See ya Portlandia, off we go!
We spent two months in Portland, Oregon. Our travels this year have been a bit different than last year in that, we are not booking our stays too far in advance. We are allowing events help guide us through our journey this year. And although it may seem like the honeymoon stage is over, we…
We upgraded our Rig!
Since day one of us talking about hitting the road, Mike and I knew we would likely want an upgrade if we continued on the road living full time. When we got our first rig, we made sure it was affordable and comfortable but we didn’t know then, what we know now after being on…
We dodged the Storm in SD
We had originally planned to be in South Dakota for a month or longer, but with the news of our new rig being ready sooner than we thought, we were too excited and didn’t want to wait any longer! We quickly made plans to make our way to Spokane, Washington! We had no idea the…
Peaceful, South Dakota!
It’s beautiful here! I love it! We traveled from Utah into Wyoming for one night, then from Wyoming to South Dakota on a second day and made it to our home sweet home for these past couple of weeks here at Hart Ranch Camping RV Resort. It’s been a quick, quiet and cold two weeks…
Making our way to South Dakota
We have decided that we want to start making our way to South Dakota! We headed to Flagstaff and stayed at a KOA for a night and then landed at Portal RV park in Moab, Utah for a week. The drive over the weekend was long but so beautiful! I always enjoy travel days, and…
Quartzsite, AZ 2022 RV Show
Back to our first destination, Quartzsite Arizona! Last year when we first left home for our adventures, our first boon-docking location was at Roadrunner BLM camping grounds. This year we stayed right down the street from there, at La Paz Valley RV Park to enjoy all the full hookups and amenities. We went there specifically…
Quality Time in CA
Our time in California came and went so quickly. After almost a year on the road, we came back around to spend time with our families for the holidays. We arrived just in time for Thanksgiving and departed just a couple weeks into the New Year. We stayed at Canyon RV Park in Anaheim for…
Family time in San Jose, CA
As the holidays are approaching we are making our way down to Southern CA to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with Family! Our time here has been short and sweet and has made my heart so full. We are staying at Coyote Valley RV Park. Arriving into San Jose felt like home to me. As a…
Downtime in Bend, OR
Our last week in Portland Oregon was perfect. We got to see family & friends again, and ate more good food! Shane & Mimi came to end our Portland Trip with us. We only had one night with them and the following day they went to explore as we packed up and started our move…
Fall in OR and WA
We got to Oregon just a couple days before Mike started his new job. Settled down and made sure he was all ready to go. Mike’s first week of work was slow and steady, great news is he’s enjoying the culture and the people there so far! I’m so happy for him. I still had…
Why we went to Spokane, Washington
A quick two nights in Spokane, Washington before making our way to Portland for the month because we wanted to get somewhere and settle down before Mike starts his new job! We chose to stay at Spokane WA for a couple nights, not only because it was our half way point to Portland but also…
Alberta Canada
Wow! The drive from Montana up into Canada was a gorgeous drive. You feel as if you’re driving in a national park at times, then at one point you do have to drive through Kootenay NP! Travel days have always been my favorite and it keeps getting better and better. Not sure how any drive…
Last few days in Alberta Canada
We went on a rocky 4 mile hike through Grotto Canyon Trail. As we were hiking along the canyon, we saw a few groups of rock climbers either setting up or climbing their way to the tops of the canyon. We saw an area full of hoodoos in all different shapes and sizes. It just…
Kalispell, Montana
Wrapping up the last couple weeks in Montana. We got to spend a whole week with Eric, Thi and the kids. That always makes us happy seeing our niece and nephew! We definitely got some quality time in, driving around and hiking in Glacier NP for a few days. And as they left, Mike and…
A glimpse into Glacier Park & a quick getaway in Colorado
Our first couple weeks have flown by with Mom visiting for a few days and then followed by our trip back to Colorado for a concert for the weekend. Colorado trip was planned when we first left Colorado back in June, so it was a planning free weekend that made it easier for us to…
First Harvest Host Experience
We started our Saturday so laid back knowing we were not in a rush to check out. As we got up and slowly made our way into packing up and getting ready to go. Our neighbors distracted us a bit and interrupted our packing. We’ve been doing really well on moving days. Getting all the…
Charming Cody, Wyoming
We loved our time here! The first week was already so packed with fun and it only continued on from there! We spent a short but fun few evenings with Craig & Felicia, we headed back out to Yellowstone National park for a weekend, enjoyed the cute little town of Cody more during the weekdays,…
First week in Cody, Wyoming
The drive from Granby, Colorado to Cody, Wyoming was definitely the longest one that we’ve had so far. Pretty much the entire drive was a one lane narrow road. We drove for about 4 hours, then stopped half way at a truck stop, where we pulled out our slides and made our lunch in the…
Refreshing Colorado
Deep inhales and exhales… the crisp fresh Colorado air is so refreshing to breathe in. We really enjoyed our time in Colorado. There’s something so peaceful and charming here. We spent some of our favorite moments in Denver, a memorable weekend in Jefferson and a long weekend in Centennial for the Fourth. I also snuck…
Gorgeous Utah
We did not know what we were getting ourselves into before coming into Utah. We thought Sedona was beautiful, and it is…..but we had no clue that Utah would top that by so much! The drive from Arizona to Utah was so beautiful! it gave us a quick glimpse of the beauty that lies ahead!…
Goodbye, Sedona Arizona!
Can’t believe it’s already time to move! This month really has flown by with so much our family and friends visiting. We kicked off our first weekend with Eric & Naz (captured in previous blog), followed by Ashleigh & Alex. Then we had a Thai Siblings weekend and ended our month celebrating Mike’s birthday with…
Goodbye Buckeye, AZ!
Our first month has come to an end, time to reflect! Just thinking back to when we first left our little apartment, is an overwhelming thought. I miss family and friends so much! Our daily comforts have been interrupted and we’ve been taking everything day by day. So far, so good. Even with the minor…
Settling into Home
We are all moved in, but now it’s time to make it feel more like home! What makes a space more like home? For me, its the comforts of the little things around you that help make your everyday, your best day! There are minor little differences between those comforts in an apartment/house 🏠 vs…
