We loved celebrating Daddy on the road! Error happened.
June 18-23 San Francisco, John Muir NP
We drove to San Francisco and saw the Golden Gate Bridge shrouded in fog. Later we drove along the coast on Highway 1 and stopped at the beach for a bit. There were some men there who were catching crabs. They let the kids hold them, but we were all […]
June 18-23 Napa
Napa was one of the stops that I knew for sure that I wanted to prioritize. Richard and I had shot a wedding of friends there in 2006 and it was such a gorgeous area. I was pregnant at the time, so I wasn’t able to partake of the wine […]
June 12-17 Mount Shasta
As we entered California, the gas prices really became an OUCH! Especially when towing such a huge vehicle! Nevertheless, we were in for a real treat at our next destination: Mount Shasta. We were aiming for another dispersed camping location, and wow, did it deliver! Our spot was on the […]
June 5 Mount Ranier NP
It was now time to head west toward Washington State. Mt. Ranier was a quick, drive-by stop as we had several other places to hit before reservations at a campground near Napa, CA. Error happened.
June 1-4 Glacier NP
Glacier National Park in Montana was a bit of a conundrum for me. We had been chasing spring for the duration of the trip (basically, each place we went to was at the peak of spring and then we would move north or west to a new place that was […]
June 6-11 Forks, WA & Olympic NP
I was a big fan of the Twilight books when they came out–don’t judge me ;o) So, Forks, WA was on my bucket list. I wanted to go to the Twilight Museum, but Forks is a tiny town, and the museum was also tiny. They limited how many could go […]
May 29-31: Yellowstone National Park…on Memorial Day Weekend…oops.
Now we get to what would become the highlight of our trip. We all have our individual favorite parts, but I believe that we are unanimous in our love and utter awe of Yellowstone. It was definitely on our bucket list, but I always thought of it simply as “the […]
May 26-28 Jackson Hole, Grand Teton NP
After Mount Rushmore we were back on the road to travel to Wyoming. Here is a glimpse of our beautiful drive along the way… Grand Teton NP is very close to Yellowstone, and we couldn’t spend a significant amount of time at both, so we just breezed through Grand Teton. […]
May 24-26 Wall Drug, Badlands NP, Mammoth Site, Crazy Horse & Mt. Rushmore
As we drove back south toward Badlands National Park in South Dakota, we kept seeing signs for a place called “Wall Drug.” Billboard after billboard about it. It put Buc-ee’s signage to shame! (Digging further revealed that the signs stretched over 250 miles! Some say Wall Drug spends over $400K […]
