About
Please consider this blog your invitation to travel with the Bellamy family. We ‘ll keep you updated on our daily adventures as we travel the western United States over the next several months. Dirk, Valerie and their sons Jaxon (7), Luke (5) and Levi (3) are leaving life as they know it in their home in Salem, Oregon for a season of shared discovery and adventure as a family.

I can’t wait to hear the updates Valerie… Big hugs!
I am so excited for you guys! Can’t wait to follow along on your adventure and hopefully meet up with you somewhere along the way!

I’m sooooo excited for you and your family and am absolutely blessed that you’re willing to share it with me in this way. I look forward to hearing about all your adventures and will keep you in my prayers. I’ll miss you, Val!
I’m excited for you guys. I have traveled the States through the years and have enjoyed meeting new faces & places. I have been to 48 States and still need to explore Alaska & Vermont someday. I look forward to hearing about your adventures. If you make it to Florida, I can give you some great suggestions of places to see besides amusement parks. Gators & Manatees would be on my list. Praying for you my friends.
Well I guess I won’t be seeing you at the Kroc for awhile. I am so excited for you, Dirk and the boys. If it goes well maybe Matt and I will do it with our kids. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures. All my best.
We sure do love you guys! God has some wonderful adventures in store for you as He shares the beauty of His amazing creation called planet earth. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you each mile of the way!
Hi Gang, Congratulations! You’re finally on wheels. Great family experiences create fond family memories. Jaxon and Luke are lucky to have a mommy that can teach them how to play pool and roll down a sand dune all in one day. I can’t wait to read more about the adventures that will head your way.
Jack says Hi! Oh, this weekend we are expected to get 2.6″ of rain in the Salem area. You left just in time.
Lots of hugs to you all! Cheri and Jack
Well miss wounderful I am so happy for all of you guys may this adventure bring much fun to you guys. I look forward to hearing all about everything you guys see and do. And also the day you guys get back I will be happy to see you all. please be safe and keep us posted we love you all.
Hey Friends – love the adventure. Please be careful around that 3 year old. It sounds like she could wield a great punch or sit on Levi and he would never be the same again. Emotionally he could be frightened for life:). I can almost hear the laughter from all the antics. It just makes me smile. You are loved and missed. Dirk sounds like a pistol toting, RV hauling, kid corraling nice kind of guy. An the journey continues…..
To Luke: Mrs. O’Neil asked for this blogsite so she can keep track of your travels. She really misses having you in her class, and when I tell her about your adventures, she wants to know more. So I’ll let her know how she can keep in touch, too.
Val, I met you at Ellie’s birthday party. You were talking of preparing for this trip and now you are living your dream. Today at Mom’s Pray, we prayed for your family adventure and Ellie mentioned your Blog. I asked for your address and she sent it to me.
I have read and enjoyed every word. It’s wonderful that your husband is contributing his memories as well. This will be a treasure to have for years to come and will help the boys to remember the adventure when they’re older and the memories fade.
You are a fun mom and your boys are blessed.
Oops, Ellie wasn’t there, ELISSA gave me your Blog address.
