7 Day MUST SEE Road Trip - Arizona To New Jersey With My Dad

[@ryanrowe1975]

Enjoy the trip!

[@debbiemcgrail1403]

Kevin, I really enjoyed this video!! I laughed out loud when your dad made the sign of the cross when you were in Utah. What a great experience to share with your dad! Growing up in NJ and always doing beach vacations and Caribbean vacations I love this! Me, my sister, my cousin and my mom just flew to Montana and visited Yellowstone, Wyoming and South Dakota. What a special vacation it was, what a beautiful country we live in! Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful landscape, you just have to see it in person. Your video does do justice!!!! Your dad camps at the Hyatt! LOL! Tell Carolyn and Rich I said hello!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Debbie!!! That sounds like an amazing trip and we agree! We were that way in the winter to snowboard and it was amazing, we need to visit again in the summer. They said hello and hope all is well!

[@roniwerner4598]

Awesome trip and memories with your Dad ❤

[@KarenBallard-l1x]

I don't usually comment on videos, but I LOVE that you had this time with your Dad! I did a trip several years ago with my Dad taking him to an Army Reunion @ Fort Sill, Lawton, OK, and while it wasn't a cross-country road trip (we flew from VA), it was still a priceless experience and memory that I will always treasure! Kudos to you for making this happen!!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you for commenting! Sounds like an amazing trip, doesn’t have to be cross country or anything exotic just quality time is what’s it’s all about

[@timothymiller8294]

What an amazing trip with your father!! Memories forever!!

[@alisonjoannette7228]

i never comment, but this video is special, there nothing like spending a week with our parents (mom or dad or both) this is going to be a trip you guys will remember forever. Ive traveled with my mom to Romana for one week a few years back and its just a trip i always remember and be grateful for! it's not something you get to do everyday, you guys look like you had alot of fun! :)

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks for the comment Alison!! I completely agree with take advantage of every opportunity we get to travel with them!

[@queenreina1509]

Sooooo, I have been trying to watch this video but busy with the baby and I am only 4 minutes in and I LOVE YOUR DAD!!!! I miss my daddy so much!!! Can your dad be our KZbin dad lol? Ok, I am going to continue watching! lol Ok, so I finished watching the video. AnD, I am laughing crying! Many favorite parts but the end took me out!! I need your dad to come with you guys and do more videos!!! He is amazing!! So beautiful to see Wyatt love him so much and your dad's love for him too! Anyway, I could go on and on but this was AMAZING!!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it! He’s a special one! He makes a positive impression on everyone he meets!!! He will be in several videos in the fall /winter!

[@doodsanddudes]

What a trip guys. Your dad is very supportive and he shares beers with you. Cheers guys! Love that insta 360! X4 just got an update. What did you get a ticket for? Love the Breckenridge brewery, we went boarding there years ago. I don’t like onions either. Unless they are pulverized.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!! Speeding 😢 haha ahh come on onions are great!!!

[@vegout8159]

Very enjoyable, well done!

[@donmckay7663]

Great video recapping your trip. I hung out with your dad last week and he is still raving about the trip and the experience. Great idea!

[@richmath7447]

Hey Don, what do you think? If you get a chance you have to definatley do this with your kids. Had a blast last week.

[@mrhoult-qy8su]

Great video, from over the pond, it was nice to see the scenery of your country, 👍👍🫶🫶👏👏

[@tuckerandi]

Wow, started watching thinking we'd do half tonight maybe half tomorrow but we got so wrapped up in the journey before we knew it we were saying what it's done already it was an epic journey and definitely memories made that will last a lifetime. Utah scenes definitely were the highlight and I think from your video more amazing than the Grand Canyon. No onions for your Dad lol. Also that your Dad and Denny meet up worked out, to bad the camera man never caught the actual meeting lol. Might have been a give away if you were filming going in though. Of course we were missing Wyatt and Taylor all video so was good to see them at the end. Bloopers at the end definitely showed that your Dad was lost for words It was excellent guys we enjoyed it immensely.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha that’s awesome! Thank you for watching it through! It’s a bummer for missing the surprise I wish I was able to get it!!! It was a great trip and great memories.

[@alpaytatli590]

Sharing times with dad; amazing... I wish you to have more times together 🙏🏻

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you! me too!

[@RoyaVanRave]

bloopers 😂😂😂👌

[@emmawenjingliu364]

You have such a loving cool dad! It put tears in my eyes while I was watching 🫶🏼

[@jholly5747]

Wow! Your dad is the same age as my sister, we are eight years apart. I just started watching this video and I’m at the part where you go to Utah. I bet you can’t wait until you take Taylor and Wyatt on a trip like this, perhaps you will have to wait until Wyatt is a little bit older so he can remember the journey.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

100% agree!!! Can’t wait to show him everything!

[@katehutto6004]

That was beautiful! What a great trip. So cool to see you showing our country to your dad.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you! It was a blast!

[@Vancaskeys]

Amazing video! We loved every minute of it! What a special trip with your dad…and the bloopers 😂 OMG the BEST!!!! Everyone make sure you watch until the very end! You won’t regret it!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks guys!! Haha yea he’s nuts!

[@PamelaOesch]

Some of your best videos and shots! I'm crying at the beautiful memories you're making with your dad and LOL also at how much your dad hates onions! What I wouldn't give to take one more trip with my parents! ❤

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!! He’s a hoot for sure! I’m incredibly lucky to take that trip with him

[@rod8073]

The final trip with your dad! Awesome! You guys are simply amazing! I have to do that with my son. Now Back to the video! 👍❤️

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Rod! Yea it was a great time

[@collaredkeeper]

Awesome Dad! Really can tell he appreciated everything on the trip!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Agreed it was really special!

[@kimthomas652]

Epic Awesome Memorable all the things. The camera work, drone shots, music and narration were spot on. Your hard work in editing an hour long video needs to be recognized. I didn't want your adventure to end. Well done!! 👍Wishing you lots of likes and views!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you so much Kim! This one took awhile to edit but amazing memories!

[@jeffbelanger1108]

What an epic video! Thanks for doing this. We're in Canada, and I have to say driving across the States is low on our bucket list, but watching this video feels like we experienced this trip along with you. Excellent work on the editing! Actually, everything about this video was awesome! I'm going to share it to my FB feed.

[@janetking2113]

Believe me you will treasure the memories you made with your dad on this trip. Very enjoyable video.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you! I agree!

[@juicie25bt]

What a magical experience with ur dad. I lost my dad when he was only 71yrs young. I lost my best friend & this Sept 23rd he will b gone 19yrs & I still miss him every single day. I smiled through out this whole video with joy for both of u, everyday is a blessing to b alive...🚐👨‍👦🛣

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I’m sorry for your losses 😔 but happy to bring joy to you! Cherish those memories! That’s why we love what we do, making memories everyday! Thanks for watching!

[@ls-ik7bn]

Amazing adventure with your dad. I love this video with your dad more actions more adventure unlike your other videos.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!

[@iamscottmitchell]

One hour video! LFG!

[@rod8073]

That was amazing! Excellent camera work. What a way to end the van journey. You were also near my home! I live 5 miles north of downtown on lake shore drive in Lincoln park/Lakeview on Montrose Harbor!! Which is why I have to build my van at my sons here and my parents in Wisconsin. And for Chicago pizza, the top 3 are Pizzeria UNO, Lou Malnati’s, and Gino’s East! Good call on Garrett’s! Surprising your dad just brought it all home.❤️ What a great surprise! Thanks for another awesome video!! 👍

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Rod!!! We’ll have to try those deep dish in the future! Thanks for watching and the comments! 🙌🏻

[@elainavetrini712]

Hello! Great video! My partner and I have started our KZbin journey and just wanted to say the end with you dad is SOOOOO relatable 😂 🙌🏼

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha I hear ya, we used to do that too and still do sometimes!

[@LolaandPooch]

What a great trip you got to share with your dad. Years from now, you will cherish that. I know, because I am of your dad's generation and my dad is gone. My advise - cherish your parents. And don't get caught up in the need to do something big for youtube's same. Big in the heart is more powerful than a great view. Find places like where i am right now (Seven Points campground, Rayston lake), where there's electric, a lake front view with a private patio and launch area for your kayak or jetski, room for a gazebo to give the parent's some space, a swimming area right there, ten feet from the van slider... And bring you parents. Make them camp. Get one of these hight teck tents ( they're like little homes, inflatable, unbelievable) to give you a tent for promo. And then just have adventures. And fun. I spent my whole childhood summers at the ocean on LBI, I'm a water person. But now I'm discovering lakes. And they ROCK! PA is loaded with incredible gorgeous lakes!c They make for really simple and fun adventures.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you! I agree it was a great time and a great memory! I hear ya! We’re beach and bay people too, it’s tough to leave the Jersey shore!!

[@thomasmclaughlim918]

Your PoPs is rad... "no jelly, it's nice and dry!!!" Lol😂😅😂

[@heididover1687]

Awww..so good, Kevin. Heartwarming. Everyone should have an experience like this.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Agree! Thanks Heidi!

[@Itsdanniekaay]

I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching you guys are soo cool!!! 😁🫶🏼

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@tomburke1960]

Walnut Canyon National Monument Indian Ruins is just a short distance from the Grand Canyon and the rest area you were at. It is really amazing!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I believe it! The whole area is amazing!

[@ThreeZeroOne]

That surprise for your Dad was priceless 😊

[@no_worries_van]

What a great trip with your dad, wish my dad could go with me on a trip

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!! 💙💙

[@wyatt4778]

What a great video!! The music and shots are stellar!!

[@marcyfalconer1275]

FYI, Buc-ees doesn't allow 18wheelers. They aren't a truck stop. This trip was so amazing with your Dad. I'm sure this was a beautiful memory for you and your Dad. Life is so short, so keep making memories.Thank you so much for sharing. It did good for my soul.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Good to know about Buc-ees and thank you so much!!!

[@TucKay]

Awesome video…priceless memories with your Dad…& Wyatt loves his pop 💞

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you! Yes he does!

[@joshedcostanza]

Really going to miss your van travel segments. I very much enjoy the format for the road trip stops seeking the local cuisine.

[@MrTitanTopper]

Watching the vid right now…Just great. Luv your Dad! 😉🤣 Btw, was hoping yall might be coming thru Nashville. Would’ve loved to buy you boys some dinner and drinks! #RainCheck

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!! Wanted to take a route he never been before! And thank you!

[@richmath7447]

This was a dream come true trip for me, and I will be in Nashville early October, if you see me at a bar please come up and say hello and the first beer is on me.

[@MrTitanTopper]

@@richmath7447 🍻 Unfortunately will be in Italy traveling. Just recently retired early and luv your kid’s channel and especially when you make an appearance! Looked like a GREAT experience. Not exactly the same, but had a Bucket List Trip last year with my son. He surprised me. PRICELESS!

[@francesclark363]

How cool to be able to do this trip with your dad. Create those memories

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thank you!!!

[@kateofee7216]

I truely enjoyed watching Kevin and his Dad’s road trip. Your Dad is a character and should start his own channel. But on another note Kevin & Taylor continue to take these special trips/times with your parents. You don’t realize it as much at your age but these are the special times you will look back on and remember. ❤ I only wish I could just have one more day with my parents. Tomorrow isn’t promised.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

we cherish it every time and feel very blessed to have such great relationships with our parents on both sides of the family!!

[@kylekislingbury36]

Can’t wait to watch this trip!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Kyle!!!

[@mallermedia]

wonderful!

[@maggiebrattoli383]

lol. I sent you an instagram message when I was at Mathers point celebrating my birthday in March of 2022. I’m so glad you took your dad there, it’s such an amazing place, it took my breath away the first time I saw it some 30 years ago. ❤

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Right! too bad we're probably not related to him haha! It was really is amazing

[@mermaidvanvb]

I did a bit of a trip from MT back to KC area - with lots of adventures. But all Van nites!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Sounds amazing!! We need to get over to MT!

[@lee-3541]

Thanks for sharing the look back at Sedona, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah... While not Baja, they still are very special places to us... lots of great memories as well! 👍 The switchback drive along Moki Dugway was outrageous! 👍👍 Cmon' no mention of the famous and historic "Lehigh Valley Tunnel" on I476... all those exhaust fumes! Sorry, gotta give ya... 👎🤣 Buena Suerte!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Lee!! Lots of great memories. Haha how did I forget the Lehigh Valley Tunnel?! 😂

[@geezercam9070]

Speaking of beaches on the 4th, is it really true you have to pay to go to the beach in NJ?

[@richmath7447]

yes certain beaches you do

[@XevolaFernandes-hl2co]

Nice wiew❤

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks!

[@travelerlives]

Baby only want grandpa instead of daddy.

[@kylekislingbury36]

Sorry I ment to say are you guys going back to van life?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Yea eventually or another type of rig!

[@kylekislingbury36]

So do you think when Wyatt gets older you guys are gonna go back to family?

[@tommyphillips6584]

I know u can’t fly drone in national parks, but did u say that u can’t film, like with your camera or phone?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Not for commercial purposes and KZbin is considered commercial!

[@tommyphillips6584]

Also, we just did the drive from Hanksville-Moki-VotG-MV a couple months ago and is such an amazing experience.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Sounds like a great trip!

[@jonbedison]

Go to bearazona

[@akotohirosaki8868]

Did anyone get honked at while you were at Forrest Gump road?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Nope, we weren’t blocking traffic in the middle of the road, but you will get honked at if you are!

[@AndrewHammans]

Great scenery but my god 1 minute unskippable commercials every 6 minutes?? Sorry not for me. Take care

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Are you watching on a tv? That happens to us too

[@AndrewHammans]
