    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

    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. 🐼 🐘🦏🦩😁🐢

    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!!

      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! 💚

    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
      @JimmyandNatalie  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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! 💚

    @kenttalcott8428 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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!

  • @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.

    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
      @JimmyandNatalie  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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! 💚😄

  • @donnanichols6838
    @donnanichols6838 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!!!

    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.

    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 👏

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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.
