The Extrordinary Brown Family Travel Adventures


We’ve been on our extraordinary Brown adventure for two weeks now!  Although I have to admit, I had my doubts it would ever happen (everything from a hole in the carpet to an alternator gone bad happened within 24 hours of our departure).  Spiritual warfare… But this trip has been in the works for over a year now.  It all started with my husband’s (at the time, crazy, wild hair) idea to take our motor home across the United States.  We were tired of the rat race, of not spending time as a family, and of desperately trying to hold on while we watched our three kiddos grow too fast.  So together with our love for travel and our need to slow down, we asked God to help us with our plan: He had to help us sell our home…and that He did!  Within 20 days of it being on the market!  Literally less than a year ago, we were living in an American dream home with an American dream job…but something was missing and here we are to find it:  in the desert of Arizona, all five of us (and two dogs) in a 1981 motorhome living off the grid…and it is EXTRAORDINARY!  Do I occasionally miss a long shower and my kitchen aid? Yes.  But being together as a family, slowing down, and watching our kids laugh and enjoy life is worth every sacrifice we’ve taken (with the help of our heavenly Father, families, and friends) to get here.  May we encourage you all to slow down and enjoy life more.  Heck, come join us!  Thank you for all your love, support, and prayers.  Peace and Love, Eric, Jenna, Addalynn, Ethan, and Abram (Sophie and Holly)
