Days 61-64: Washington, Idaho & Montana
Day 61 (7/31/14): Anacortes, WA | Spokane, WA Time to start heading east. We began making our way over to Spokane, WA, Justin's old (short-lived) stomping grounds. Justin had lived in Spokane for a few months about 10 years ago, and since we'd be passing through, he wanted to show me around. On...
Days 53-56: Oregon (Part 4)
Day 53 (7/23/14): Portland, OR | Vancouver, WA It was still raining today, but I was feeling better and wasn’t going to let the rain get in my way. I was determined to get some donuts! For those of you who know me, you’re aware that I have a slight infatuation with donuts. Okay, okay… truth be...

Our next destination was Utah to see Arches National Park. We checked into our campground in Moab about 10 miles from Arches, dropped the trailer and...
Days 1-3: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas & Oklahoma
The past few days have been spent doing A LOT of driving. We're focused on getting to Michigan to pick up our RV and have to stay in hotels in the meantime while en route. Therefore, we're trying to get to Michigan sooner rather than later, so we don't have to live out of suitcases for too long....
