Very excited to watch your journey back up to Alaska in this new RV. I am curious as I watch the video how you are able to fit everyone and all your gear into this RV for such a long trip without a lot of Cargo Capacity. When we had our Class C we had close to 2800 pounds, and when we traveled with our two daughters, we were always very close, if not over our GVWR, which is the primary reason we went to a Class A with over 4600 pounds of CCC and don't have to worry about safely loading our RV and Towing the Motorcycle.. I know that Grand Design said they were targeting 2000 pounds of CCC. I think that as Grand Design Ambassadors, it would be really beneficial to all of us if you were to post up what your are taking to Alaska, and then Put it on the CAT Scale and post the ticket. Thanks guys and safe travels.
That station at the WTC with the stunning architecture was designed by Spanish architect/engineer Santiago Calatravo. His work is very distinctive and once you know his style it's pretty easy to identify his work at a glance. As you were filming your walk thru the station, I thought to myself, gotta be Calatravo, so I looked it up and yup! Next time you are near Milwaukee, WI, (on your way to Alaska?) check out the Milwaukee Art Museum, it's another stunning example of his work. Besides museums and rail stations, he's also well known for his bridge designs.
9/11 teaching 8th graders in Maine. Small school surrounded by woods and no cellphone service. Kids at gym special. Came back after gym upset and scared. They heard the news through high schoolers. We kept them working and kept reassuring them all day that they were safe. Years later, I went with some teachers to New York to see the memorial.
You will LOVE it! We’ve had 8 RVs (everything except an A) and 6 months ago traded our C for 21’ B Van. It’s just the two of us but the freedom to go and park anywhere is amazing. Wish we had done this years ago. Safe and Wonderful travels!
So we had an RV a lot like this with a full wall slide and I have to say you should level before you put the slide out. But that was our experience. David had to replace the motor on the slides two times in the 5 years we owned it. But we were using it more often than the average RVer
I remember 9/11 stationed Ft. Bragg, NC, 35th Sig Bn, ABN! Jumped into Bahrain, set up communications for the 82nd ABN, 75th rangers, and 3/5 Special Forces and Delta Force. Iraq didn’t have a prayer.
I was a Federal worker, working nights, so I was home at the time of the 9/11 tragedy. That evening the office was closed because they didn't know if it was going to be attacked. Truly scary times. My daughter was in 4th grade and one of the boys in her class lost his father in the building collapse. The bridges were closed for several days and we couldn't leave our home on the island if we wanted to. A month after the tragedy they shined double blue lights into the sky as a memorial. We drove past to see them when driving from our home on Long Island to go upstate NY to visit my mom.
Thank you thank you. I'm disabled and will never make it to New York. You are so great at documenting places. I feel like I've been there. Enjoyed this!!!
Happy belated birthday Cory. Yes the Mercedes is a very smooth riding chassis. The Sprinter is my daily driver for work. The only downside to the chassis is that the diesel engines have an EGR valve that gets dirty often and once it does the smooth drivetrain is not so smooth after. You will think that there is something wrong with the transmission when in fact it is the EGR valve that is dirty causing rpm issues and the computer will shift at odd times and it gets annoying. Other than that it is a stellar vehicle. Can't wait to see more of the Lineage Series and looking forward to when you get back to Elkhart. Cory kind of dropped a hint by talking about your current RV.
Thank you so much or your birthday wishes! Thank you so much for the tips regarding the Mercedes engine. Looking forward to sharing our Alaskan adventure with you! Thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday! Great video of NYC. Those Hank’s are something else,watching y’all in the new Rv especially the girls was great. We will be following this Alaska adventure for sure!
Fully agree with Corey about what I don't like about cities. I like to be in charge of my own movements. Good to visit, but give me my freedom and RV to roam. ❤
It is definitely something to consider when visiting cities! Fun for a few days, but we are ready for that freedom back right after! Thanks for joining us and taking the time to comment!
I love you guys. We too had our first anniversary with me over seas and the birth of our daughter while I was deployed. Yea go Navy. After that there was 57 years most of it camping in places that you have gone. I love seeing the difference from when we were there and now. Seeing what you do with photography all I can say, wish could have been there with KodaCrome 25
Thanks for taking us along to the Big Apple! We've been there a few times and have always enjoyed being there, but loved coming back home to control of our mobility. Happy Cory!🎉 Looking forward to your Alaskan adventure in the new rig. Safe travels
On 9/11 I was in Phoenix AZ preparing for my first solo (in flight school) which was scheduled for early that morning when I got a call from my sister back in NY. A native New Yorker, I was devasted by what was happening and not being able to get back to my family to make sure everyone was ok was torture. To this day, I find it very difficult to visit that site when I am back east. So many lives tragically lost that day.
I’m retired FAA, i definitely remember where I was. I don’t hear as much the last few years about the Memorial so glad you visited. It’s a definitely a bucket list.
Glad you are out of NY and onto other more wonderful places. As a New Yorker, I would never camp close to NYC (or any other city in NY), any camper that I could not access immediate drive-away abilities. Happy trails!
spectacular scenery...Canada's mountains are majestic and their lakes breathtaking. Your video is so inviting with photography the best. Travel on and make a thousand more memories. You can never take too many pictures!! I will be following you on Utube.
So excited for your Lineage journey! We've been in our Winnebago View (very similar) for 7 years and 56,000 miles so we understand the joy of driving one of these sweet little campers. We hope you have so much fun in the Lineage. Can't wait to follow the journey and see how you like "living little". Of course, in our case, 2 of 4 of our occupants were small 4-legged fur children so your girls take up a little more room than they did, LOL! And Happy birthday, young man!
The motor home will be a unique change and fun way to travel to Alaska. You’ll love the convenience of being able to use the bathroom and kitchen while going down the road. I’ll be curious to hear how you like the master bed that folds up. We got annoyed with one like it that we took to Alaska in 2023. Putting it up and down every day got old very fast! 😝
I am looking forward to your Alaska adventure in the Sprinter class C. But I also want to see the weigh scale printout once you have it filled with 4 people, their gear, your camping equipment, and food for Alaska. We have a similar MH but on a 350 chassis and are very limited in cargo capacity so I'm very interested in the 450 chassis and the difference. Happy travels.
First, what a beautiful family! Second, I'm so excited you are going to Alaska. One of my bucket list locations. It's a long way to drive by yourself. I'm so excited for you. Drive safe, enjoy and most of all have FUN 😊
Thank you so much! We are so excited to go back. I has been 6 years since we brought our travel trailer up. This should be a little easier to get into places up there! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Have fun. It’s great to be able to access everything while on the road. Just a few bits of advice - walking around is actually not supposed to be done while driving. You still get bounced around while driving. But when you stop you don’t need to get out to do anything which is great. Also to keep noise down put padding between dishes etc. it will be so great for a trip to AK. Enjoy. 😊
oh i'm so excited for your fam.. trip in this rig... and may i say WoW! Your family is blessed with a chance like this... safe travels... love the ending editing of the 2 trailer shots...Cool job there editor!!
I , as every UNION IRONWORKER in our field would like to have been on that job. Had to leave it to the great ironworkers in New York and the surrounding areas. It belonged to them. I do think there were a few Local 387 ironworkers out of Atlanta that did get there. Just saw more of the video. I remember being on the job site putting up steel for a new mall ( Discovery Mills Mall ) when I got the word of 9/11. At the start of the day I was running a crew on finishing up what HAD TO BE DONE BY END OF DAY . Ended up 1 man short for the day, I filled in as always. More work got added, 2/3 rd's thru the day we got the word. Told by office we could leave to be with our family's. 3 of use stayed to finish the job in 12 hours before we went home to family. That day is stuck in my brain forever. Could walk to and point the the exact spot I was when I got the word !!!!!!!
We have been full time for about 5 years now. We are on our third Rv actually, and just updated to a class A from a travel trailer. So far we love our motorized unit it makes those long 8-12 hour drive days so much easier. My daughter loves sitting at the table to play and snack and then curls up in the comfy recliners to watch TV.
Change is always exciting. Ya'll have been to Alaska once. I do know that alot of people who travel to Alaska in their personal rigs say they will never go back but in a rental. Smaller there is better finding free areas to camp heading there also. But, with the bumpy roads there and back I don't think it will be as nice as it it seems moving around inside freely but will be an adventure. Cory, I don't think you will survive without a truck and not having all your gear with you in the future. I hope it was a exciting Adventure for your family this time around again. Wife and I miss😂 having our 3 girls with us traveling in our bumper pull these last few years.
You guys got to ride in the Wonka-vator. Lol. So cool. We hope to visit NYC. On 9/11 I was working in Seattle and felt so guilty as after 20 years in the Navy I had friends/shipmates still serving. Thank you for your service and safe travels
Grew up in the NY area, worked in Manhattan and loved back when it was relatively safe. Hope you had a great time and no issues. Lombardi's pizza is my favorite and The Gang of NY was an awesome movie.
I love that the Lineage has auto level. That’s one thing I hate about the smaller RV’s, you have to use leveling blocks. I wish I could talk my husband into one of these. I can’t wait to see how you like it.
Can't wait to see what all you do in Alaska. We did 85 day trip with 60 some days in Alaska in a Class A towing an F150. What will you be towing behind the Class C? We got to all 7 Alaska National Parks and travel about every road that one could. Safe travels. Shame Jasper has had all of the fires if you were going through Jasper and Banff.
Being a country boy I've always said I wasn't going to go to New York, didn't loose anything there so no need going looking for it. Now you have me reconsidering my thoughts. Awesome video and glad you got to have a special birthday dinner with the Hanks for your baby girls birthday!
There are some amazing sites to see in NYC. The history is the very best for us. Definitely something to see at least once in your life in our opinion!
We were so close! I (Jess) was in Va Beach and then went to stay with friends in Norfolk until we knew what was happening and heard from Corey on his ship. It was so scary.
We had a 24' class C, a Winnebago Trend, that was AWESOME for vacations, but it was just too small for full-timing. Our GD 278BH is fantastic, but we miss being so nimble sometimes! It's incredible that your rig has auto level, which is something that few motorhomes that size do.
Fun and different episode with all the city stuff but you do have to see and enjoy that too. A little sad that you said you may be done with the old RV. Makes me wonder if the girls are going on to something new. Will you tow a vehicle? The truck? Enjoy
I am late commenting late. do to life, but it was one of my fave vlogs, so exciting, and informative.. So nice to see the girls so happy and excited.. Can't wait for the Alaska series, PS.. thanks for the 911. Tour, it really moved me just as it did that sad, sad, Day!!!! 😢😢
Corey, what will you guys be doing with your travel trailer once you get back from Alaska? My wife and I live in Southern California and have been married for 16 years with a 12 year old son I finally was able to get her out to the beach and camp for 3 nights she loved it. We took a travel trailer I bought from my grandpa and it's needs a lot of work which takes time and money. She mentioned to me that she would like to go more places, but the living space was a challenge for her.
As you said, we remember where we were on 9/11/2001. We were vacationing on the OBX, NC in a vacation home ocean front. We left our unit just before the attack occurred. We went to the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island that morning. We noticed a lot of workers had radios and were listening to the same broadcast. I told my husband something was going on; he brushed it off. We then went to the Aquarium; no one said a word to the quests about what was going on. As we traveled back to the Outer Banks, we noticed all the flags were at half-staff; I again told my husband something is going on. We got back to the Outer Banks just after 12 noon. We did not know what was going on until we walked into an oceanfront restaurant at Nags Head. They had a TV on and we heard the broadcasting and found out what had occurred. We never did get lunch; we could not pull ourselves away from the TV for several hours. There actually were planes flying after the 9/11 occurrence; in fact there were planes flying at regular intervals. Since we were oceanfront; we got see our military patrolling our coastline. Our fighter jets were in the air patrolling our coastline at regular intervals. For all the uncertainty, and the feeling we were under attack for what had just occurred in New York; every time those jets flew past our rental unit, it gave us a sense of security; our military was on duty and protecting America.
I really enjoy all your videos,however i was born in NYC and im a retired EMT who worked the NYC Fire EMS for 26 years.I also worked per-diem for a private Hospital EMS Service.
Thanks for taking us on your NY trip. The One World observation trip was stunning! One thing I would suggest you not doing in your new RV is, walking in it while driving. It may be tempting for making meals, etc., while moving, but it’s really not safe to do. We have a class A and I do not get up while it’s moving. We always pull over if we need to use bathroom or to eat. Think of turbulence in an airplane. 😊😳 Stay safe.
Loved the video and thanks for your service. You mentioned your experience on 9/11 and sounded like you were an OS? I was a OS1 in the Puget Sound and can confirm it was a weird sight seeing our air radar with no contacts on it.
I grew up in New York rode my bike all around Central Park been to concerts the ice skating rink and the zoo walked up and down Broadway Times Square also Burlington Coat Factory not the chain stores was a walk through which was great I have so many memories living there still have family in the boroughs all five love the traveling on the trains and buses
We have had a class C for eight years after towing a pop up for 12. You’ll quickly learn to love being able to access everything in traffic, rain, etc. Generator at the ready to kick in AC for stops, etc. Be careful, you may never go back to a tow behind. 🙂
Do you tow a car behind you?? It seems very inconvenient when you want to go to different places you need to take the RV with you instead of leaving it at the campsite
@@karenjohnson4778 We have not. On a rare occasion, we have rented a car. We have e-bikes for getting around locally if needed, and don’t stay in one place too long. (Usually a week at a time.) So we tend to restock, etc, as we go between places. That being said, we are entering longer term RVing (aka retirement) and have discussed shorter drive days (like no more than five hours) and just bringing another vehicle. We’ve not ever NEEDED another vehicle, but long term it might be convenient.
Great video as always! We have really enjoyed watching your family (ever since your first trip to Alaska). We have been keeping a watch out for a new Lineage since we arrived in Alaska at the beginning of July. Hopefully we will run into you somewhere! We're near Soldotna currently...hint hint...😂
@@FindingOurSomeday We just now saw your response. How ironic! It was wonderful to meet you both. Your were so gracious to take the time for two strangers who interrupted your day. Thank you! We wish you safe travels while you explore God's beautiful creation!
Alaska my dream..at 65 and don't fly maybe a cruise is the n my future.. Godspeed to the family praying for ur safety and the trip ahead be a blast greeting from NC and just one more mile
Lost a friend working as a camera man. Thought wed get married one day. Was there when allowed general public before they tore 3rd or 5th tower down. Long before memorial was built. The church was as inspiring. It was still intact exactly how pile workers were working. Never forget and ppl still continue die this day from what they breathed in.
I feel like the girls. Sad to see you guys pull away from the old rv but excited for your new adventures. It's home to you guys so it's like selling a house and moving out. But my big question is how will Corey be without his truck? Are you guys going to tow a vehicle?
Tip from a Class C owner: Always check outside for clearance before you put the slide out! This will be an amazing trip. I will really look forward to your vlogs!
On 9/11 I was working my first school year in CT and my students parents worked in the city and we didn’t know if they would make it home. We were on precautions as not sure if it would impact CT. My dad was supposed to take a job in the trade centers but he didn’t take it.
So grateful that your dad didn't take that job. And that you were able to be there for the kids in your class. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your story about that day!
I love your kids got to see so much in life for so many years. Question, how did they go to school ? I went to public school and had to go for 6 hours every day, 5 days a week. I know there are options now, but how do you do this on the road ?
Very excited to watch your journey back up to Alaska in this new RV. I am curious as I watch the video how you are able to fit everyone and all your gear into this RV for such a long trip without a lot of Cargo Capacity.

We really do love it so far! Such a fun change for our family and a great way to travel quickly!
The stone for the Empire State Building was quarried just down the street from my house in Needmore, Indiana. The quarry hole is called Empire Hole.
We didn't know that! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing!
So we had an RV a lot like this with a full wall slide and I have to say you should level before you put the slide out. But that was our experience. David had to replace the motor on the slides two times in the 5 years we owned it. But we were using it more often than the average RVer

Wow! Jess hasn't changed a bit since your 1st visit to NY!
That is very kind! Thank you! - Jess
Awesome Rig, this what we travel in a 24 ft Motorized unit. Safe travels and looking forward to more videos! Thanks for sharing!
We love NY and Bryant Park. Years ago, my wife and I celebrated New Years at Bryant Park Grill. WTC Memorial is a must as well.
I love you guys. We too had our first anniversary with me over seas and the birth of our daughter while I was deployed. Yea go Navy.

Check with Grand Design, generally you do the auto level first and then the slide.
Umm 😐 Absolutely...
Great contrasts in this video - New York, Linage, and friends! Enjoy the traveling!
Love the Hanks. And you guys. We were so fortunate to meet you, LJMJ and the Hanks ( Hangin with the Hanks) on our last adventure!!🇨🇦
Glad we got to meet you!
Loved seeing NY. Love all high building sights. You sure are enjoying your Trip.
I am looking forward to your Alaska adventure in the Sprinter class C. But I also want to see the weigh scale printout once you have it filled with 4 people, their gear, your camping equipment, and food for Alaska. We have a similar MH but on a 350 chassis and are very limited in cargo capacity so I'm very interested in the 450 chassis and the difference. Happy travels.
First, what a beautiful family!
Second, I'm so excited you are going to Alaska. One of my bucket list locations. It's a long way to drive by yourself. I'm so excited for you.
Drive safe, enjoy and most of all have FUN 😊
Thank you so much! We are so excited to go back. I has been 6 years since we brought our travel trailer up. This should be a little easier to get into places up there! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for the coverage of Central Park. It was way more than I ever thought.
We wish we had had more time to explore the park. It is so big and has such a cool history! So glad that it was preserved for everyone!
Have fun. It’s great to be able to access everything while on the road. Just a few bits of advice - walking around is actually not supposed to be done while driving.

Congratulations! I'm very happy for all of you! Thank you for sharing your new RV with us.
Your adventure in the big city of NY is spectacular. WOW, the new RV is crazy cool! Enjoy!
You guys got to ride in the Wonka-vator. Lol. So cool. We hope to visit NYC.

Great episode! Fun watching your girls grow up; great flashback photos. Jesse hasn't aged a bit!
Can't wait to see what all you do in Alaska. We did 85 day trip with 60 some days in Alaska in a Class A towing an F150. What will you be towing behind the Class C? We got to all 7 Alaska National Parks and travel about every road that one could. Safe travels. Shame Jasper has had all of the fires if you were going through Jasper and Banff.
We can't wait to share all of our adventures this time! We aren't towing anything! Going to be as nimble as possible! It has been so great so far!
Being a country boy I've always said I wasn't going to go to New York, didn't loose anything there so no need going looking for it. Now you have me reconsidering my thoughts. Awesome video and glad you got to have a special birthday dinner with the Hanks for your baby girls birthday!
There are some amazing sites to see in NYC. The history is the very best for us. Definitely something to see at least once in your life in our opinion!
O.M.G!! on 9/11 I was working in Virginia Beach at a furniture store and was in the Army Reserves at Fort Story! LARK unit!
We were so close! I (Jess) was in Va Beach and then went to stay with friends in Norfolk until we knew what was happening and heard from Corey on his ship. It was so scary.
We had a 24' class C, a Winnebago Trend, that was AWESOME for vacations, but it was just too small for full-timing. Our GD 278BH is fantastic, but we miss being so nimble sometimes! It's incredible that your rig has auto level, which is something that few motorhomes that size do.
Fun and different episode with all the city stuff but you do have to see and enjoy that too. A little sad that you said you may be done with the old RV. Makes me wonder if the girls are going on to something new. Will you tow a vehicle? The truck? Enjoy
Not sure we will ever get to NYC so I loved seeing all the things you showed in these 2 episodes. Looking forward to your Alaska travels!
We are so happy to be able to share it with you! Thank you so much for joining us on this adventure!
I am late commenting late. do to life, but it was one of my fave vlogs, so exciting, and informative.. So nice to see the girls so happy and excited.. Can't wait for the Alaska series, PS.. thanks for the 911. Tour, it really moved me just as it did that sad, sad, Day!!!! 😢😢
Wow. What fun. A whole different experience. So much easier when you move frequently with a motorhome vs. a 5th wheel.
Very different, but still so fun! We are absolutely loving the ease of travel with a Class C! Can't wait to share more!
Corey, what will you guys be doing with your travel trailer once you get back from Alaska? My wife and I live in Southern California and have been married for 16 years with a 12 year old son I finally was able to get her out to the beach and camp for 3 nights she loved it. We took a travel trailer I bought from my grandpa and it's needs a lot of work which takes time and money. She mentioned to me that she would like to go more places, but the living space was a challenge for her.
Happy Birthday Cory And Many More, And I Love That Motor Home. All 4 Of You Guys Have Fun👍
In 1980 I was a CG GM! stationed on Governor's Island. My wife I was in the Tower at the observation deck!
Get some snap pads! Have a Great and Safe trip to Alaska! It is so beautiful up there!
It's really cool that your kids are really excited and supportive of the change.
As you said, we remember where we were on 9/11/2001. We were vacationing on the OBX, NC in a vacation home ocean front. We left our unit just before the attack occurred. We went to the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island that morning. We noticed a lot of workers had radios and were listening to the same broadcast. I told my husband something was going on; he brushed it off. We then went to the Aquarium; no one said a word to the quests about what was going on. As we traveled back to the Outer Banks, we noticed all the flags were at half-staff; I again told my husband something is going on. We got back to the Outer Banks just after 12 noon. We did not know what was going on until we walked into an oceanfront restaurant at Nags Head. They had a TV on and we heard the broadcasting and found out what had occurred. We never did get lunch; we could not pull ourselves away from the TV for several hours.
There actually were planes flying after the 9/11 occurrence; in fact there were planes flying at regular intervals. Since we were oceanfront; we got see our military patrolling our coastline. Our fighter jets were in the air patrolling our coastline at regular intervals. For all the uncertainty, and the feeling we were under attack for what had just occurred in New York; every time those jets flew past our rental unit, it gave us a sense of security; our military was on duty and protecting America.
That is going to be an adventure of a lifetime! Alaska her you come!!
I really enjoy all your videos,however i was born in NYC and im a retired EMT who worked the NYC Fire EMS for 26 years.I also worked per-diem for a private Hospital EMS Service.
Wow. That observatory is amazing. Such a beautiful city. I would go there just to experience that.
It was seriously spectacular! And separated from the crowds! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for taking us on your NY trip. The One World observation trip was stunning! One thing I would suggest you not doing in your new RV is, walking in it while driving. It may be tempting for making meals, etc., while moving, but it’s really not safe to do. We have a class A and I do not get up while it’s moving. We always pull over if we need to use bathroom or to eat. Think of turbulence in an airplane. 😊😳 Stay safe.
Loved the video and thanks for your service. You mentioned your experience on 9/11 and sounded like you were an OS? I was a OS1 in the Puget Sound and can confirm it was a weird sight seeing our air radar with no contacts on it.
I grew up in New York rode my bike all around Central Park been to concerts the ice skating rink and the zoo walked up and down Broadway Times Square also Burlington Coat Factory not the chain stores was a walk through which was great I have so many memories living there still have family in the boroughs all five love the traveling on the trains and buses
Seeing it in the winter time and ice skating would be pretty cool! Maybe SOMEDAY! Thanks so much for watching!
This episode just jumped into my FOS Top 10. Excellent video work Cory!
Hahahaha yessssssss! That electron blue civic si!! Everyone and their mama wanted that b16a… 😂
We have had a class C for eight years after towing a pop up for 12. You’ll quickly learn to love being able to access everything in traffic, rain, etc. Generator at the ready to kick in AC for stops, etc. Be careful, you may never go back to a tow behind. 🙂
Do you tow a car behind you?? It seems very inconvenient when you want to go to different places you need to take the RV with you instead of leaving it at the campsite
@@karenjohnson4778 We have not. On a rare occasion, we have rented a car. We have e-bikes for getting around locally if needed, and don’t stay in one place too long. (Usually a week at a time.) So we tend to restock, etc, as we go between places. That being said, we are entering longer term RVing (aka retirement) and have discussed shorter drive days (like no more than five hours) and just bringing another vehicle. We’ve not ever NEEDED another vehicle, but long term it might be convenient.
That elevator ride was amazing!
It was so beautiful to see the videos on the way up and back down! amazing!
Wow 2 month trip to Alaska, look forward to all the sights
Really looking forward to sharing them!
AWESOME!!! Looking forward to an incredible AK adventure!
excited to watch the trip ... I want a class c but the bulky ...the lineage seems sleek ... we also need to tow a 16ft cargo trailer
I am so excited for you guys ! Alaska in a new RV will be amazing ❤️
How exciting and scary at the same time. Thanks for taking us along.
We are so ready for this new adventure and to take you along with us! Thanks so much for watching!
SAME! When we went to NY, Times square was not my fav! I dont do that many peeps
Can’t wait to see your Alaska adventures.
Great video as always! We have really enjoyed watching your family (ever since your first trip to Alaska). We have been keeping a watch out for a new Lineage since we arrived in Alaska at the beginning of July. Hopefully we will run into you somewhere! We're near Soldotna currently...hint hint...😂
Thank you so much for joining us for so many years! Definitely be keeping an eye out! It is hard to miss! 😉
@@FindingOurSomeday We just now saw your response. How ironic! It was wonderful to meet you both. Your were so gracious to take the time for two strangers who interrupted your day. Thank you! We wish you safe travels while you explore God's beautiful creation!
Happy Birthday Cory! Happy traveling to Alaska!

Love the Hanks!
We do, too! ☺
happy birthday too Corey !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! It was a perfect way to celebrate!
Love your content, I'm a fan. Great video! Awesome RV! Realistically that RV is out of reach ($$$$) for most families though.
Lost a friend working as a camera man. Thought wed get married one day. Was there when allowed general public before they tore 3rd or 5th tower down. Long before memorial was built. The church was as inspiring. It was still intact exactly how pile workers were working. Never forget and ppl still continue die this day from what they breathed in.
Love the look of the new RV. Are you still keeping the trailer or is this the new home?
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experiences
I feel like the girls. Sad to see you guys pull away from the old rv but excited for your new adventures. It's home to you guys so it's like selling a house and moving out. But my big question is how will Corey be without his truck? Are you guys going to tow a vehicle?
What an incredible adventure! Thanks for sharing! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Tip from a Class C owner: Always check outside for clearance before you put the slide out! This will be an amazing trip. I will really look forward to your vlogs!
On 9/11 I was working my first school year in CT and my students parents worked in the city and we didn’t know if they would make it home. We were on precautions as not sure if it would impact CT. My dad was supposed to take a job in the trade centers but he didn’t take it.
So grateful that your dad didn't take that job. And that you were able to be there for the kids in your class. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your story about that day!
Went to NY 20 yrs ago. Central Park is a treasure.
I hope you have a fantastic trip. Enjoyed the video of New York. I have never been there.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed our trip to NYC but were super excited for Alaska!
Curious to see how the rig holds up.
I love your kids got to see so much in life for so many years. Question, how did they go to school ? I went to public school and had to go for 6 hours every day, 5 days a week. I know there are options now, but how do you do this on the road ?
