This episode shows takes you through a RELAXING day in our life living in a bus with a toddler and traveling through coastal Mexico. Not all our days are like this – we have work days, laundry days, driving days, tourism days, etc. But this is definitely my favorite kind of day – relaxing and enjoying the outdoors by the beach with my family!
