lovely comment Frank, thank you! - Alex
And it is good Frank’s name isn’t Tom. Get it? TnA! 😉
Ehhhhh hahaha 😆
👍
thank you!!!
Don't post "vanlife" to your van if you want to avoid knocks.......
Lol I mean the MaxxAir fan and roof rack kind of give it away
WHOA! BETTER THAN A WHOPPER!
And definitely better than a Big Mac hahah
New qoute: Com'on, I gotta poop!
Is kombucha "California Citrus"?
I'm drinking that same one right now, if so.
About the pickle situation, we all know, Frankie likes my pickles. We have proof. haha
Hahahah Bart!!!! Omg you are too funny. Frankie can't argue, that was a good pickle! 👌 and California Citrus sounds amazing! I try and get a different one everything and then forget which ones I liked. It's a fun game!
I don't think it really slipped her mind 🤔
How to avoid the knock :. Don't put van life stickers on your van..
Ummm Carl I don't know if that matters. Some police we've spoken to like the stickers cause they can look you up and know you're not trouble.

Not liking the bad language.
Sorry SC. We don't really cuss that much especially on camera. That's just us. Hope you have a nice day!

Too much information !
Better than not enough information Josefina! Lol can't please em all! Xo Alex
