Embark with us, The Bucket List Family, as we set sail for an extraordinary family travel adventure to the Falkland Islands, a journey that holds a special place in our hearts for more reasons than one. It's not just any trip; it's a monumental occasion where our youngest, Cali, steps onto his 7th continent before his 7th birthday. This adventure is the beginning of a thrilling three-part series that will take us from the rugged terrains of the Falklands to the icy wonders of Antarctica.
The Falkland Islands is also where Cali learned to walk! - • BABY LEARNS TO WALK WI...
From the moment we boarded the National Geographic Explorer, we were plunged into a whirlwind of excitement, laughter, and a touch of seasickness. Traveling with my family, watching my children marvel at the world around them, is an experience unlike any other. This trip was filled with unforgettable moments, from exploring the ship with Manila and Cali to sharing in their amazement at the wildlife and landscapes we encountered. One of the most surreal experiences was when we spent a night in an igloo in the Arctic. Lying there, under the never-setting sun, surrounded by the stark beauty of the ice, was a moment of pure magic that I'll treasure forever.
The Falkland Islands greeted us with its rugged beauty and an abundance of wildlife that left us in awe. Observing Caracara and Albatross up close, and sharing these moments with my family, was truly special. Yet, it's the simple things that often leave the deepest imprint on our hearts. Like finding a playground remembered from our last visit, which somehow became the highlight for my kids amid the vast wilderness. It's these moments of joy and discovery through their eyes that make every trip worth it.
Stay with us as this journey unfolds, from the windswept beauty of the Falkland Islands to the majestic icebergs of Antarctica. This adventure is more than just ticking off a new destination; it's about making memories, facing challenges together, and teaching my kids about the world's vast beauty and diversity. Subscribe to our channel for the rest of this unforgettable journey. The world is vast, and its wonders are endless. Join us as we explore, learn, and grow as a family, one continent at a time.
Check out my new book with National Geographic called Bucket List Family Travel that finally published! You can purchase it anywhere books are sold. thebucketliststudios.com/page...
Until next time, keep exploring and living your own bucket list dreams!
Garrett & Jess!

Love your videos so much! You are so inspiring x

[@AbbyS228]

After seeing the video of you guys doing the national geographic cruise it has become a bucket list item for our homeschool family. Unfortunately, as a homeschool family we have to make some sacrifices to make it happen...one of which is a second income. If we saved and saved, we may possibly be able to make it in the next 10 years. At least we can watch your video's and dream. @TheBucketListFamily

[@karenustach5655]

So many highlights in this video, so many fun and touching moments. But this vlog really showcases Dorothy’s growth. She is so articulate and love how she encourages her brothers to elaborate through her questions. Great job Dorothy

[@TheBucketListFamily]

❤️❤️❤️ growing up 😍

[@ChampMom60]

I so agree. Her long legs swimming in the water with whales or dolphins is so cool. She really does look like a mermaid!!

[@kyliestark7356]

They will be the most extraordinary adults. Kind, culturally aware and sensitive, sibling united, brave, resilient and also know how to fail , know how to encourage, know how to console. Incredible way to parent . Xxx❤

[@ShellySharesTravel]

Agree! So fun.

[@el5663]

Watching all the kids talk has been such a joy. They are all so precious. Seeing them grow up. Dorothy looks like Jessica with Garrett personality. So so adorable.

[@ShellySharesTravel]

100%

[@lynjenkins6473]

Dorothy's face when dad did his "whispering" in the hotel turnstile. Only these kids would run around Antarctica in bare feet, they are truly amazing. The amount of stuff they learn and retain is wonderful.

[@jadynroylance5166]

"If our children start rusting will you sell them too..." Had me dying!!

[@eleanormagnusson8302]

I got so emotional watching this video. I've followed your family for a couple of years now, and it's amazing to see your family grow. I'm actually crying right now. I love watching your videos. It honestly makes my day so much better. It's so warm, loving, and inspirational. You're being so real and honest about everything; it's refreshing! And a sidenote: Dorothy has grown into the most sweet and smart girl. She's so loving to her little brothers, and the way she was interviewing her siblings was so beautiful, I was starting to tear up. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your love for travel. Love, Eleanor, Sweden.

[@myshellee73]

[@CathyGreenCakes]

What a great trip, again! NGL is amazing, I did the Galapagos with them, and I think it was that ship (2014). It seems like just last week that Cali was walking with the penguins. Beautiful video, love to you all.

[@ChampMom60]

Hey Garrett, Jess, Dorothy, Manilla and Cali, I have been watching your videos every day for a while now. I decided to start from the very beginning and watch them in order. I do skip around to my favorites (Fiji Islands, Madagascar, etc.) once in awhile. You give me all kinds of inspiration!! I have a spinal cord injury so have been bed bound for awhile but have taken steps to get more mobile in the last year and hope to be able to go places when I can travel easier. Probably not the awesome, far away places but I'm hoping to make it to Oregon and California at the least. Anyway, I love you guys, love your kids who are the sweetest and kindest kids I've encountered since I started following the Crosby family many moons ago. I joined the friends and family channel the other day and I'm going to get Jess' book as soon as payday rolls around again. (I just bought a shirt the other day) Keep up the great adventures Gee family and I will be here watching. Love and my best wishes to all of you!! Jeanne from Colorado!! P.S. When is Jess going to do a book signing in Colorado??!!

[@jillearly6952]

Thanks for another great vlog. I remember Cali doing the penguin walk! ❤

[@hollyjoiner-mason3324]

You always make me smile love you guys and i remember watching the video with cali learning to walk made me cry was the cutest thing ever hope your all well thank you for this video so cool 💖

Another great video! My dad used to shear sheep here in Texas and also in New Mexico, Colorado, the Dakotas, Utah & Wyoming. Also, Dad, I like your haircut but I loved your long hair. Can't wait til you grow it out again to match your precious boys. Dorothy is a spitting image of her mom. Y'all are awesome!
