Into the Underground: Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Into the Underground: Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Mar 9, 2017

It's tricky to explain the feeling of exploring the Carlsbad Caverns. It's this odd mix: a sense of wonder, intrigue, fascination, and slight child-like hesitation. The landscape was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Sci-Fi movies may come close, but I don't know if they've ever captured the real essence of it. Regardless, this was one of those places you had to see to believe.

Hitting the Open Road: Round 2

Hitting the Open Road: Round 2
Feb 27, 2017

After spending about a month back in Buffalo around the holidays, we knew it was time to get back on the road. We were itching to see someplace new, and two main music cities were topping our list: Nashville and Memphis. Our route had us heading south, so it seemed like the perfect time to swing into these cities and take in the sounds they had to offer.

Familiar Faces and the Final Push
Feb 13, 2017

The final push of our loop home was full of friendly faces. Not because we smiled and nodded at a bunch of nice people, but because we had three visits with old and new friends set up for the coming weeks. We were looping our way back East, and three key cities happened to be along our route: Cheyenne, Denver, and Kansas City.

Touring Eastern Oregon: Showing Mom the RV Ropes
Dec 9, 2016

With the sand debacle behind us and my heart full from a trip down family memory lane, it was time to head out of Tillamook. The entire Fall season was filled with family and friends, and now was not the time to make this stop. We scooted up to Portland again for a quick weekend with my family, and while it was tough to only see them for such a short time, something really important to me was right around the corner... my mom was coming to visit!

Living the Good Life: Ten Things We're Grateful for this Thanksgiving
Nov 23, 2016

Since this is our first Thanksgiving in the rig, we thought it would be fun to make a list of the things we're most grateful for. Some are big, some are small, but all of them are meant to remind us that there is so much good in our lives. While there's plenty of things that didn't make the list, this collection highlights some of our favorites from the past four months...

From Terrifying to Tillamook

From Terrifying to Tillamook
Nov 22, 2016

We were super excited to make our way down to the Oregon coast after spending about a month in Washington. Both of us had heard how incredibly beautiful it was and were looking forward to a week in a campground right near the dunes in Pacific City. When PCH 101 finally gave us a view of the ocean, we pulled over for a quick, unenthusiastic look at the water and to snap a few photos (the Bills had just lost so spirits were pretty low). We assumed that we would have plenty of time to explore the coast and the dunes once we got to our site... we were wrong.

Best Friends and Big Forests at Olympic National Park
Nov 21, 2016

Before Cori and I moved into our tiny house on wheels together, I had spent five of the last six years living with the same person: my good friend Max.  In fact, Max introduced Cori and I to each other years ago.  Needless to say, when I told him that we’d be going on this adventure he instantly came back with “I’ll be coming to visit”.

Seattle: Old Friends And new cities
Nov 15, 2016

After leaving Mt. Rainier, it was time for us to make our way to Seattle. This was extremely exciting in a couple ways...

Number One: Flying fish, because for some reason I have always wanted to see Pike Place Market. 

Number Two (the more important one): I GOT TO SEE MY BEST FRIEND!!!

From Desert to Pacific: Our Tour Down the Columbia
Oct 26, 2016

Our original plan was to go to small park on the banks of the Columbia River, near Kennewick on the Washington side. Apparently the state of Washington had other plans for us, though, since there was a barbed wire fence blocking our path into the park. There was no real way to tell before we got there, but the park closed on September 12. Bummer, right?

Nothing Tops the Tetons
Oct 5, 2016

I don't think I could dream a more picture-perfect place than the Grand Tetons. Really, I don't. Waking up there is like waking up in the middle of a postcard, complete with breathtaking views, gorgeous sunsets, and perfectly crisp morning air. Which explains why, when we got there, we instantly decided to extend our stay and push our limited water supply as long as possible.

You better damn well believe I flung my arms out and yelled “I’m flying, Jack!” at the end of that point.⠀

Thank god no one else was around....⠀
#illneverletgo #butshedid #waytogorose #titanic Count on us to have about 1534766377366291 pictures of the landscape and then 3 of us together... Priorities. We almost didn’t take this drive and now, looking back, it may be one of my favorites. The original plan was to head towards Trollstigen, but the thought of sitting in traffic just to get to a lookout with hundreds of other people didn’t really sound like much fun. So instead, we detoured to this high peaks scenic route, and had the entire drive to ourselves. Spontaneity for the win 🙌🙌 Thoroughly obsessed with these fishscale patterned streets 🐟🐟 We really wanted to get out of the house this past weekend, so the plan was to find something close to explore. Nature View park was less than 10 minutes away, and completely silent except for one biker. I am SO. EXCITED. to have this right near the house. Nothing beats a quiet trail to escape to. Contemplating life.... and birds. Do you ever feel like pictures barely scratch the surface of how a place feels? Because that’s how I feel about this country. Fingers crossed everything goes well these next couple weeks and we finally get to close on our house 🤞🏼🤞🏼 No, it’s not one of the ones pictured here- I wish- but it's still really exciting!! That will only be the beginning, though, because this place is STRAIGHT out of the 70s. Mirrored walls, blood red carpeted bathroom, and wallpaper galore. No joke, I think some questionable deeds could have been filmed in this house...... Talk about a room with a view... Ready to take on 2019 like ✨💛🌼
