We had a wedding ~40 minutes away from Pinnacles, so visited for a day trip to knock out another NP off our list. We got the National Parks Stamps Passport when S was born and have basically done everything on the east coast, so revel in the opportunity to get a stamp at a new…

Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina
The other day I was catching up with a friend and they asked me how our trip to Patagonia was. And I realized that I had mostly blacked it out of memory because we had SO much going on during / afterwards. Oops. But I’m catching up now! Our 24 hour travel day My last…
Whidbey Island & North Cascades
[Continued from Olympic National Park] After our drive from Portland to the Olympics which was a stretch of ~3 hours with literally no interesting sites to stop at, the rest of the trip’s drives didn’t seem so terrible since there was more to do along the way. After we checked out of our cute little…
Olympic National Park
The next portion of our PNW roadtrip was 4 days in the Olympics. We are glad we spent this much time here, as it was enough time to see everything we wanted to in the park, but minimized the amount of driving we did each day! This was a perfectly feasible itinerary to do with…
Oregon
We’ve just come back from a 2.5 week trip through the PNW. I still had leftover leave time that I had postponed since cancelling our Scotland trip, and we already had to take off a week for my sister-in-law’s wedding anyway, so we decided to extend the trip and make the most out of it….
The Berkshires
While it looks like I’m super delinquent on this post as our most recent weekend away to the Berkshires was in mid-May, I had originally made the conscious decision not to blog about the trip since it was just a weekend away. But today I was reorganizing this blog in advance of posting about our…
Maui, Hawaii
As we promised, we didn’t stop traveling once we had a baby…on the contrary, as soon as S finished her 2 month vaccines, we were on a 12 hour plane ride past the other side of the country. We booked this trip when S was around 1 month. We wanted to see how she was…
Grand Teton National Park
Ok so it’s almost the end of the year, so I will crank out the last of my blog posts from our National Parks roadtrip a few months back…FINALLY. The last few weeks have been a little crazy, as we welcomed a new puppy PANDA into our home!! He’s been pretty angelic and easy to…
Yellowstone National Park
As usual, I am delinquent on updating my blog posts – but this time there’s not a rush to crank them out before our next trip, given the pandemic! So I will slowly take my time in writing these. I’ve also been pretty lethargic recently, because I’m…[PREGNANT!] What! M and I (ok, mostly I) are…
Glacier National Park
Happy almost-fall! These last few weeks have been a strange mix of sitting, starting school again, and getting back into the routine of the life of a student. I am working part-time (15 hrs a week) as a pricing strategy consultant, which keeps my weeks busy. Otherwise, just being a student and not getting the…
