Returning to Our First RV Stop:

A Full-Circle Moment at Patrick Space Force Base

From Air Force to Space Force: Where Our RV Journey Began

In 2020, we pulled into Manatee Cove FamCamp at Patrick Air Force Base, full of anticipation and wonder. It was our first official stop as full-time RVers, and although we didn’t know it then, it would become the starting point of a lifestyle that shaped us deeply.

Now known as Patrick Space Force Base, this coastal military campground holds a special place in our hearts—and returning here after five years has brought everything full circle.

More Than Miles: Our Growth on the Road

Over these past five years, we’ve experienced more than scenic views and national historic landmarks.

We’ve grown closer in our❤️ relationship, stronger in our resilience, and more confident in living life on our own terms.

RV life has taught us to let go of excess, stay flexible, and lean into simplicity. The open road became our classroom, and every state brought lessons in gratitude, patience, and presence.

Clarity Through Travel: What We Want from Life

This journey helped us realize what we truly want: peace and freedom.

Peace in our daily lives and in our relationship.

Freedom to move when we want, connect with people from all walks of life, and create moments that matter.

Returning to where it all began reminded us of that desire—and how far we’ve come in aligning with it.

Making friends on the road has been high on our list of things we love about the RVNomad Life

Whether you’re at the start of your own RV adventure or just dreaming of a different way to live, we want you to know: it’s worth it. Every twist and turn, every campsite and new sunrise has been a chapter in a beautiful story we’re still writing.

Your journey might look different, but the destination—peace, freedom, connection—is always worth chasing.

Thank you to those of you have been here since day one and those of you have just started following our journey. You could spend your time elsewhere but you choose to be part of our journey and for that we say: We appreciate and thank you!

Safe travels friends,

Kirsten & Mack
