Hi! I'm Marissa, originally from Southern California. I joined the U.S. Army at 18 and proudly served for nine years. We are a military family currently stationed in Maryland, where we've lived for the past seven years. Before Maryland, we were stationed in Washington and Hawaii.

​

As a family of six, we've visited 22 of the 50 states, and we're always looking for our next adventure. Follow along as we hike, camp, and explore the DMV and beyond! If you find our blog helpful, be sure to subscribe so you never miss an adventure.

Kaliah (10) loves unicorns, dance, camping, the beach, snow, and hot cocoa. And yes—you read that right! King and Kaliah are only 11 months apart!

​

Kyla (1) loves playing with her toys, singing, running around, and playing hide-and-seek.

​

Kash (Our Littlest Explorer) is growing by the day and can't wait to experience all the adventures our family has planned.

Gerrold currently serves in the U.S. Army. He's hardworking and enjoys fitness, reading, camping, fishing, and hiking.

As for me, I love caring for my plants, photography, hiking, camping, and spending time at my favorite place in the world—the beach!
