Yellowstone National Park
Another National Park already? Yep, we decided to stop in Wyoming at one of America’s most popular attractions - Yellowstone National Park. Lucky for us its not yet high season, so even on a Saturday the roads and parking lots weren’t too crazy. We took our time moving through the park,...

Yellowstone and Grand Teton
Day 60 - 6/13 - Leaving the National Forest this morning we were able to snap some photos of these unknown antelope-like animals. One very small baby animal was laying in the middle of the dirt road that we were driving out on. Brett thought it was a piece of wood, but as we drove beside it, it lifted...

Rural Montana and a Milestone
Day 59 of our road trip was an especially scenic one. Ok, so that could be said about many of the days that we’re driving around exploring this great nation of ours. But Kate and I both have a deep appreciation for Montana’s Big Sky Country. We took our time and got off the interstate and...

Idaho and Montana
Day 59 - 6/12 - The day started off with warmth. Not really warmth though, it was hot. The tent was in direct sunlight and it was heating up quickly inside. Checking the clock, it was already 6:55am, so we might as well get up we decided. We headed to the bath house for showers. That is where I spied...

Oh Canada
Day 58 - 6/11 - Our night in Canada went quite well. We slept not far from a very rapidly moving mountain river which babbled and rushed all night long. It was excellent white noise and I slept wonderfully. After packing up, we headed out for another day of driving through the Canadian Rocky Mountains!...

Baby Beluga
Vancouver, British Columbia - Day 57 - June 10th Brett and I lucked out! We happened to be visiting the Vancouver Aquarium on the 1 year birthday of a baby Beluga whale, Tiqa. We missed the birthday cake at 12 noon but didn’t mind. This in itself would have made for the perfect visit; however,...

Photo Of The Week - June 17th
Sunset on Bainbridge Island, overlooking the Puget Sound. Kate and I stayed the night at a very nice and out of the way campground on Bainbridge Island - Fay Bainbridge State Park. It’s only about 4 miles from the ferry to Seattle and the campground is literally right on the beach. We took advantage...

Veggie Dog Vendor in Vancouver
The day we spent in Vancouver was sunny and fabulous: not too warm, and not too crowded. After a few hours walking around, poking in and out of touristy shops, exchanging money and doing lots of math (1.6 kilometer for every mile), we had worked up quite an appetite. What were we going to find to eat?...

Vancouver, British Columbia
Day 57 - June 10th - We traveled North into British Columbia today. Brett wanted to prepare the car for the vigorous border search as some things were out of place - but I reassured him that it wouldn’t be a problem going into Canada. We arrived at the border crossing, handed the gentleman our...

Daily Dozen Doughnut Company in Seattle
In the heart of Seattle’s Pike Place Market is a tiny little doughnut stand - Daily Dozen Doughnut Company. Kate and I were looking for a place to stop for lunch, and looking, smelling and sampling some of the fresh fruit and produce from the vendors in the market had made us quite hungry - and...
