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 [...]
Never Say Die!
Today we saved the Goondocks! We found a map in my dads attic, and it lead us on a wild and crazy adventure into an underground fortress filled with booty traps, “you mean booby traps” “thats what i said booby traps, God these guys,” Data. We found one eyed Willy’s ship filled with “riches” and [...]
Portlandia
Days 114 and 115 Portland is it! This place is where its at. I could easily make this place my home. We spent 2 jam packed days here. Here’s how it went down…. We pulled into Portland hungry. Parked in the trendy Pearl District Neighborhood, then stumbled upon a local hotspot, Hot Lips Pizza. It [...]
Everything is Green and Mushy
Yep, we are still at it, 113 days. Can’t stop, Won’t stop. Give me more of this Northwestern weather….not. Woke up at a Walmart this morning, cold and foggy. Very depressing. we drove back towards the coast to see America’s largest sea cave and what lie inside. The drive there is typical Oregon, green and [...]
Cradled By Giants
Last night we left SF at 3pm. We wanted to cut the 6-7 hour drive to Redwood National Park in half. For the first time we got up close and personal with Sf biggest and baddest landmark, the beautiful Golden Gate. We crossed it heading north, and didn’t take anytime to really take it in. [...]
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 [...]
MTV Cribs: William Randolph Hearst
We had a long day today. First things first, we left our suite at the Madonna after some delicious pastries and juice that were delivered to our door. Yum. Northbound we went along one of the country’s most scenic highways, route 1 California. Today we will end up taking this road all the way to [...]
Big Concrete Titties
Just outside of Death Valley, on the Nevada boarder, is the old town of Rhyolite. It was once a booming gold town in the early 20th century. Like most gold towns after the ore was expended so was the town. 20 years after its rise is was empty. A ghost town. Thats where we went [...]
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. [...]
When In Vegas
The city of sin let us in! Although we don’t like gambling, we don’t go clubbing, I don’t drink and Jillian doesn’t like prostitutes. Las Vegas really isn’t our type of city, but we had to go see it. But before we end up there, let me tell you about some roadside art we found [...]
