Today we left our home in Beverly Hills to embark on a new adventure in Texas. As we began our 10 day road trip we decided to adopt two new rescue pups from @wagmorpets to bring along and bond on this journey. Their names are Windsor (blue eyed gray one) and Able. Able means breath. And we need a lot of breath right now. Rocky and Skye bonded with them right away...!!! 🤗. We will document this trip in hopes that it can bring a smile to your face during such an uncertain time in the world. With love from our family to yours, thank you for your support on this journey. ✌️ Los Angeles. ‘Twas a good run.

"Hey babe, I think we're setting some kind of record. Do you think that anybody else in the world has ever moved out of their house with their five children and decided to adopt two rescue puppies before a 10-day road trip? Do you think we're setting a precedent?" Kimberly asked her husband of 10 years in an Instagram video.

With a packed car, the family is guaranteed to never have dull moment during their trip.

Kimberly mentioned while on the podcast The Make Down that they were trading Los Angeles for a space just outside of Austin, according to Entertainment Tonight.

"I think we're in a time right now where people are wanting to ground themselves a little bit more into nature, and L.A. has been a magical place for many years for me. So much life has been lived here. I'm going to go through a process to leave. I mean, I birthed three kids in the home I'm living in. But you know, I gotta get out of the concrete jungle for a little bit," she said.

They couldn't a picked a better time to move to Texas.
