Over the past two+ years we have had 7 travel homes and learned a lot about the geography of the west coast. Each place has suprised us and made us realize how much more we have to learn about the diversity of the United States. This week we decided to dive into exactly where we…
We Are Back!
Happy New Year!! We are starting off the year with a resolution to get back to our weekly blog posts! Clearly we have been slacking…. But we are back and ready to share more adventures. Overall we have been laying low over the last few months for the obvious COVID reasons, but we have been…
What On Earth Have We Been Doing?!
We are finally feeling a bit more settled in our new home in the west bay… and we managed to settle ourselves right out of consistent blog posts. Whoops! Just to recap: We are both working in home health, which is a welcome change from skilled nursing facilities. Our work weeks are busy which can…
Its Our 2 Year Travelversery!
This week marks 2 years since we started our first travel assignment in October 2018! Woohoo! In the past year we have moved 4 times, driven 5,800+ miles just between our homes, been on 4+ different health insurance plans, and navigated the travel world post COVID. Although it is not what we expected we are…
Mount Tamalpais State Park
This past weekend Erin and I ventured north to Marin county. For those unfamiliar with the bay area it essentially goes like this: there is a large oval bay with mountains on the east and west sides. The mouth of the bay is approximately 2/3rd of the way up, looking at a map. The west…
Road Trip to California!
After sneaking in one last hike up at Mt Rainier, we realized we only had 1 day left in Aberdeen before we needed to leave!! We managed to get everything packed up in time, but we didn’t pre-pack our cars the night before this time as we usually would. This was mainly due to us…

Between constantly moving, changing work environments, struggling to have good health insurance, and now COVID, there are a lot of factors that can be overwhelming. This year has been particularly…
Volcanos and Starfish: Our Weekend at Mount St Helens and Ruby Beach
This past weekend we were itching to get outside since the wildfire smoke was moving out of the state. Although we lived in Tucson during the bighorn fire this summer, the recent smoke from the wildfires was like nothing we have experienced before. We were grateful to have a clear day to hike! We decided…
Setting Foot on an ACTIVE Volcano – Mount Rainier
This past weekend Erin and I drove up to Mount Rainier National Park. The park is about 3 hours away from where we live in Aberdeen. The drive wasn’t too monotonous since the scenery was amazing almost the entire way. Erin and I both agreed that at some parts it almost is a little reminiscent…
Olympic National Park – Can we go back yet ?!?
Hello from Washington! It’s been a few weeks since we left Arizona and we are on to our next adventure. To put it simply, the start of our new job has not exactly gone smoothly, but we are surging forward. This week we wanted to share our favorite part of our AZ to WA road…
