Even though both of us have been to Denver many times, it was still great to catch up with some friends and see some places we haven’t been to yet, especially before a huge cold front was to arrive! Days 96 – 99 November 6 – November 9, 2014 Miles 11160 – 11454 In Denver we…
On our way to Denver we stopped to visit the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The black canyon is a narrow steep canyon carved out by the Gunnison River. In at least one place the canyon is deeper than it is wide and almost twice the height of the empire state building. Day 95 –…
Arches National Park was so spectacular that it quickly became a competition to see who could find the most arches. Days 89 – 91 October 30 – November 1, 2014 Miles 10258 – 10539 We arrived in Moab, Utah on a Thursday evening. A quick drive through Moab was all we needed to decide that it…
San Digeo was our last stop on the West Coast which made it a little bittersweet. Luckily we had a great time with friends who went out of their way to show us the city. Days 76 – 79 October 17 – October 20, 2014 Miles 8597 – 8709 We arrived in San Diego Friday…
For us Santa Barbara was all about strolling State Street and eating. We spent some time on the beach too. Days 67 – 68 October 8 – October 9, 2014 Miles 7065 – 8135 Our destination for the night was Santa Barbara. We started out driving down State Street and really liked the area with all…
More than anything else, looking at the giant redwood trees made me feel small. It was like being shrunken and exploring a forest. Days 46 – 48 September 17 – September 19, 2014 Miles 5596 – 6425 The day started out the same as most days we have during our the trip; Jon worked…
Portland was a great stop for good food and a good break between national parks on our way down the west coast. Days 42 – 44 September 13 – September 15, 2014 Miles 5397 – 5596 Next on the map was Portland and we decided to spend 2 nights there. As usual we showed up…
Spokane was more interesting than we expected. A cute town with some nice parks and lots of walkable trendy restaurants. Days 32 – 34 September 3 – September 5, 2014 Miles 4235 – 4370 We headed out of St. Regis on route 90 to make our way towards Spokane. On the way we drove…
Our time in Cleveland started when we met my high school friend, Annie. Annie works for the Cleveland Indians and was able to give us a personal tour of Progressive Stadium when we arrived. Afterwards Annie drove us to the lakefront where we stumbled into a Mini-Copper convention but still enjoyed the lakeside view. We…
Sometimes in our quest to experience adventure, traveling to far away exotic locations feels like the only way to have new experiences. My first notion that the DC area had more to offer than we sometimes realize was in 2011 and Jon and I took several day trips around the tri-state searching for wedding venues.…
