Our first camping trip of the season was this past weekend and we went to Deception Pass, WA with friends, who enviably have their whole calendar lined up for the summer already! Our preschoolers are the same age and we agreed that bedtime is whatever, so it was a lot of fun to kind ofContinue reading “Spring is here!”

Setting the Scene
Well readers, it’s been a minute! We’ve been mostly hunkered down in our brick and mortar this winter, doing our day jobs and trying to stay safe and sane. Looking forward to being vaccinated before the end of spring and feeling that little bit of relief about traveling. As we prep for the camping seasonContinue reading “Setting the Scene”
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 2)
Joshua Tree is unlike any other US national park I’ve ever been to. We could only afford a few hours there, which, by and large is enough for a drive through, but I can’t wait to go back and do some real climbing when the kids are a little bigger. But for now, the rocksContinue reading “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 2)”
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 1)
(Happy New Year! Now that the holiday madness is over, I hope I can return to some more regular posts!) Until recently, all I knew about Joshua Tree was that it was a U2 album. And all I knew about the Palm Desert area was that it was known for its mid-century modernist architectural andContinue reading “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 1)”
Surprise! Why you trippin?
We left Sedona early for our next destination, Surprise, AZ, to make sure we could get there in time for the Seahawks football game. We were visiting some very good friends who got special clearance from their HOA for us to park in their driveway. Normally we would be able to see them a coupleContinue reading “Surprise!

Se-do-ya go offroading?
Going into Sedona, Charlie decided to Google “ORV Sedona” and found that there were tons of off-road trails. He watched a bunch of YouTube videos and found a trail he was interested in that was accessed through a residential area of Sedona. By reading forum directions and mapping street names, Charlie figured out that itContinue reading “Se-do-ya go offroading?”
Sedon’tcha
Ok, it’s been a minute. Between the elections, work, upcoming holidays and life in general, it’s been hard to keep up! Getting something down has been a challenge, but I guess done is better than perfect, so here goes. We had heard such great things about Sedona (how cute it is, how fun it is,Continue reading “Sedon’tcha”
Two Hours in Flagstaff
Two hours in Flagstaff is just a taste of historic Route 66
Overnight Over the Colorado River
Sometimes some night driving helps to make the next day go smoother. Sometimes you get to wake up to an unexpected view.
Bryce is Nice
At Bryce Canyon, we stayed at Ruby’s Inn Campground, which as dusty as it was, was a really great location for exploring the park. There is not much in Bryce Canyon City, and most of it seems to be connected to Ruby’s somehow (there is also a lodge and general store and gift store). IContinue reading “Bryce is Nice”
