One Year on the Road Today we are in Kenai, AK celebrating our one year anniversary on this crazy trip across America. We've hit 30 states so far and even though we have a few
Alaska Rain, Clouds and Glaciers in Seward We knew the awesome weather in Alaska wouldn't last forever. It was cloudy and rainy for most of our stay in Seward but we didn't let that get us down.
Alaska Anchorage or Bust! Our Anchorage stop consisted of 3 days getting to Anchorage and three days actually in Anchorage. We'd heard from a number of people that the city was "big and
Alaska Juneau! We're Here! Everyone absolutely loved Juneau! Inspite of the cruise ship traffic, we had a great time whale watching, ziplining and wandering about town. The city is beautiful, the people are very
Washington A Little Playtime in Washington Olympia was our last stop in the lower 48 before jumping on the ferry for six weeks in Alaska! We wanted to be close to Seattle but not too close.
Oregon Keeping Portland Weird Portland is my kind of town! Luckily the weather was beautiful the entire 10 days we were there so Cathy was partial to it as well. The area is nice,
Oregon The Oregon Coast Rocks! We made two stops along the gorgeous Oregon coast, one in [Port Orford](That evening we celebrated ) and the other in Lincoln City. Most of the coast is pretty isolated
California Frolicking in the Giant Redwoods We spent nearly a week camping in the Giant Redwoods Forest and seldom left. The entire area is gorgeous and the weather was beautiful during our entire stay! Our goal
California No Hearts were Left in San Francisco We spent a week in San Francisco but ended up not doing much in the city. I know it's an awesome place but I work there and Cathy is not
California Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks are Amazing!! If you look at our route on the map you'll notice that Freso is a little off our beaten trail. We discussed skipping Fresno and pushing on to San Francisco
California We Love the Central Coast of California! We spent nearly two weeks around San Luis Obispo and absolutely loved the area. It was a rather relaxing time but we did have to make a couple of trips.
California Park Hopping in LA I'm not a big fan of Los Angeles but Anaheim turned out better than expected. The weather was great, there was a lot to do and the traffic wasn't as
California Our "New Home" from San Diego We left Las Vegas for San Diego without knowing how much our stay there would change our lives. We stayed on the south side of San Diego in the Mission
Nevada Viva Las Vegas!! We had a blast in Vegas! The kids had more fun than I ever expected. Kira absolutely fell in love with Vegas. For her it ranks right behind New York
Arizona The Great White Weekend at the Grand Canyon Our trip to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon was crazy! Our plan was to ski Snowbowl Arizona on Saturday and then visit the Grand Canyon Sunday before heading to Las
Arizona OMG Becky! We Love Sedona AZ! Sedona was such a great stop in our journey! Downtown is a little touristy but with the city nestled in the red mountains it's irresistible. We stayed there mainly due
Arizona "Hide & Seek" in the Tucson Desert Tucson was our short stop to "play in the desert". It was only three-ish days but we spent most of the time in nature with dirt, rocks and
New Mexico Sledding in Las Cruces, NM We were rather anxious to leave Roswell as four days was more than enough time for us. We didn't know what to expect from our next stop, Las Cruces, but
New Mexico In Search of "Little Green Men" in Roswell Unfortunately, Roswell, NM wasn't as cool as I'd envisioned it. I was hoping the streets would be lined with little green men, there's be all sorts of UFO-themed attractions and
Oklahoma Great Times with our Daughter in Ft. Sill, OK Our two week stay in Ft. Sill was simply to see our daughter Brittany, stationed there in the Army. We didn't plan on doing anything "exciting" during our
Texas YEEHAW!!! Ft. Worth, TX The Historic Stockyards in Ft. Worth was a blast! The area is only 5 square blocks or so but it was enough to keep us busy for 5 day. We'd
Movin' On Up! It's been 9 months on this crazy journey of ours and we are starting to figure out how we'd like things to work. We may be doing this for awhile.
Good food, music and beer in Austin. That's it. Austin ain't no San Antonio. Everyone talks about how great Austin is with music, nightlife, etc. but I disagree. I think if you exclude 6th St, where all the bars
Texas Christmas in Mission, TX The 3+ weeks we spent in Mission for Christmas with Grandma & Great-Grandpa flew by too fast. Most of our days involved talking, shooting guns, shopping for RVs and drinking
Corpus Christi. Meh. In retrospect I would have been perfectly fine skipping Corpus Christi, TX. I'm sorry, but It looks and feels like a rundown version of Galveston. Perhaps I'm giving it a
