It's been a few months since we returned from our 17-day trip in an RV. We took some time on Thanksgiving to reflect on the trip and what we remember most. We hope you've enjoyed hearing about our trip and hope it inspires you to take one of your own. Happy trippin'!

We stopped at a lot of gas stations and rest stops on our 5,300-mile drive through the United States. William rated several of them as we made our way east. These quick ratings prove what's important at a rest stop: clean bathrooms, nice fixtures and McDonald's, apparently. Enjoy!

There are so many RV parks in the U.S. and we stayed at a mere 10 parks in our 17-day trip. In this episode, I talk a little about the drive home and then we have a discussion about what we enjoyed about the RV parks we stayed at, what makes a great RV park and which ones we liked the best. Happy trippin'!

In this episode, we stop at several places including Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C., Jamestown Settlement, Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. We'll talk about our favorite rides, hear some of the characters at the old settlements and experience some new things. Take a ride with the Isle family!

Music in this episode from William Isle and the YouTube Audio Library - Buckeye Bonzai by Vans in Japan, All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman and English Country Garden by Aaron Kenny.

A large part of our RV trip was to tour historical sites of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We stopped at places like Independence, Missouri, Nauvoo, Illinois, Kirtland, Ohio and Palmyra, New York. We learned a lot of things, took a lot of tours and saw some people we didn't expect to see. I hope you enjoy this episode!

What's it like traveling thousands of miles in an RV with 10 people? In this episode, my mom talks about preparing the RV for the trip, my son talks about a special gift from my dad and I'll go over the RV and car we're towing. We'll also hear what the kids are loving about the trip so far. 

Our giant road trip is two years in the making. My family - me, my wife Marybeth and our six kids - plus my parents are in an RV heading across the country to learn a little about my dad's history, our church's history and some U.S. history. We'll be gone for 17 days and will spend plenty of time together. In this episode, it's Day 1, which will include plenty of driving. Enjoy our little adventure! #islebetrippin

The Isle family is hopping in an RV and going cross country from Idaho to New York, south to Virginia and back. It was a trip originally scheduled for 2020 and now back on for 2021. The 10 of us - Brandon & Marybeth, our six kids ages 16 to 5 and Brandon's parents (who own the RV) - are ready to see lots of states, plenty of sites, learn some history and spend A LOT of time together. Isle Be Trippin' ... get it? because our last name is Isle...

Look for episodes over the summer of 2021!
