HEY Y’ALL, WELCOME!!
I’m a boy mom rolling through life, planning family adventures on her lunch break.
If you dream of family memories in Yellowstone, Alaska, or visiting all 50 states, I’m here to help you chase those dreams.
I’m a full-time pharmacist with athletic schedules to plan around, so my area of expertise is long weekend trips and visiting small-town America.
My first love was the beach, and we are still happily in love, so beach trips are my therapy.
The Back Seat View is focused on traveling with family at a slower pace, middle-class type budget, and FUN-focused itinerary.
I wrote a blog to provide years of research and vacation information to help families travel.
My favorite travel tip is to leave extra time to provide flexibility for the “Highlight” of the vacation. Travel requires flexibility for weather and sickness, so don’t overpack that trip itinerary.
I plan, plan, and then roll with the vacation, completing half the plans.
I have been travel obsessed as long as I can remember.
In the 5th grade, my teacher asked the class to develop 5 Life Goals.
Listening to everyone’s marriage, kids, and career goals, I realized my goals differed.
I debated changing to fit in but I am still working on those goals.
Y’all, where did a girl who rarely left the South come up with these Life Goals?
- See the turtles in the Galapagos Islands
- Visit all 50 States (almost)
- Spend a month in Hawaii (complete)
- Visit Europe (Italy & Paris)
- Visit Peru (to see the mountains and the ruined city)
Traveling expands my soul, mind, and heart, so I will always take that trip, which is why my husband has his own bank account.
I spend my travel time in the back seat, everyone needs more leg room than me.
While you are waiting for practice to be over, let’s plan that trip.
Thanks for stopping by, and Y’all come back!
