Let's get right into Yellowstone! Like I noted in my last post, we got up EARLY so that we could hopefully beat the crowds. That worked, to an extent. National Parks are a whole different beast when it comes to tourists. Not even a pandemic can keep people away! Painted Pots Our first few stops…
Oregon/Idaho (Road Trip: Day 13-17)
There's going to be a little trend of going back and forth into Idaho. The truth is, we love it there! Idaho is an absolute hidden gem that we rarely hear about and we feel thankful to experience it before the word completely gets out. Anyways, we woke up super early to drive to the…
Idaho/Montana (Road trip: Day 11-13)
We wanted to push to get to as close to the outskirts of Glacier as we could to camp close by for an early morning hike. There were a few places that we had to detour to first though! Our first stop was a river that Scott’s aunt had recommended called Priest River in Idaho.…
Washington (Road Trip: Day 6-11)
This portion of the “road trip” wasn’t very road tripp-y either, but hey that’s not always the point. We took this time to spend it with both sides of our extended family. After picking up our van in Renton, we headed toward my Aunt’s house in Sammamish, WA. There we got to enjoy time with…
Alaska (Road Trip: Day 1-6)
Okay, so this is a part of the road trip, but we aren’t in the van. We debated a long time about driving or flying to Alaska and our final decision to fly was influenced by a few things. The drive to Alaska is about 39 hours on rough road, that was likely to destroy…
Road Trip 2020
If you’re not used to us moving a million miles an hour, you better get used to it because that’s how we have been for basically the last year and change. So we will continue that way, haha! Once we were back in Eugene, we scrambled to get the van in order in hopes that…
Denver, CO (our new residence!)
I’m not going to lie, when we pulled up to our new home I was a little taken aback. I knew it was a fixer upper, but this place was ROUGH. The carpet was terribly stretched and stinky, the interior had been trashed, the walls had holes in them, the master bedroom door had a…
Home (Eugene, OR)
As soon as we got back into town Scott and I decided to kick it into overdrive. I think I noted in earlier blogs that we were planning on road tripping the US and Canada this coming summer as our last hurrah before I go to school and Scott gets a real career. Well, while…
Hawaii (Kauai and Maui)
***We are currently on a road trip and I am using this time to catch up on some blogging*** Hoping to be all caught up in the next week or so*** We ended our trip around the world in Hawaii. It happened to be the cheapest place to fly back into the states from Australia,…
Tokyo, Japan
From Kuala Lumpur we flew to Japan and had a long layover in Tokyo before heading to Portland. Being lovers of Japan, ramen, Japanese food, and everything to do with it, we took advantage of our layover and jumped on the quickest metro to a small town outside of the airport to get some local…
