It's been a minute since we last posted, or maybe more like a little over a year. We have a lot to catch up on so I'll try to start with at least a list of what we've been up to, and if we can keep it going, more detailed posts to follow. We spent... Continue Reading →
We started today by heading to Pinnacles National Park, which is one of the few California NPS sites we were missing. As with the first time we attempted to visit, the weather was forecast to be in the upper 90s and sunny. Unlike last time, we stuck to our plans and went anyway. We got... Continue Reading →
Our main goal today was to visit the Monterey Aquarium. Gavin has a passion for animals and learning about new animals, and he came up with a list of zoos and aquariums he wants to visit. The Monterey Aquarium is on his list. While researching the trip, Angela came across a program aimed at Gavin's... Continue Reading →
And, we're back to posting. We got distracted by a busy summer and will try to get caught up. Picking up where we left off starts with us spending a day in jail. So, we spent a day in jail.. No, really, we did. Andrew worked from the hotel before we headed to Alcatraz Island. ... Continue Reading →

Andrew stayed at the hotel to work while Angela and the kids went to the San Francisco zoo. Gavin has a love for animals, and we've been on a quest to visit as many zoos as possible. After visiting so many zoos and writing this post a couple of weeks later, Gareth says he has... Continue Reading →
Despite most of our trips being to wilderness or less inhabited areas, we do have the occasional city trips. In this case, the itinerary called for three days in San Francisco to visit a few more national park sites and give Andrew a base for a few days of remote work. We started off with...

We got up earlier than anyone wanted to for a 15hr drive and drove in the dark through the mountains. The sun quickly started to rise, and the views were beautiful. This would be the most scenic part of our day. The rest of the day would be spent driving across southern Wyoming, northern Utah,... Continue Reading →
We woke the following morning to sunny skies and a cool 50 degrees. Andrew was up early to put in a full day of work from the cabin. The remote work flexibility is great, but early morning meetings from a couple time zones behind can be a bit rough. Everyone else took advantage of a... Continue Reading →
As with every trip, plans we laid out months ago don't always make sense in the moment. Flexibility and willingness to change plans on the fly are both key in our ongoing travel success. The next leg of our trip was supposed to have us spending the night in Eastern Colorado, followed by the Denver...
