You know you’ve been driving too long when out of your peripheral vision, you think your mother is putting on a dentist’s bib in the passenger’s seat. You know, the blue ones with the chain and alligator clips. This is actually what I thought I saw. My reaction? “Oh, are you getting ready to floss?” … More Stop #22: Las Vegas, Nevada

Even though we left Yellowstone later than we wanted to, we made pretty good time getting to Sequoia. I had no idea what we were in for… If you haven’t gathered from the photos, the camper is kind of hard to miss. However, upon arriving, the ranger at the front gate didn’t say anything. So … More Stop #21: Sequoia National Forest

Were you thinking that things had been going too well for a couple of days? Yeah…that came to a pretty abrupt stop when we arrived in Yosemite. The drive was pretty long, but I thought we could fit in parts of Yosemite National Park the day we arrived. So I jumped out of the Jeep … More Stop #20: Yosemite National Park

Luna doesn’t sleep well in new places which in turn means that I don’t sleep well in new places. This actually seems to be worse in houses than the camper, thankfully. However, this means that for the last three nights she didn’t sleep well since we slept in Tracy two nights and in San Francisco … More Stop #19: Carmel & Big Sur, California

In between my nights in Tracy at my cousin, Jenny’s house, I spent a great 27 hours with some friends. After dropping my sister at the airport on Friday, I headed to my friend, Lindsey’s, place in Oakland. She is getting married in a few short weeks so I was very grateful that she allowed me … More Stop #17: San Francisco, California

After leaving Round 2 at the Airstream dealer/service place, we made our way Southeast to my cousin’s new house in Tracy, CA. Again, the change in landscape as you travel across a state is crazy to me. From the Bay area traveling East, you travel from an Oceanside landscape to dessert. It’s nuts. However, in … More Stop #16 & 18: Tracy, California

Petaluma is in Sonoma County, and pretty conveniently located for visits to Napa and Sonoma. But first, we needed to visit the ever exciting Airstream parts store in Fairfield, CA. It was about an hour from our campsite past Napa and Sonoma and 9am is too early to start drinking wine (at least on most days) … More Stop #15: Petaluma, CA

From Lincoln City, Oregon, we drove down to Crescent City, CA which is near part of the Redwood National Forest. The drive was long and we made a few stops including the Sea Lion caves in Florence, Oregon. Unfortunately, this was another stop that wouldn’t allow Luna to partake in the main attraction so Jackie … More Stop #14: Crescent City, CA

Some of you might be thinking, “Wow…this trip seems to be going awfully smoothly, especially for Katie. She never has this kind of luck.” Funny, I was thinking the same thing until I hit a wall…literally. That’s right, I hit an actual wall, with the airstream. Best part of it, I didn’t even notice when … More Stop #13: Lincoln City, Oregon

We made it to the West Coast!! And wow…I had no idea how much I would like Western WA. It’s amazing how much the state changes as you drive from East to West. The drive from Ellensburg to Seattle was only about 107 miles, which only took about 2 hours. I wasn’t a huge fan … More Stop #12: Seattle, WA
