I recently planned a 5 day trip through Oregon and Washington and while we had plenty of fun I think 7 days would have been ideal! The following is my seven day version of the condensed one we followed. Day One: Leaving from the Bay Area, drive north to Bend, Oregon (8 hours, give or […]
It’s pretty well known that San Diego is an extremely dog friendly city, so to celebrate the end of my college career and the start of summer we decided it was time to take our English Bull Terrier, Kona, on her first vacation! Aside from a quick day trip to Yosemite this was Kona’s longest road trip […]
At long last, our final destination has been met! The idea has been tossed around for years of turning this location into the fifty-first state in America and naming it Jefferson but for now it remains (and probably always will) the state line between California and Oregon.
