The last leg of our California roadtrip (which, by now feels like a lifetime ago) was a few days in Yosemite over July 4th weekend. We rented a Marriott property which was a cabin in the park, which was definitely the right move since the park is huge and would’ve taken an hour to drive…

California Roadtrip (with two toddlers!)
We’ve just returned from our big family trip of the year. Are we that kind of people now, where we only do one big family trip a year (I am not counting Florida / beach weeks, although I guess eventually that would count as a family trip)? Honestly, maybe, because as much fun as this…
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….
Montana – Wyoming – Utah Roadtrip
This is the last blogpost of 2020. When I wrote my last blogpost of the year, last year, the world looked a lot different. I was, as always, looking forward to my next big adventure (I’m glad we ended up taking it, in January to Colombia, before the world shut down in mid-March!), and awaiting…
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…
Weekend Trips from Boston, MA
Hello friends! The whole summer has come and gone, and what’s usually a time period of international trips was replaced this year by a series of cabin weekends and roadtrips, after we felt that roadtripping to various cabin houses was safe. I’ve just wrapped up my internship for the summer, which I was honestly so…
Cape Cod, MA
Well, this travel blog is mostly dead for 2020 given the COVID pandemic, but we are making do with the best we can given the circumstances. We’d planned trip to Spain last year to celebrate the end of my first year of MBA, as well as a trip to Banff to celebrate my best friend’s…
