7,000 Miles to Financial Freedom: The Ark Encounter

What does financial freedom really look like? For our family of six, it meant packing up our van and embarking on a 7,000-mile road trip across America to find out. In this first episode of our cross-country adventure, we kick things off in Williamstown, Kentucky, at the Ark Encounter! This massive, life-sized recreation of Noah's Ark was an unforgettable experience. We explored the three decks of exhibits, encountered animatronic animals (including dinosaurs!), and even visited the Ararat Ridge Zoo where we saw some incredibly unique creatures. Join us as we share our honest review of the Ark Encounter, our tips for visiting with a family, and what it was like to experience this incredible structure. Plus, we'll give you a sneak peek at our favorite moments, including the kangaroos at the zoo! This trip is about more than just sightseeing. It's about challenging our definition of freedom, living intentionally, and finding joy in the simple moments. In this video: Our 7,000-mile cross-country road trip begins!
