Previously on traveling table.
Every pastry takes three days to make...
we're having some issues with our tire here
Coming up on today's episode.
Sure smells sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain
I think there's an issue with our hose.
We're gonna go on an adventure.
the van's all packed we're ready to go
today we're headed out of our hometown of nashville tennessee
there's so much anticipation there's so much excitement
There's so much fear about taking a road trip with two small children.
today we are headed west towards arkansas.
this is the point in the drive, it's very new very fresh
we're very excited
we're dancing we're making karaoke style videos
our patience cup is still full
Kids are doing great.
We're doing something we're getting out of our comfort zone out of our four walls
Experiencing the thing that we love most to eat.
In our journey out west we're stopping overnight in Little Rock, AR.
We found ourselves in a historic neighborhood called hillcrest.
it's really quaint it's artsy so there's a lot of small businesses that we just want
to go and support
one of them is hill station
the building used to be a garage
now has been completely transformed
something i really love is when businesses take old buildings and just restore them and
give them new life
it's got a great outdoor space
country backyard vibe combines rural feel with city taste
So we had burgers and chicken fingers and their french fries were really good.
Crispy thin French fries
Say no more
bless it
one thing you'll know about us is we do like our french fries
we love a solid crispy thin french fry
We even convinced Wilder to try a pickle spear.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
no rejects the pickle
Something that we recommend with little kids is being able to find restaurants that have
areas that we can run around areas that our kids can just kind of be free and not locked
in especially when you're coming from a van trying to get our kids locked into a seat
or a high chair is just not going to happen after we ate at hill station we were able
to walk around a little bit
You're watching your brother.
I love how Dash wants to take care of wilder make sure that
he's safe you're watching your brother
Dash is no match for Wilder, Wilder's crazy! He will run straight to the road.
Run straight into traffic if we let him so we are constantly
having to be aware where he is and at all times
One of us makes sure that somebody has eyes on Wilder.
it's like a peach cobbler bourbon caramel and then roasted i think there's an issue
with our hose every time i turn this on
good morning what do you say yeah where are we the jungle little does he know it's just
a parking lot love his imagination i didn't sleep very well um i ended up sleeping with
wilder last night but that's all right we're gonna get coffee and it's gonna do my body
good
today we're in the east village neighborhood of little rock we're visiting a coffee shop
called fidelinco with a soft-boiled egg or they bagel and locked smoked salmon monkey
bread no say it too thank you
something that we always love and appreciate is when the baristas and the servers are super
kind and excited to see us thank you
near toronto yeah oh my gosh you guys i got banana toast with creme fraiche i got avocado
toast dash
day one under our belt guys there's definitely points yesterday where we're like should we
turn around i think with the crying baby in a small band it's um yeah i was not very verbal
during our meal because all i could focus on was drinking my coffee cube sounds during
us eating
this was the the morning was the first morning we woke up and we really realized it was going
to be a challenge you know the idea of us trying to film the show on our own and also
eat manage our kids all on our own i don't know how we're gonna do this so we went back
to the van let the kids play in the van while we sat out and tried to think about all the
things we need to accomplish.
As simple as just brushing your teeth time to brush my teeth
brushing my teeth brushing my teeth gotta turn the pump on one foot in front of the
other you know this is our first kind of morning really being away this far you know we're
kind of just trying to figure out our flow just changed into the sweet wrestlemania shirt
it's my new favorite shirt of yours thank you not full outfit do you like this yeah
i'm feeling good about this vibe so you know what's nifty about this house it doesn't blow
away to keep this strap up nice and tight so we are on our way to oklahoma city and
it's a long drive through miles and miles of farmland and oil fields we have made it
to oklahoma city we stopped at a food hall we love food we love food why do we love food
halls food halls it's kind of like fine dining and mall food courts made a baby we love food
halls you know each one of us can get on what we want how are you good um could i get the
aloha bowl i got a fried taco did you like how i said it that's very aggressive
all right i got myself a little poke bowl uh i feel pretty good about this what what
an awesome place we can all get different things i'm gonna do just a touch just a little
touch a little touch of soy sauce now this is where i start to get a little nervous because
i'm being filmed and my uh my chopstick skills aren't very great ten out of ten i mean first
bite 7.5 seven five i'm happy i'm happy with the 7.5 mike's sister and her family uh live
up in nebraska we are coming to meet in oklahoma city to reunite after a year and a half
it was just so awesome seeing dash with his cousins you know he's been so far removed
from them for so long and so just then the reconnection of dash you know being able to
play with his cousins was pretty special for us to be able to see
can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain there's an issue with our
hose every time we turn this on.
Good morning from the van, i'm making breakfast in the van this morning we're staying in a
hotel the hotel that we're staying at has free breakfast but it's a lot of dairy and
mike is actually allergic to dairy like can't breathe allergic so i came out and i made
um some oatmeal eggs and toasts and pancakes then we're gonna go try and find some coffee
i don't know where that was going hey guys hi how are you
end of the earth coffee i loved the branding i loved the name i loved the pour over systems
that they were using oh it's really cool you guys seem community focused too which i just
adore what do i want which one do i want is there's one that you guys love i love like
the old-fashioned fashion cinnamon yes that's what i'll have would you be able to be lovely
and steam it for me yeah to put in my coffee sorry i'm being dramatic you're good that's
the point
i'll do a pour over please thank you awesome so excited right now so it's like an el salvador
uh like single origin and it was like vacuum sealed when it was like harvested aged so
like the flavors of it are like more pronounced it's like a peach cobbler bourbon caramel
and then roasted 10 years later so that's our one that we're doing for this month as
like a pour over or french press it's like we just like coffee done with intention and
we love coffee done with just delicious flavors and a whole lot of love and this coffee shop
had a whole lot of love that's what i was talking about we got ourselves a little cage
no children are going to be trying to run into traffic today what is what donut is this
it's an old-fashioned cinnamon old fashioned i ate most of it
no i was i was unsure if it had dairy i was thinking about you thank you poppy the coffee
is super good i like the coffee thank you for having oatmeal too
after coffee we spent hours wandering the downtown area of oklahoma city we found ourselves
walking straight into the memorial for the oklahoma city bombing this is the actual place
where before 9 11 the largest terrorist attack took place on u.s soil the outdoor memorial
is a place of quiet reflection honoring victims survivors rescuers and all who were changed
forever on april 19 1995. you walk into this place and you can't help feel peace in the
center of it all the reflecting pool what a beautiful beautiful thing that's been done
here in oklahoma city there was this tree that the following year began to grow and
now it's this humongous tree in the middle of this area and i just firmly believe that
beautiful things can come from terrible things all the things that we go through that are
terrible and difficult and traumatic there will always be light in it there will always
be something to look forward to but redemption can happen and this tree really represents
redemption only light can drive out darkness darkness cannot drive out darkness but light
can drive out darkness
uh oklahoma city is a really cool city it's full of art they've restored so much of this
town the food the people the vibe like it's just it's a really cool city on our way out
we said goodbye it was really sad to say goodbye to our family but we ended it with trying
out one of my favorite restaurants on this whole trip was in oklahoma city and it's called
planet

brunch sampler and then the cashew caesar salad we'll add too a simply strawberry smoothie

chorizo taco and a banana pancake and then we got a toast with bananas and almond butter
wow my dairy allergy hit me when i was 10 years old and i still remember the taste of
a proper caesar salad but i love going to vegan restaurants because i get to eat caesar
salad because i don't there's any dairy this

where the wind comes sweeping down the plain and the wave in wheat can sure smell sweet
when the wind comes right behind the rainoke
and watch the hawk making lazy circles in the sky we know we belong to the land and
the land we belong to is grand so when we say yeah well you're b.o.e.a we're only saying
you're doing fine oklahoma oklahoma okay
start a little high get up there get up there started a little high oh man we are having
issues we're getting ready to kind of move to the next city and guess what happens oh
man we are having issues every time i turn this on
the hose attachment for our sink broke okay cool well well that's an adventure
yeah i guess this is part of having a that man did you think it was funny
uh i think there's an issue with our hose but it wasn't springing out like that before
but yeah we got a issue with this hose
find ourselves a new hose while we're on the road and we're realizing that it's not going
to be as easy as just going to a store and getting a new hose i'm in lowe's i'm hopeful
i'll be able to find something here so i'm just praying to god man i just need to we
need to figure this out because we need everything working to continue this trip at least looks
like this connection is broken it should be i've never seen one like that okay because
usually they're just a regular type i mean that's a quick connection got it okay no luck
at lowe's
option
probably to find something online how do you order things when you live in a van and you
don't know where you're gonna be next
coming up on this season of traveling
our phones are not working we had no idea where we're gonna go
i found this little cafe oh my goodness you're the sweetest i need a shower and a toilet
that's luscious our children are not in great spirits do we fly home i'm just feeling like
we made a big mistake
