Here we are again, a brand new year. But at the moment, I'm revisiting last year and what I may have gleaned from it. 2020 was full of triumphs and pitfalls and for many Americans and people all over the world, profound loss. Colin and I spent the entire year living in our eco-trailer, exploring parts of this beautiful country we live. I thought it would be fun to look back on 2020 through pictures that I've shared and some that never made it to the posts. Pre-Covid: The inco

Yesterday, Colin and I drove the trailer up to Pismo Beach. We were on a mission to visit one of our favorite regions, the central California coast. It was a beautiful drive up with the majority being along the water. Before we set out to Pismo Beach, we spent some time in one of my southern California must-stops: Malibu. You know we’re back in Malibu when we have a cup that drips! Vegan chocolate-coco ice cream sweetened only with dates. Yummmmmmmy! Life On The Ranch Our fri

So Much Driving The heat is a proverbial cattle dog and our trailer is the herd, steadily pushing us towards the water. We have been doing our best to evade the high temperatures after melting into human-shaped puddles in Moab. Maybe it was all those years spent in the Pacific Northwest, but I am just not a hot weather person. Give me 68-72 degrees (20-22 Celsius) with sunshine and a breeze and I'm in my perfect element. This morning we are departing Show Low, AZ where we vis

If you've been following along on our journey, you'll recall last week's blog post did not go live as usual on Friday morning. An explanation was promised, and I am a woman of my word. Colin and I were ready to move on from Panguitch, UT (just outside of Bryce Canyon) and had our hearts set on making our way to Moab, where our good friends had previously owned a lovely RV Park. Due to Covid-19, Moab was completely shut down to travelers and we had been tracking when they woul

Travel back in time with me for a moment. It's a Friday night, school is out for the week and your parents agreed to let a friend sleepover. Your homework is done, and mom just hit you with the best news ever: We're going to the movies tonight. Oh, the thrill! The excitement of looking up at the screen and transporting from this world to the next. Sometimes it meant feeling seen with a relatable character, other times we were whisked off into fantasy, a whole new world to exp
