This post has been a long time coming… like 2.5 months-long time. We arrived back in Atlanta from our USA road trip on August 22. And wow how wonderful it was to be surrounded by our family and friends again, such a treat! That is truly one of the drawbacks of travel… missing moments with … More San-Francisco & Eastbound

One of the best, if not THE BEST, last minute decision we’ve made on the trip so far was our Yosemite visit. Even though we had no chance of scoring a camping spot, got caught in daily traffic jams, and had to relocate parking spaces the first night at 1:30am (thank you state troopers); Yosemite … More YOSEMITE

The Pacific Hwy from Ragged Point to Santa Cruz is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful drives I’ve ever taken. The road winds along the cliffside for miles with gorgeous views of beaches, tucked away coves, and massive rocks jutting out of the turquoise blue water below. Every turn seemed to bring us closer to … More HWY 1: Ragged Point-Big Sur-Santa Cruz

We picked up the van on July 16th and ufff it was so good to have her back! I was surprised at how emotional I was as I hopped back in the driver’s seat and rolled her out onto the road again. Even though we really enjoyed having more space to spread out during our … More Back on the road!

We didn’t know it but Baja was exactly what we needed. After 2.5 weeks of hopping from one parking spot to the next in San Diego, we had gotten into a bit of a rut. We started this journey with the intention of letting the road take us where it will. Our prayers were simply … More Baja, California. Welcome to Mexico.

We picked up our first traveling companion in Phoenix, AZ. A young, ambitious, blonde geologist gal 😉 She had some free time before starting a new job and lucky for us she decided to spend a few days traveling! But quick rewind to our long weekend in Phoenix. A good friend of mine, Meg had … More We made it to the Pacific!!

Alright soooo it’s been awhile. Arches was the beginning of our national parks marathon. In that corner of Utah and North AZ there are so many parks to visit, sights to see! Truly a remarkable area of the country. But that was more than a month ago… crazy how time flies. Looking back at these … More Catching up! From Zion to Phoenix.

I had been looking forward to Arches since the start of this trip. When I came here a few years back with my family, I was completely taken by the spectacular rock formations that looked like something out of a ‘Mission to Mars’ film. Plus, I had forgotten what a funky-fun town Moab is so … More ARCHESSS!

This state is B-E-A-utiful. Snow-capped mountains, lush evergreens, rolling grassy meadows covered in wildflowers. Even their welcome sign is rustic and inviting. The last time I’ve driven thru Colorado I was a kid in the back of a mini-van, squabbling with my little sister over cheese as my mom tried with all her might to … More Colorado
