I have been on the east coast for 5 days now – first stopping in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for a work conference & on-site meet and greet with a Vendor. And sure, Pennsylvania is already weird enough (Amish people & the insane amount of ‘Democrats for Trump’ lawn signs), but it was strange to…… Continue reading Virginia is for lovers
Oops, we accidentally passed through Arizona
Friday was our last full day in Utah so we decided to check out Park City. The drive was an easy hour outside of Riverton and we reached historic Main Street before most of the other tourists. Park City was quaint and very dog-friendly. Blue received treats and love at almost every shop we went…… Continue reading Oops, we accidentally passed through Arizona
Location: Middle of nowhere
Yesterday (Wednesday) we had to check out of our AirBnb by 10am, so we packed up the car and headed from Boise to Riverton, Utah. It was an uneventful drive and David was getting tired of seeing the same landscape over and over again. So we stopped quite a few times to top off the…… Continue reading Location: Middle of nowhere
“I prefer humor.”
Monday, our first full day in Boise, was spent sleeping in, walking to a nearby neighborhood park and enjoying the amazing weather we found in Idaho. Hot, but not the sweltering heat. More like hot with a side of chill in the air – yes, fall is coming. You can smell it in the air…… Continue reading “I prefer humor.”
Boise bound with Blue
We left Fresno on Saturday morning for Klamath Falls, Oregon & reached our lake view Airbnb around 5p that evening. But not without a stop in Weed, CA, and yes, we got matching t-shirts. We tried to eat at a steak/oyster place in Klamath but it was hovering around 50 degrees and the “dog-friendly patio”…… Continue reading Boise bound with Blue
“We’re roughing it, we only have 1 bathroom”
“It’s a right, up there.” As David makes the turn, I cry out, “uh, it was a left.” He only responds “Amy,” shaking his head. And then I wonder, can a road trip kill a marriage??! This is an epic road trip of firsts. First time road-tripping with our dog, Blue Ferrigno. First time road-tripping…… Continue reading “We’re roughing it, we only have 1 bathroom”
“It’s a third world state” -Mike
Yesterday (Friday) was our last chance to head to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where, you guessed it, volcanoes, craters, lava rocks and such are to be found. You also guessed correctly, if you read previous blog entries, that this was another 2 hours drive from Kona. Now where you might get penalized in points (for…… Continue reading “It’s a third world state” -Mike
It’s off-season, even for bathrooms
I’m a few days out from real-time blogging but the sun and movement around the island is EXHAUSTING! We’re staying in the Kona area, about 20 mins from the airport and 2 hours from the other side of the island (Hilo) or the non-active volcanoes. On Wednesday, we decided to drive the 2 hours to…… Continue reading It’s off-season, even for bathrooms
Getting lost is all part of the adventure
Kona is very well known for its production of flavor-forward coffees. I don’t actually know that’s true, but you hear about Kona and coffee so much that we decided to do a coffee roasting farm tour. On the recommendation of the bartender from yesterday, we went to Hōlualoa Kona Coffee Co. It was a bit…… Continue reading Getting lost is all part of the adventure
“Lizards, I’m here…”
Mahalo! David and I have taken a honeymoon exercise to Big Island, Hawaii. Or Hilo. And or Kona. We flew out the Sunday before Labor Day for 6 nights on the Big Island. And to get here involved a layover in Honolulu – which is the chillest airport ever! There was even access to an…… Continue reading “Lizards, I’m here…”
