Do you know or have you hosted this user?
I am self-employed (digital marketing) and my husband is a stay-at-home-dad. We're on an indefinite road trip with our 4 daughters and our pup!
We hope to see all 48 contiguous states and look forward to experiencing new places, meeting new people, and introducing our kids to history and geography beyond textbooks!

TheBrunsons's Pets
We have a pit bull named Penny who was born in Feb 2020. We adopted when she was 8 weeks old, and we've been very intentional about socializing her with other people and other friendly/socialized dogs.
As of March 2021, Penny is one-year-old and 70 lbs (puppy energy in a dog body).
We call her a "love tank" because she loves to give kisses, in a big way.
She's such a good girl and is good with kids (we have 4) and loves playing with other dogs.
When we're not inside the RV, we keep Penny on her leash, a lead attached to the RV, and/or within a fenced "pen" we travel with (depending on where we are) - and of course we always clean up after her.
She is not a big barker, but she will speak up if she wants attention from you or another dog, or if she gets spooked.
We always look for pet friendly sites, and certainly do not want to make anyone uncomfortable by having a big dog on their property.
That being said, if you love wide goofy dog grins and slobbery doggie kisses, you're going to love Penny!
Favorite Boondocking Locations
We've enjoyed many of the Boondocking experiences from this website - from Florida to California and Mississippi up through New Hampshire!
TheBrunsons's Hometown
We're originally from Rochester, NY - but had been living in Phoenix, AZ for 3 1/2 years before launching on our full-time RV'ing adventures in July 2019.

Friendly Family with Great Communication
This family is wonderfully accommodating. They graciously helped with property chores and asked if there was anything they could do to help. We rarely heard them on our property. It was the prefect balance of privacy and communication as needed. Definitely a great family to host and we wouldn't mind having them back anytime!

A PLEASANT, VIBRANT FAMILY!!
THEBRUNSONS have been a pleasure to HOST at SPAGHETTI'S ROOST. As my wife, Becky, and I sit out on the porch enjoying our late morning coffee, the young girls would come over with their dog, Penny, and tell us all about the day that they have planned. Fearing that they were bothering us, the parents would show up to shoe them off, only to be reassured by us that, at our ages, it was enjoyable to hear young, excited voices around the place. They have been most respectful of our privacy, our property, and are most welcome to return anytime! Becky & George

Great friendly family!
We were able to host the Brunson family from the middle of March until July! It was a great situation where we were able to provide a RV spot for them while they waited out the pandemic shutdowns. They were very helpful with putting out the trash weekly, cleaning up weeds, and picking up after their adorable and friendly dog. We really enjoyed having them here on the property. I often times forgot they were next to the house they were so quiet. I would not hesitate to recommend hosting them and welcome them to come back when it is cooler here in Arizona.

A Family on the Move!
It was a pleasure to host this boondocking family. Their daughters were very well behaved and interacted nicely with our boys. We are glad they were able to take advantage of our Central Florida location to explore the area with their kids. So wonderful and inspiring to see a family on such a learning adventure with their kids. They're welcomed back anytime!

Wonderful family
Enjoyed our short visit with this nice family.
Would gladly welcome this family back again.
Well behaved children, you might not even know they were there if you didn't see them.
Safe travels.

A Very Nice Family
We enjoyed hosting our first guests. Their four children were very quiet and well behaved.
Their one night stay was very pleasant and wished their stay had been longer for more time to get to know each other better. Especially when I learned she had written and published a children’s book.

Fantastic Family!
What an incredible family! It was a lot of fun hosting them. The kids were delightful and extremely well mannered. It was a nice change having a young family here. The laughter and squeals from the girls playing was constantly bringing a smile.
TheBrunsons were polite, conscientious, and thoughtful. They let us know what time to expect them and then they provided updates along the way.
TheBrunsons are welcome back anytime

Cool guest
At least the weather was quite cool while the Brunsens were here (30 degrees below normal). Very considerate guest and were grateful for the spot. Would welcome back at any time.

Quiet as a family of mice.
Going by the 30 minutes we did talk to them they seemed like a very nice family and we are sure we would have enjoyed their company. Unfortunately colds and bad weather kept them inside during their time here and they only emerged when it was time to leave. This was the quietest visit we have ever had. We would not mind hosting them again if they are ever back in this area again.

Fabulous Family
OMG! There just wasn't enough time. I had company when our guests came so I was busy but, we enjoy the short time we had. It was so great to hear children playing in the yard and the dog was so happy to have someone to play with. We look forward to a return trip from this wonderful family!

Great family out exploring the country
Nice polite family with a camper full of nice young girls. The kids really enjoyed the yard, swng, and kitties. The parents were really nice to talk to and told us about their journeys. Eveything went really well - we just wish we were able to see them before they left to get them to sign our guest book!

Quiet family..
These folks were so quiet we didn't know they were here! Nice, well behaved kids, a dog that's very calm, and adults that like to talk, but not too much.
This family is welcome back any time.

A great family
We had a really great time hosting this family. We barely heard a peep from them during their stay, and they were really warm and welcoming when we spoke to them. Our neighbor has even mentioned to us how great it was to meet and talk with them and their kids! We wish them luck and safe travels in their awesome journey, and would definitely welcome them back any time they're in the area.

No more problems

Dog Heaven
It was a short visit. A few mechanical issues, which are always good learning experiences for us. The kids were extremely good, they liked our dogs and the dogs were almost overcome with attention and belly rubs. They took a LONG nap after good bys and Mattie (Matilda) still goes out looking for the camper to see if they are coming back. So, we would look forward to a return visit, especially when you have more time to explore STL. And to hear of your further ventures in RVing.
