We Didn't Expect This! (Driving Through the USA to the Mexico Border with a Dog)

[@85728itsmeee]

It is so nice to see travelers show that they get nervous about new things, ypu guys are the most relatable, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who gets stressed!

[@nicoleandmico]

You’re definitely not alone in feeling stressed! Thanks for following along on our journey 😊

[@jenf6717]

Evie the adventure dog!🐾

[@nicoleandmico]

We're all just here for Evie at this point, right? 😅😊😀

[@goinggoing.backback]

Glad the drive through the states went smoothly!

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you!!

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

Evie has no Idea of all the wonders she is seeing haha its so cute. Seeing the Grand Canyon is definitely on our bucket list. It sounds like Evie is made for the adventure life! Im sure the boarder crossing went amazing xx

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for always supporting us and leaving such lovely comments guys! We appreciate you :) Evie has some sad moments where we think she is missing my sister and her hubby, but she's adjusting really well. We're so excited to show her the world!

We live outside of Nashville, TN and travel with our 4 children. 2 years ago we did a 10 day road trip of the old Route 66 (I40) to the Grand Canyon and back with our 4 kids. Last year, we did a 15 day road trip from to Idaho (I90) and back (I80) visiting 11 states and Badlands, Black Forrest, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, UT Salt Flats, Rocky Mountains, and more National Parks. Did you eat at the old Brothel in Williams? When coming back north, send me a message for ideas. Our next trip will be out to southern UT and back. Because we travel with kids, we stop and sight see every 3-4 hours. It requires lots of planning on my part but is so worth it because the US has so much to offer and especially for tight budget purposes.

[@nicoleandmico]

Your trips sound amazing! At some point we will likely have to do the trip in reverse to get the car back to Canada, and then we'll definitely love some advice!

[@DLFH]

Imagine if Eveie had her own pitstop/travel passport where there's a paw print or Frisbee on a map of some kind wherever you guys stopped for her to play.

[@nicoleandmico]

Oh my gosh we should make those as merch 😂

[@sedruce]

Having done a couple road trips through Canada and the US, I think having some plan is really helpful... I look back on my route and I'm a little sad about the things I missed out on - parks I didn't go to, cities I didn't stop in, friends I didn't take the detour to meet up with. That road trip taught me that it's fantastic to be spontaneous, but having a little bit of a baseline plan (that I'm completely willing to depart from) helps me make the most of the time I spend. Excited to see the next video!

[@nicoleandmico]

You're totally right, we wish we'd had the time to plan the US road trip part of this adventure a little better. Something we learned along the way that we didn't expect was how much the dog restricted our activities camping and being in National Parks. Had we done the research on this sooner, I think we could have come up with a few cool ideas that allowed for the dog, which we missed out on this time around. The good news is at some point, we'll likely have to travel all the way back through the USA to get the car back to Canada, so maybe we'll have a good chance at a do-over!

[@ohiolongs]

Real enjoy watching your trips. Thanks!

[@nicoleandmico]

We're so glad you are enjoying the videos - thank you so much for the super thanks! We're so grateful to have people like you supporting our channel and the work we do here 😊😀

[@oliviabrown261]

Awesome road trip:) Utah was gorgeous. And the canyon was Grand:)

[@nicoleandmico]

Haha the Grand canyon really was aptly named 😅

[@elidin-tr7pj]

I love your videos.🥰 I'm always eagerly waiting for them. I am very curious about your experiences in Mexico. You are dressed so warmly in the Grand Canyon that I wondered what time of year you were there. 😍

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks so much for watching! This video was filmed a few months ago, which is why it's so chilly, I'm sure it's a bit warmer at this time of year :)

[@melindaellington7201]

We just drove from Atlanta to Nevada a few months ago, and you're right - Utah was just unreal in how beautiful it was. I'm sorry you missed Capitol Reef and Escalante Staircase - if you drive back up, I highly recommend both - they were so gorgeous! And you're right about the maps just not being helpful to dog -owners... We're finishing up a quick jaunt to South America and will be crossing the Pacific to Asia soon (gap 1-2yr) - your videos have been really helpful!

[@nicoleandmico]

your trip sounds amazing! It's so cool you've had time off for a gap year. Thank you for the advice on the spots we should hit when we return one day!

[@melindaellington7201]

@@nicoleandmico Your vlogs have been so informative (and just fun to watch), so thanks for sharing your journeys with us!

[@DavoodIB]

Nice vlog❤️❤️. Please come again to india. I like your diwali vidio that my favourite 👍👍👍👍

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for watching!

[@kathleentanner2031]

Evie Cam. ? Heh😂

[@veetour]

Beautiful scenery at the national parks. Well worth the stop! I wonder if you were able to stop in Sedona since it looked like it was on your way south? I love the amount of work with the different camera views and aerial views. Hope to follow your travels south into warmer weather!

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for watching! We didn't get Sedona in, but we'll add it to the list to see if we can fit it when we go back through the states at some point

[@suzyqfaves4736]

Aw man, I can’t believe you guys skipped Zion National park. I grew up in Utah, the most place in the US and Zion is my favorite by far. So majestic. Love your videos!

[@nicoleandmico]

Oh man we can’t wait to visit one day!!! It was a shame to skip it this time around, we were really looking forward to it! Next time, we know to plan it out more to make sure we can camp with Evie ☺️

10/10 on the thumbnail

[@nicoleandmico]

Haha thanks!

[@booklover555]

Try driving on the state and county highways/roadways vs expressways then you'd travel through small towns and find mom/pop style diners with better prices.

[@nicoleandmico]

That sounds so lovely! I suppose it takes longer that way, but if we had more time we would love to explore the smaller, mom and pop type shops that rural USA has on offer

[@SalvadorjrDumalaon]

Guys im waiting for your second honeymoon........ joke 🤣 im still waiting for your new generation 😊

[@nicoleandmico]

A second honeymoon sounds great!!

[@cj9667]

Utah is gorgeous….Hwy 89 did you stop in Sedona? The dreaded border crossing…be careful driving in Mexico..go the speed limit and don’t keep all of your money in ONE place ie your wallet. Have a great time…but really be cautious. This adventure is a bit unsettling…getting from point a to b….just being honest.

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for the support! We will keep being careful and are excited to show the beauty of Mexico and Central America in the coming videos 😊

[@Bitcoin_Gold]

Just fyi Mexico just elected First Woman & Jewish President.

[@lyndalozner6706]

Love your videos but please be extra careful driving in Mexico. NO sleeping in your car on the side of the road. Leave nothing valuable in sight. Lynda
