Saturday turned into an unexpected “fun-day” for us – with an unforgettable Washington Husky tailgate experience. All courtesy of some wonderful new-found Washington friends! After a rewarding day Friday on our whale watching trip, we decided to stop for a pizza on the way back home to our campsite. As always, when head out for […]

Whale Watching Tour – Marking An Item Off Our Bucket List – Day 54
Before we left for our trip we often were asked what we were looking forward to doing the most, and I have to admit, going on a whale watching tour was definitely one of those items. And on day 54, we were able to do just that. It all started just 25 miles north of […]
Seattle’s Iconic Pike Place Market – And A Bubble Gum Wall? Day 53
If there is one place we have both been looking forward to taking in during our time in the state of Washington, it was the Pike Place Market. Located on the edge of Elliot Bay in Seattle, the public market has been in existence since August, 17th of 1907. Not only is it one of […]
A Trip to Snoqualmie Falls and A Washington Flower Farm – Day 52
Today we headed to one of the Pacific Northwest’s greatest natural wonders, Snoqualmie Falls. This is the site that the Snoqualmie River plunges down 270 feet, over 10 stories higher than Niagara Falls. And at the top corner of the falls, you can see the Snoqualmie River Hydroelectric Project. The energy generated from the water […]
Starting Washington Off With A Drive Through Apple Country! Day 51
Although Mother Nature forced us to change our plans a bit again, at least it gave us the opportunity to drive through the heart of Apple Country in Washington on a beautiful sunny day! Our original plan was to leave Idaho and enter Washington on Wednesday. That of course all changed when the newest, latest […]
Filling In The State Map and Taking State Selfies – Day 50
Today we enter our 9th state and soon we will be able to add another sticker to our state map on the back of the camper. Like most of the RV’s that travel around the United States, we have purchased a Travel Camper Map. This map includes scenic decal stickers of all 50 states. You […]
The Incredible Beauty Of Idaho – The Surprise Of The Trip So Far! – Day 49
If anyone asked us at this point what the surprise of the trip would be – the answer would be the incredible beauty of Idaho, hands down! Colorado was sensational, as was Wyoming and Montana. In fact, every single state we have been through so far has had their own style of beauty all to […]
Camping For Free – Off The Grid Camping Day 48
We have talked about spending the night at various locations on our trip across the country, but some of our most memorable moments have been at locations that we were camping for free! And last night, we did just that in Riggins, Idaho. And to be quite honest, it was because we were faced with […]
The Beautiful Town Of Boise Idaho – And That’s Pronounced “BOY-SEE”! – Day 47
Boise, Idaho is without a doubt one of the prettiest cities we have had the pleasure of visiting so far on our journey. With the picturesque Sawtooth Mountain Range as a backdrop to the city below, the town is filled with life. And much like what we witnessed in Salt Lake City, everywhere you look, […]
An Amazing Amtrak Trip Planned Due To Inclement Weather – Day 46
It may sound a little odd that we have planned an amazing Amtrak trip due to inclement weather, but that is exactly what happened. When we first planned our trip around the country, we researched typical weather conditions for each state. Then based on our route to reach all 50 states in 365 days we […]
