Well in a few hours I’ll be on a plane to Rome! I’m really looking forward to the trip and getting away for a few days. If anyone would like to email while I’m gone, you can email me at onthemove@goosedown.org. Make sure to check out my pictures after I get back.
LA to Vancouver – Day 8
Our final day began with breakfast with Chris’ friend and her friend’s at their house in Vancouver. They had quite the spread for us. When we showed up, we immediately took off down the street to go pick up some items for breakfast. It was very interesting to be able to walk to the market…
LA to Vancouver – Day 7
The morning began with a trip to find the headquarters for Microsoft. After roaming around the area for a bit, we finally found it and toured the campus. There was a brief time when we thought security was after us, but we quickly evaded them and continued driving around. From here it was off to…
LA to Vancouver – Day 6
Today we got up and made our first stop at Fort Vancouver National Park, again in Washington, not British Columbia. After seeing the fort, we headed to Seattle for a day of walking around and drinking coffee. While there isn’t a coffee shop on every corner, they do populate most corners. We walked around the…
LA to Vancouver – Day 5
Today we got an early start. This was due to the fact that we went to bed early the night before and also that temperatures were in the forties and didn’t permit us to get much sleep. We make it to Eugene were we had breakfast. After walking around the town for a bit, we…
LA to Vancouver – Day 4
Upon waking up after a night of camping, we headed to one of the many trails in the park for a hike through the forest. Again we took off on a long drive towards Crater Lake National Park. We stopped at a small town microbrewery for a pizza buffet lunch. Being that we were already…
LA to Vancouver – Day 3
Today began with us heading up to the Napa Valley. Our first stop was to see California’s Ole Faithful. While it was interesting to see a geyser like that, I don’t think it was quite worth the $7 fee. From there we went to a winery down the road called Summers. Here we tasted some…
LA to Vancouver – Day 2
We woke up a bit later than we wanted today, but we were on the road by 8am headed for San Francisco. Instead of taking the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco, as I had wanted, we took I-5. This was because of the extraordinary amount of time it would take to make it to…
LA to Vancouver – Day 1
Fearing the worst from Monday morning travelers, I got up at 4:30am this morning to get ready for my trip and get to the airport. It turned out that I had nothing to fear and was sitting around at the airport when I could have been sleeping in instead. Arriving at LAX 3 hours later,…
