Seattle: Metronatural
I don’t even know that “metronatural” is really supposed to mean, or how it pertains to Seattle, but that’s what came up when I googled the city’s slogan. If I had to give it my own slogan it would be: Seattle: where road trips burn out. This is where we crashed and burned and officially [...]
Timeout San Francisco
The last 3 days have been a real change of pace for us and we kinda lost our road trip groove a little bit. The stationary life is sucking us in.. It’s been so nice to wake up and have a kitchen handy. Ricky cooked eggs for us two days in a row! We have [...]
Dam.
Even though we didn’t get much sleep, I woke up this morning in a good mood. How can you wake up in a penthouse suite and not be in a good mood?? But this was quickly followed by a wave of depression, when I realized it was time to pack our things and check out. [...]
Drive By Numbers
This is Ricky Saetta reporting live from LA California. Our only stop in Las Angeles will be Universal Studios. Before we left on the road my mom gifted us tickets. Thanks mom. We spent last night at a Walmart in San Clemente then, this morning headed north along I-5. I almost shit myself when I [...]
Zoology
So we woke up from a glorious night of slumber in the van and head into Mike’s house to be greeted by the irresistible sent of breakfast on the stove. Chef Mike whipped up some pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and soy chorizo.. DEE-LISH! After we scarfed that down, we said goodbye to Mike, his lovely home, [...]
More Vino, Please!
So a few weeks ago, Uncle Jim called me up and said something along the lines of, “I don’t know where you’ll be around Thanksgiving, but I’ll be in Phoenix with Mari and the girls.” I NEVER have any idea where I’ll be at any given time, so I reference my life navigator and he [...]
A Hike-Up Hiccup
Finally, the Grand Canyon. Ricky and I had a slight fear that by the time we actually reached this world wonder we would be too jaded to truly appreciate it. But honestly, even after 3 months of traveling and experiencing the most amazing natural beauty that this country has to offer, we were still blown [...]
The Last of the Arches
Today we finished up the rest of our site seeing in Arches national park. We tackled a 7 mile hike called Devil’s Garden and got to see 8 of the park’s Arches, including Landscape Arch which is one of the most famous. In 1991 a HUGE chunk of landscape arch cracked off and tumbled down [...]
Hot Slots
Today was a strenuous, but fun day. We set out for the middle of the Utah desert to check out a couple slot canyons that my fiancé found while researching the trip (I had to do it just once…). This hike was a lot different than the ones we have been doing. For starters, we [...]
Mama Needs a New Pair of Jeans
Today started off like the old days, in the beginning of the road trip. Ricky woke up and started driving while I slept in the back for another hour. As you know, we’re heading for Zion today, which is the destination that Ricky has been most excited to see. The first thing I did when [...]
