Bryce Canyon was spectacular! Such incredible structures formed by the thawing and refreezing of ice called hoodoos. The climb down into the hoodoos was much too long and steep to climb up and down for the kids so we’ll have to do that when they get older. And yes… There will be a next time. … Read More
Words cannot begin to describe the vastness and awesomeness that is the Grand Canyon. The photos we see or take simply do not do it justice. We spent a whole day on the North Rim where the weather is more temperate. There is much more green here than I expected. The weather varied quite a bit … Read More
Can’t believe we already spent three nights in Vegas! And I haven’t had a chance to edit all the photos for this post. I will update them as soon as I can. The last time I was in Vegas was 1988. I remember the newest hotel at the time was the Caesar’s Palace. Now it’s … Read More
After two nights of camping and no data, we are finally back online! We were so disappointed to miss out on Yosemite. Smoke from the Aspen fire in Sierra National Forest had drifted into the whole area and we were told we wouldn’t be able to see much even if we drove the three hours from … Read More

I wondered if Dude knew him from somewhere or if it was just some stranger checking out our overpacked truck. As I walked over, … Read More
What an incredibly busy, tiring but fun first day! After leaving an hour later than scheduled, due to underestimating the time it would take to load up the truck, we managed to make it down to Seattle to meet a good friend for lunch. In the afternoon, we had our first instalummeet and met up … Read More
Can’t believe it’s finally happening! On Instagram, we had to change our hashtag to #instalumtrip because someone hijacked our #epicroadtrip hashtag. So I’ll try to stay consistent. We’re on our way! First stop… Seattle for lunch friend and a little instameet!
Can’t believe we are leaving in three days! I am, by far, not a morning person but I am looking forward to capturing some sunrises on our trip. This was taken while we were waiting for the sun to come up one morning on Rathtrevor Beach. But it was so cloudy, we weren’t sure if … Read More
