We arrived in the San Francisco area about two and a half weeks ago (it feels both much longer than that, but also much less than that). In that time we have done a whole lot and a whole lot of nothing. Most of all, we have taken our time settling into our new life … More Settling in to California….
Last stop- San Francisco! We made it! We actually made it! After 21 days on the road, we finally made it to our last destination. The day, of course, wouldn’t be a true road trip day without plenty of mishaps along the way. We got up early to have our breakfast, a morning campfire (nothing … More Day 21: Eureka –> San Francisco, CA
Eureka, CA Day twenty is all about trees! More specifically, the coastal redwoods of California in Humboldt County. I had been looking forward to coming back here after seeing the redwoods for the first time years ago. Ally and I got up early to head toward the Avenue of the Giants, a thirty mile stretch … More Day Twenty
After our food-filled day in Portland, we began our 19th day of the trip with a fury of errands- one in particular that was quite disappointing and sad. Background Info: Two years ago, Meghan received a Meyer Lemon tree for her birthday. The tree was tiny at the time and ready to grow. However, winter … More Day 19: Portland –> Eureka, CA
Portland, OR We had set aside a whole day to wander about downtown. With no real plan, we parked and got to steppin’. I knew for sure that there would be coffee, food, and more food in our future. We stumbled across a cute coffee shop next to a craft store for local artists (all … More Day Eighteen
After our exciting trip to Seattle, we continued our food adventure as we headed off to Portland. Portland was one of the cities we were REALLY looking forward to and (especially around food) it was a great one. We drove straight to our hotel only to find out that check in wasn’t until 4 so … More Day 17: Seattle –> Portland, Oregon
We survived the sketchy Kurt Cobain hotel! It was, however, not the best place we’ve stayed so we did find alternative sleeping arrangements for the second night spent in Seattle. First, we spent the day exploring the city of Seattle. I would have to say that this has by far been my favorite city so … More Day 16: Seattle, WA
Moses Lake, WA >>> Seattle, WA Mt. Rainier. This was our mission of the day. (after taking some time to enjoy the local field of wind turbines) Ally had been once when she was younger and couldn’t wait to go back, I can absolutely see why. We took a wrong turn, of course, so our … More Day Fifteen
Yellowstone, WY >>> Billings, MT >>> Moses Lake, WA DRIVING, DRIVING, and more DRIVING Hello, all! After our relaxing stint in the Grand Tetons, it was time to hit the road again. Two looonnnnng days of driving (and not much else). Our first destination was Yellowstone. Since we hadn’t camped out in that park, we … More Days Thirteen and Fourteen
After our wild adventure the day before, Meghan and I were ready for a more relaxed day in Grand Teton. We woke up super early (due to the freezing cold) and started driving back to the park. About 5 minutes into the journey, a very large deer or elk (tough to say because it was … More Days 11 and 12: Grand Teton National Park
