Then there's&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/pn-np\/bc\/revelstoke\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mount Revelstoke<\/a>, a paradise of subalpine meadows, just a hop from our RV door.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And who could skip&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/pn-np\/ab\/banff\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banff<\/a>, with its iconic Lake Louise and charming town vibes?

We took our own passport photos and added them to a 5&#215;7 template I found on&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/market\/passport_photo\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etsy<\/a>. We then had them printed at&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/photos3.walmart.com\/prints\/5-prints\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walmart<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our snapshots in hand, we took the 20-minute drive to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumacountyaz.gov\/government\/courts\/clerk-of-superior-court\/passports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">county clerk's office<\/a>, only to realize we'd forgotten a crucial item\u2014our birth certificates. After a quick dash home and back again, we encountered another hiccup\u2014the kids' photos were slightly off in size. Back at Walmart, we went for a quick reprint, tweaking the template to ensure perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the county clerk's 4 p.m. passport processing deadline approaching, we ended up at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/international\/passports.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post office<\/a>\u00a0to finish the process. Despite the back-and-forth and the race against time, we sorted everything out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join Our Journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We're not just sharing our story, we're inviting you to be part of it.
