TAC- The Audacious Coddiwomplers
Embark on a journey with Jake and Whitney, a married duo traveling the country with their dog, Sandy, in an RV and camper van.

Whether it’s discovering new places or revisiting old favorites, Jake and Whitney bring a unique perspective, a sense of humor, and plenty of heart to every episode. Join us for stories, insights, and inspiration to fuel your next adventure—wherever the road may lead.

People love to ask what we're doing for trips. "Where are you going?!" "What do you think you're gonna do?!" Seriously, most of the time we have just a basic idea of a plan. Unless Whitney is determined. Then it's concrete. This was a we have no idea kind of trip. Donuts.

Meet Bill! Aka "Grumpy"! They're just a baby now but they'll grow to be a very handsome, or pretty, monkey puzzle tree. It takes about 20 years to determine the sex of a monkey puzzle tree so lookout for the gender reveal in the future! Oh, there's also ice cream, breakfast burritos, beer, and I think a smash burger somewhere in this episode too! We left no donut unturned during this trip up Hwy ...

For an episode masquerading as an Easter egg hunt, we sure did eat a lot of food! We were up to our usual gluttonous adventures in this episode. Fortunately, we had friends to help absorb some of the shenanigans for a part.
