WE'RE GOING HOME (after living 2 years on the road) | van life vlog

[@kearnsey64]

A brother who has a full shelf of board games and cooks you dinner is an amazing brother!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

He certainly is! Brian really made us feel at home! 😄

[@MC-gp1zg]

You two are such an adorable couple your perfect for each other 😊

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Aw, thank you!! 🥰

[@AdamandAtlas]

This video made me so warm and fuzzy inside.. watching you guys trek back home, visiting the place in which you spent your first night in the bus, and visiting jimmy's brother... such happy feelings. So excited to find out what is next for you guys!! (Hope it's heading north for the summer!)

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks guys! 💚 We really appreciate y'all following our travels, and we can't wait to meet up on the road! Hopefully soon! 😉😄

[@ShellysNest]

Welcome Home! Not only was it good to see the two of you, but it was good to see Brian! Glad you had an amazing experience at the zoo! It's cool you got to see the panda before she went back to China. 🐼 🐘🦏🦩😁🐢

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Aw thanks guys! We're so glad we got to see Brian too! And the Giant Panda did not disappoint! 🐼😄

[@cindygray4533]

So sad😢 Pandas are so sweet❤ Oh! My When Brian smiled you could see Jimmy😊

[@ChristyatNepenthe]

Fellow South Carolinian here! Welcome home!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you! It feels good to be back!! 💚

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Welcome home! Are yall still SC? That was a long drive. Would love to meet up with you guys. I'm only 60 miles away lol. Have fun.

[@susanmerritt8331]

Having watched the two of you since your first video, I can honestly say how much both of you have developed your own personalities and come in to your own. so nice to see the growth your channel has become. many kudos to you, and welcome back safe and sound!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you Susan! That's so cool that you say that; we feel like we've both grown so much since we started our journey! We're super grateful for our time on the road, and are already itching to get back out and travel again! 😄 Thanks for being part of the adventure for all this time! 💚

[@hapnewsom9217]

I have made that drive from Memphis to central South Carolina (Sumter) many many times...best time was under 9 hours....My parents retired to S.C. after my dad retired from the Air Force. SC is too HOT for me too humid and too dang many gnats! I've lived there twice and am much happier in the great northwest!

[@leslyestephen7629]

I love the new look Natalie, you look more beautiful 🥰 I'm glad you two are going to see family! Whatup Jimmy! You also look handsome!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Aww thank you!! 🥰 I’m really enjoying it too, to be honest 😄 It’s been a lot of fun to hang out with family again. It really has been too long! (also, Jimmy says thank you! 😊)

[@melindamohler7066]

When I first seen the title of this video my first thought was “They are going home to plan a wedding”! 😂 if so don’t forget we want to see the wedding!

[@corysvanlife]

Dang!! You guys made some progress on your trip!! I was curious what your next adventures were going to be after we went our separate ways. It was awesome seeing Jimmys brother! I’m glad you were able to make it back to South Carolina!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks Cory!! It's been really nice getting back to our home state for the first time in a while. 😄 Thanks for helping us break up the super long drive, we can't wait for your next video to see what you've been up to! 💚

[@kenttalcott8428]

You two are living the dream! I enjoy how intuitive you both are in your approach to your traveling. Always good to have a plan but half the fun with traveling is allowing yourself the freedom to call an audible and simply be in the moment. Thanks for allowing us to share in your journey and live vicariously through your experiences on the road and in the van. Many thanks!

[@RealProVanR]

Really enjoyed this vlog. The zoo was incredible and Chef Brian's entree looked delicious.

[@johnstuart8511]

I always find it Fuzzy inside when watching your videos. "You 2 just rock my socks". Just keep on believing and staying positive. Regards with love from South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@sylviau7901]

Love that your videos are never predictable - and that happy cupcake dance!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha! What can we say, Jimmy loves a good red velvet cupcake! 😂😂

[@halasalready]

I love zoos and I don’t get to go very often. I used to live near one and my ex husband and I would go all the time. It is a great lazy day, stroll and relaxing day. I’m glad that you two spend some good quality time there. It will be a stop to remember for a long time.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

15:27 is that the "diamond painting" picture that Jimmy's Mom made for Brian??? That meal looked amazing!

[@taradanayebba4427]

We moved to SC from Massachusetts exactly a year ago. We have a van but mostly weekend trips as we’re both working full time. If you have any ideas or tips for weekend trips in the SC area let us know.

[@tammycruz8189]

That's what it's all about You're supposed to have fun guys You're not supposed to have a time limit There is no time limit You're supposed to just drive and when you get there you get there

[@Elisabeth_Hass]

Go settle down and have some babies and make more Jimmy and Natalies for future generations. God bless you two. Be well, do good.

[@JamesB02]

I agree Natalie that Atlanta's traffic is one of the worst

[@GraySpoonJeeper]

Stop and smell the roses, and see the Pandas! BTW there are several Zaxby's in the SLC area.

[@gypsyfirestorm]

I lived in Atlanta for a while, and I agree. Out of everywhere I lived in the US, Atlanta driving is the worst!!

[@vickyoakes4584]

Ohh, Home Sweet Home!

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Wow, a lot of miles. You were making me tired watching. The Memphis Zoo was cool, then you got to Atlanta Georgia and I think I told you I was stationed at Ft. Gordon in Augusta for lineman school and then to Columbus for Jump School for 2 weeks. Then on to North Carolina to the 82nd Airborne Division in 1972. Thanks for the ride and enjoy your stay with your family. As always, "Enjoy The Adventure." 🤠👍✌Oh, I forgot I went to Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta and Underground Atlanta. It's closed off now but it was cool.

[@ErnestPerez-rg2uo]

Thank you for your video of Ya Ya. I wanted to go see her but we live in San Antonio. I read she may leave by April 7th or sooner. So very unlikely we can make it out there. You happen to catch an historic cross of paths in your lives with Ya Ya. Embrace the moment.

[@michelle14749]

Nice video! I'm sure you're happy to spend time with your family. Brian's place is so nice!

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys Jimmy!!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@chhook949]

You really covered some ground in a short time is there an agenda. Nice to see Brian again pretty sure last time we saw him during the Texas Wedding Week! Have Fun seeing Friends in S/C & recharging the batteries for your next Adventure! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you!! Good memory, I think you're right about seeing Brian in Texas 😄 We're thankful to have the chance to visit family; we'll be back on the road soon enough! 💚

[@brettm1251]

Hi guys really nice video i loved the journey in pancake and guess what i,'m all caught up. I have really enjoyed your journey from the start and i look forward to what comes next. Have a nice rest guys.

[@Baxter2012]

MEMPHIS!!!! Ya'll are lucky to make it out.

[@carmenfigueroa8490]

Epic video my friends stay healthy safe and blessed ❤🙏🏾🦋🧚‍♂️

[@bryonschue8065]

Good job, much better with the upbeat music.

[@AnnettesVanTease]

Enjoy your time with family!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks Annette! We definitely will! 💚

[@edferreira5372]

Guys! This was a very cool and fun video to watch. Enjoy the family time and God bless you both!

[@ReesaReel]

whoo hoo South Carolina is my home state also i was born and raised in around Columbia area Lexington-Irmo and spent my summers in Myrtle Beach

[@samydamico9843]

What a long drive! Loved the full on excitement at the Zoo! Glad you are at “home”. Enjoy the time with family, you deserve it!!❤

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much Samy!! 😄 We always love your comments, hope you're having a good day! 💚

[@samydamico9843]

@@JimmyandNatalie and I love seeing your videos. Mondays make my week!!

[@libbyblackmon885]

Awesome video guys! Glad you got to go home to visit with us families. Loved the drone footage in Charleston.

[@lyndalabine2875]

I LOVED this video because I too am a zoo freak and this did NOT disappoint …..a lion with a paw as big my head….LOL….as you got closer and we saw the cartoon Pancake making it’s way to your home I started getting butterflies…..”if only there was someone who could take over driving” 😂😂😂…your brother is AWESOME….and he cooks!….great job guys and WELCOME HOME♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@philssmith]

Hello from a subscriber in Anderson, SC. Welcome home.

[@dani_mack]

I've been thinking about the whole time change thing. I'll be heading from the west coast back to VT in late April/early May, and not looking forward to losing an hour every couple days. I'm thinking Jimmy's body is sore from driving because the Promaster seats are not well suited for tall people. It's been one of the VERY few advantages of being as short as I am. 😄 Welcome home!!

[@sharonoldham4374]

Thanks for the Zoo tour.

[@christinejurczak4312]

Welcome back to SC ! We are full time staying in Greer for the time being (Dr. APPOINTMENTS) will be heading west mid May May

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

The Cincinnati Zoo is great to visit if you travel this way. There’s also a wonderful art museum and the Museum Center. Enjoy spending time with family and friends.

[@gwenrowe2721]

WOW I live just North of I 40.

[@donnanichols6838]

Isn't the whole point of your expedition, to travel and see the country?? So whyyy be hard on yourselves for stopping to see a zoo or whatever you want to see? I mean if you just drive straight through to whatever your end destination is, what's the point?? Might as well just stay in So. Carolina and drive around and around the block??? Right? Take time to smell the roses in this life bby's!!! To notice all of the wonder and beauty that this world has to offer and rushing through life, only serves to miss all of the good stuff!!! Thats my fifty cents worth and I'm sticking to it!!! Safe and fruitful travels, sweethearts!!!! Sending much love and big fat hugs!!! 🍃😍🤗🍃👁👁🍃🤔🤓🍃

[@richardparrott7192]

Travelling is great but stopping like you guys do and looking around is life! Well done!

[@markj10]

I’m seeing international travel (Africa) in your future! Enjoy your home state visit!

[@lifeisgoodafter60]

I worked in the THD building as well.

[@janetkoball44]

Thanks for bringing us along. You two always do so many amazing things. My old dog kind of looks like that lion and the bear together. A collar would slip right off so he wears a light weight harness when we go for a walk. I love zoos. Nice brother. See you on your next visit. From Central Oklahoma.

[@robertmaille778]

Thank goodness you guys are there to bring back that there is still good People on earth!

[@nancye2963]

Welcome back. I live in Greenville SC.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Thank you for taking us to the zoo with you!!! That was so fun! It was really fun to see all the places that you stayed in your bus, when you first started out.

[@ralphfolden3273]

When my wife and visited Memphis we spent the day at Graceland. The zoo was the better choice but we grew up singing “Stay Off My Blue Surde Shoes”😀. Great video guys 👏

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That sounds awesome! There's so much to experience in Memphis, hopefully we'll have another chance to spend more time there! 😊 Thanks for watching!! 💚

[@njbrad007]

Oof I-20 through Atlanta! 285 would have been better (not great, but better) Glad you made it home safely.

[@kathythorene5873]

Loved the zoo visit the animals are amazing. I saw the Panda Bears in Florida and San Diego, they are beautiful animals!

[@akgobears]

Couldnt have gone through Memphis without visiting Beale St....Upon retirement BB Kings on Beale St and NOLA was my retirement vacation in our new motorhome....

[@Adam_Gray]

I 💯% agree with the Flamingo smell comment as the stink overrides their beauty... in every zoo I've ever been to. Glad to see y'all so happy to be back in SC too! ❤🚐☮

[@Brian-mp2mv]

When I think of Memphis... I think "don't be on the streets after dark!" Sorry, can't help it, just speaking from experience.

[@getfreethenrv815]

So cool. I can feel you heading this way. We’re up a few mile in blythewood. Our truck is about out of the shop and we’re planning a trip out west within the next month or so. We hope your time here goes well.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That sounds like a real adventure! We're missing the West already! 😄 Happy travels, and thanks for watching! 💚

[@TheAlsadler]

You are such a neat couple 🎉. I will be interested in your plans after your home visit. 8:55

[@lisapridmore9746]

My home town and Moody is where family lives

[@rollinabode5222]

When I saw the title, all I could think about was when forest Gump said " Im tired I think I'm gonna go home"😂 y'all inspire me to get out and blow like leaf.. good luck with all your up and coming adventures

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha, we can definitely relate a bit to when Forrest said that 😂😂 We'll be on to the next adventure before we know it though! 😄💚

[@rodladd5231]

Yall are great

[@catherinethorington3452]

Jimmy and Natalie, I lived in Lason SC from 1985 - 1991. I have been back twice, 1995 and 2017. My best friend still lives there 😊

[@mscarlarn]

Such a fun fun video!! But I’m tired from all the driving!! LOL enjoy your family time. Xoxo

[@patyadon747]

So nice to reconnect with family. It's so important. Enjoy your time home.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you Pat! 😊 We love to travel, but we're also so grateful to take some time to visit family. Thanks for supporting us! 💚

[@maighreadoleary9140]

You both are amazing your home on wheels has a beautiful layout. Best of luck on your journeys.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you!! We love our little van, so we're glad to hear you like it too! 😊

[@RonInAVan]

Great video! We will be heading to Tennessee in June to visit my son, if you get to Nashville, my son doesn’t live far from there he has 6 acres you could stop by and visit him he and his fiancée are more your age and a lot of fun. Let me know if you are interested. Safe travels.

[@rockercover]

17:13 Looks good‼️

[@patti8376]

What fun you guys are having! Was that Whitewater Falls? Thanks for sharing. Bob and Pat W.

[@mielesutter4159]

I love you guys.

[@LadyEdisto]

Y’all been to the Riverbank Zoo in Columbia,SC

[@yolandaazua8919]

I see Shelly's nest in the comment. But, technically, Jimmy, did you take Natalie home? Shelly's nest is mobile. Then boom, your brother cooked you two a delicious meal. Love Tofu.

[@tamararummel2027]

Oh wow!! Little Rock is where I was born and raised! If that Wal-Mart is the one I'm thinking of, the house I lived in is just a few blocks away from there. Also, y'all drove right past my house now, on your way across AR to Memphis. I wished I'd known, would've loved to say hi in person. 😊

[@mikemanjo2458]

Yay!!! I wish y'all would do a meet-up sometime while you're home! Any plans on where you're going after spending some time at home??? Glad y'all are back this side of the Mississippi!!!! Much love from SC, Jane❤🙏 Loved the zoo stop! ❤ Natalie looked extra pretty in this one! 🐼

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks Jane! We're happy to be back home for a bit! We usually try to follow the nice weather so we might head up north next! (but that could always change! 😂) Thanks so much for the love and support! 💚😄

Thank you for sharing. Welcome home🏡

[@tamaraatkinson940]

Why the big rush to get home? You probably missed some great stuff by hurrying so much. Stay well and keep us posted.

[@thomastevis8655]

Awesome videos sorry I’m sooooo late

[@RMarie62]

I remember when I was a little girl our daddy took us to the zoo a a big lion lay on the hood of the car it was fantastic be happy be safe

[@bizzer999]

think you are confusing a Zoo with a Safari Park

[@tammycruz8189]

You're so lucky to see the pandas I love the pandas Safe travels guys always much love from your friend in Michigan Tam 💜💜ps The zoo is my favorite place It's so calming and relaxing I love it I love when I get to take the grandbabies there Enjoy guys

[@carlavision6143]

Really enjoyed your video! Hope y'all come back through Oklahoma someday.

[@sharonsmith9478]

I am in Athens Alabama you will pass me love you guys

[@janiec5185]

I just found your channel! We have the same exact van, I love your layout, making us rethink a few things! I was wondering where you got the front Windshield, driver and passenger window covers? I went through your build videos but couldn’t find it. Are they magnet? Thank you!

[@TheLvablebird]

Hola 👋 from New Mexico 🌶️😊...Thanks for sharing....Love the zoo...Is some one pressuring you to have you drive so much in a day? It's like I watch people who live in vans or bus that do you tube video s are pressured to hurry to get thru 50 states the fastest, all you get to see is road and really don't get to know the state or the people that live there. Just wondering because I love your videos and if you want to spend 2 or 3 days at a zoo you should be able to.

[@justjainc]

Have y’all thought about going through the Smokies and Appalachia?(Asheville here)
