Three nights in Bend, OR–Big Trip #4
We visited Bend in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. You can’t drive from Mount Rainier to Crater Lake and not stop in Bend! Everything you’ve read about Bend’s coolness is true. We loved it. Mountains, waterfalls, cute neighborhoods, the Deschutes River running through the city, multiple food truck pods (!), and…

It’s a huge national park, and with five entrances, planning…

Waterton Lakes National Park
We spent four days in Waterton Lakes in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We love Glacier (it might be our #2 favorite national park?), and since I was a kid I had always dreamed of visiting Banff National Park. I didn’t know about Waterton Lakes, Banff and Glacier’s middle sibling. What an…

Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4
We were in Duluth in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 We read about Duluth somewhere on a “best of” list–who knows where or when, but we throw things we read onto a master map, and when planning trips we consult the master map. So Duluth became part of Big Trip #4, connecting…

Two nights in Madison, WI–Big Trip #4
We were in Madison in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4 When planning Big Trip #4, we only gave ourselves one night in Madison, and pretty quickly regretted that decision. And then–good news!–we wanted to leave Michigan City a day early, so we ended up with two nights in Madison. It’s a fun…

Two nights in Venice, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Venice in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. From Fort Myers Beach we drove an hour and a half north to Venice, a seaside city with beaches, a canal (hence the name), and a cute little downtown strip. Venice seemed like an ok town–nice enough but didn’t grab…
