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.…
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…
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,…
Penang & Langkawi, Malaysia
On Scott’s birthday we headed to Malaysia, where half of my family lives. I feel a little bad because we spent most of the day traveling from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur, with a long layover before heading to Penang. So not the most glamorous birthday for Scott, but we made up for it by eating…
Da Nang/Hoi An, Vietnam
Somewhere in the middle of the country of Vietnam resides two coastal towns, Da Nang and Hoi An, just 30 minutes or so away from each other. We spent a week at each place taking it what we could of the Vietnamese coastline. I've combined the two posts because to our surprise there wasn't much…
Saigon, Vietnam
Getting into Vietnam was a bit of a struggle. In order to have entrance to the country, you must have your Visa filed online before landing. Then you go through another set of paperwork with passport pictures that gets verified with the government and a Visa sticker is place in your passport. After you pay…
