Driving through the potato state, Idaho, was worth it for the amazing beauty of Northwest Wyoming, the home of Yellowstone and Grand Teton. This was our first time finding trouble camping. Getting to Grand Teton late in the day, all campsites within the park were full. Our best hope was dispersed camping within a nationalContinue reading “COLORFUL YELLOWSTONE & THE GRANDEST GRAND TETON”

Next up on the grand tour: Portland, Oregon. We definitely had high hopes and maybe too rigid of expectations, but the city of roses (nickname #1) did not disappoint. 1.

And of course, we pulled off so KyleContinue reading “PICTURES CAN’T CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF MOAB”
AND WE’RE OFF!
The day has finally come. We packed our small lives in our moderately sized car and we set off from Philadelphia for Chicago. I’ve always found it easier to pack lightly while traveling; you’ll just be stuck carrying around those two checked bags for hours while not even wearing all those shoes you packed. However,Continue reading “AND WE’RE OFF!”
PLANNING FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY ROAD TRIP
Part I of the trip: see the United States National Parks. It might be no surprise to you that planning a month long cross-country trip is no joke.

We started with a huge list of placesContinue reading “PLANNING FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY ROAD TRIP”
