    Going Cruisin’

    When we set out on this adventure we already had 12 states under our belt from our unexpected road trip home from Florida. It was going to be relatively easy to get the remaining 36 continental states, it was Hawaii and Alaska that were going to be the tricky ones.…

  • Seattle

    Seattle

    We left ourselves a few days in Seattle before we would board our cruise ship to Alaska. After a pretty rough few days of a lot of puking and a lot of moving, it was really nice to be able to spread out in a four bedroom place and get…

    After our week of relaxing in Island Park Idaho waiting for the gates of Yellowstone to open, we were ready to find the coast and the ocean again. It’s a pretty significant distance from the eastern side of Idaho to the Pacific Ocean so for the first time in a…

  • West Yellowstone

    West Yellowstone

    It seemed a shame to come this close to Old Faithful and the Morning Glory basin and not actually get to see it. Especially since it was a bit of a trek to get here. I will say though – this is one of the few areas that we’ve seen…
