Hey there! Welcome to Running from the Box!
We’re a fun-loving, adventure-seeking family of six (plus our sweet pup, Bailey!), traveling around North America in search of beautiful places, unforgettable experiences, and a whole lot of fun along the way.
Meet the Crew:
Mike & Jenn | We’re the parents and planners behind this wild ride, doing our best to keep things rolling smoothly (most of the time!).
Brayden, Paige, Rylie, and Kade | Our amazing kiddos bring the energy, curiosity, and plenty of laughs to our travels.
Bailey | Our furry sidekick! She’s always up for a hike, a beach day, or just a good nap in the sun.
Our Journey:
From mountain peaks to sandy beaches, quiet forests to lively cities, we’re sharing all the highs, a few hiccups, and the special family moments that make traveling together so worth it. Every stop teaches us something new, and we’re excited to bring you along for the ride.
What You'll Find Here:
We’ve packed this blog with everything we love:
🗺️ Travel tips and destination guides
🐾 Pet-friendly adventures
💡 Budget hacks for families
📸 Stories from the road
🎒 Honest, real-life gear reviews
We’re all about helping fellow families, wanderers, and pet lovers get out there and make memories—without needing a perfect plan or perfect weather.
Why We Started This Blog:
Simple: we want to show that big family + travel + dog = totally doable (and totally awesome). Whether you're hitting the road full-time or planning a weekend getaway, we’re here to inspire, support, and share what’s worked (and what hasn’t!) for us.
