St. Louis, Denver, and back to Portland After leaving Pennsylvania, we headed west in K’s car, which we still needed to get to Denver. On the way, we planned a visit to St. Louis, Missouri. My gracious coworker V and her husband S put us up in their home for several days. V also set…
East Coast Visit Going back to the east coast was somewhat surreal to us. Since we had spent so much time making our way west, it was strange that we simply hopped on a plane and were suddenly transported into the part of the country we had left from. Well, it was all for a…
By the time this blog post airs, we’ll have hopped a flight back East to attend some weddings. We’ll be visiting K’s parents in MA, visiting my Dad who also happens to be in the area with his RV, and celebrating the wedding of friends A and B in RI as well as that of…
As we headed down the coast, we made a brief stop in Tillamook, OR, because…how could you drive by and NOT stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory?!

We knew Olympic National Park was going to be pretty interesting, so we allotted quite a bit of time for it. We started off in the Port Angeles area for several days from where we saw sites along the northern and northwestern part of the park. Port Angeles sits on the Strait of Juan de…
While visiting K’s sister in Spokane, who as K mentioned is a fantastic and deliciously inventive cook, we got a few other tasty recipes that are fast becoming staples for us. These are healthier versions of what we were previously eating. Overnight OatsThis recipe is made the night before and is immediately ready to eat…
Like everyday life, there are good and bad things, ups and downs. RV life is no different! Here are lists (one of my fortes) of some pros and cons of this lifestyle, specifically as we’ve experienced it, to give you more insight into our day to day and some things to consider if you’re thinking…
When we started this trip, we wrote down some of the goals we had for these six months. We’ve mentioned several of these before as reasons for leaving the DC area, but others are simply things we wanted to make sure we did while on the road. So how are we doing? In no particular…
