Some people jet set to warm sands, crystal clear waters, & lounge poolside for their March breaks. Us? We venture off in search of the last Blockbuster. 2 parents, 3 teenagers, and 1 RV through partially wintery west coast USA. What could go wrong?
The Journey Within
There was something about the past 14 days that left us feeling like we were starting over. We felt stronger - invigorated; like we could accomplish anything.
Not Anywhere, USA
It was a short jaunt back to the airport in Canada, and a 4-hour flight back home ahead, but my conversation with Buljinder made it go by really fast.
Snoqualmie Pass
This was it. The day I had been dreading since day two. Making our way back across Mt. Hood. This was the northern part. Apparently it was the easiest mountain highway. I would believe it when I seen it for myself.
Deadman’s Pass
Deadman's Pass | This was the longest day of RV travel we had left before our final overnight stop, but with all of the worry focused on crossing the northern end of Mt. Hood, we had not given any respect for what stood in our path on this day.
Leaving Las Vegas
Although we hardly touched on seeing all the sites of Vegas, our flight leaves in a few days and there are over 20 hours to travel to make it on time. It was the longest of our travel days, on not the greatest sleep.
Olive Garden and New York, New York
We decided to stay one more day in Vegas so we took advantage of the pool one last time, before heading back to the strip for dinner and a little adult and kids arcade fun.
The Ballagio, Caesars Palace, and the Miracle Mile
The Ballagio, Caesars Palace, and the Miracle Mile | We were finally in Vegas and we had one day to see the sites, marvel in the lights, and walk up and down too many stairs to cross the street or the strip itself. It was magical.
Palm Springs, Skull Rock, and Vegas, Baby!
It was a day full of lonely dessert, climbing rocks, and a car full of excitement as we finally arrived in Las Vegas - our last big stop before we make the long trek home.
Hot Springs, Sunburns, and a Dog Named Ranger
On our first day to relax and finally lounge poolside, we have probably never been so relaxed - albeit burnt - this entire trip.
Hot Springs Blue Skies
We were sad to bid adieu to Hollywood, but there was also a lot of anticipation in the air at the thought of finally seeing Palm Springs. No more rain and blue skies was what was in store.
