Yesterday Ian detailed the ins and outs of our whirlwind day in San Francisco. Today, some pictures to go along – our favorites from an all too short tour of a colorfully energetic city.
San Fran Slideshow

November 26th, 2012 | Posted by in The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)
After a lengthy retreat with nothing to do and nowhere to be on the Oregon Coast, our time in the San Francisco Bay Area was far too short, the list of sights far too long to possibly scratch the surface of. We have commented multiple times since our departure that we may have covered a … Read more
Driving the Pacific Coast
November 25th, 2012 | Posted by in The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)
Two weeks ago we drove down the Pacific Coast from Florence, Oregon to Eureka, California along US Highway 101 with a stop in the Redwoods on our way to San Francisco. Though Google maps recommends I-5 as the fastest route, we opted for the scenic option and headed south with large conifers towering above us … Read more

The Oregon Coast
November 14th, 2012 | Posted by in Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been | United States - (4 Comments)
Of all of the places in our sights when we began the painfully short North American portion of our adventure, we ignorantly viewed the Oregon Coast as one of the more expendable stops. It sounded great and all, but we didn’t really have a specific place in mind and time was a hot commodity. Interestingly, … Read more
A Weekend with the Mattiones
November 12th, 2012 | Posted by in Celebrations | Food | The Places We've Been | United States - (2 Comments)
First of all, that last name is just crazy fun to say. Let’s try it together. Mat-ee-oh-nees. Feels nice on the tongue, doesn’t it? Ian and I had already spent time enjoying Seattle together in 2008 and therefore elected not to commit an extended amount of days there this time through. We were, however, ecstatic … Read more
Border Crossing: USA / Canada
November 11th, 2012 | Posted by in Border Crossings | Canada | Dogs | Speedbumps | United States - (2 Comments)
We cross borders by land in a CR-V with US passports and our two dogs. We do not carry drugs or weapons or disallowed fruit (usually). These articles are not a definitive guide to crossing borders nor should they be used as a sole source of information. They are our experiences. When, Where, and Which … Read more
Yellowstone National Park – At a Glance

From Brianna: I’m going to tell you something reasonably embarrassing about myself so bear with me here as I apprise you of my ignorance. Until last Thursday, when I thought of Yellowstone National Park, the extent of my mental picture could genuinely be described as Yogi’s Jellystone Park complete with trees and park rangers and … Read more
What Are You Doing There?
October 20th, 2012 | Posted by in The Places We've Been | United States - (4 Comments)
We’ve done a lot of nothing in Montana. Many folks have asked us. “Oh, Montana? What are you doing there?” Just being. That’s all you really need to do here. Our cottage in Paradise Valley 20 minutes south of Livingston, MT is surrounded by views on all sides – golden fields of waving grasses, picturesque … Read more
Badlands National Park – At a Glance
October 18th, 2012 | Posted by in Parks | The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)
We entered Badlands National Park after sunset. There was just enough moonlight to vaguely make out the dark and ominous formations looming over us as we drove to one of the park’s campgrounds to set up for the night. After a brief encounter with a porcupine, we were down for the night, then packed up … Read more
