After California we visited my Aunt and Uncle, their 3 girls, 2 dogs and 2 cats in Los Alamos. Always great to see the family and to see the girls growing up! Los Alamos is such an interesting town. We drove into Los Alamos from Albuquerque along Highway 4 through Valles Caldera, an active volcano […]

A couple words on California and Europe…
For the past month we’ve been focused on enjoying California, visiting friends and family in Germany, celebrating a friend’s wedding in Sweden and enjoying Budapest with friends at the Sziget music festival. We’ve been stormed off Mount Whitney (the highest peak in the continental US), drank boots of beer with great friends in San Francisco, […]
Driving through the High Desert
After celebrating the world cup in Jackson, WY, we started heading south towards Salt Lake City. As we came down in elevation, temperatures reached 95+ degrees again, too hot for any serious outdoor activity. After a stop by the Orem Mercedes dealer for some spares, and a quick walk in Provo Canyon, we decided to […]
Wyoming.
We spent the last week in and around Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We had been to Jackson a few months prior to ski and test out the van, so we were looking forward to seeing it during the summer months vs the winter. Our first order of business when we pulled in was to change our […]
Friendly and cool travelers!
Thank you for leaving this note! It made us so happy to see that there’s such a fun and friendly community of travelers/adventures/sprinter owners!
Idaho…So hot right now
It’s seriously so hot here in Idaho. Both awesomeness wise and temperature. To be honest, it would be too hot for me if it wasn’t such an awesome state. Which I will get to but for now, lets rewind to Washington. Coming in from eastern Washington, we stopped in Winthrop, WA for a sweet mountain […]
The Upper Left USA
THANK YOU, MAX and ERIC! We spent the last week in the Upper Left (the PNW) with Nikki’s two younger brothers. The area around Seattle is truly amazing, with plenty of beautiful places to hike and explore. We had obviously seen many photo’s of the PNW and how green it an be, but didn’t realize that […]
Seattle and Van upgrades
We spent the last weekend at our friend’s wedding in LA. Congratulations Meesh and Bryan, we love you and couldn’t be happier for you two! It was also great to see the Balderdashers. I get more and more grateful for the wonderful girlfriends I have in my life! We’re now back in Seattle to spend […]
Upstate New York and the Adirondacks
Fun Fact: Adirondack State Park is the largest state park in the US! It’s bigger than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Park combined. We got to the Adirondack Loj late Friday night, Jakob made some great pasta with olives (thanks Natalie!) and we called it a night. We had been planning to spend […]
Let the road trip begin!
We officially moved into the van and hit the road this morning! It’s very rewarding to see the van come together so well after so much effort has been put into researching, designing and building the conversion. The process has definitely taught us a lot but with certainty, there is plenty more that we’ll learn […]
