Ok – I realize I’ve kinda fallen off the face of the earth and haven’t been on here in 5 months…. Sorry…. My body has been fucking me over and, while not in a depression, I have been super-pre-occupied with the daily grind and all that goes with it.
Having said that, we are planning another trip and its coming up soon! At the beginning of the summer (thats in April down here in Southern New Mexico...) we decided that our first anniversary trip should be someplace awesome and our first thought was – Glacier National Park!
All the pictures we saw as we researched the trip were amazing, and we couldn’t wait to go! Glacier’s Instagram game is ON POINT! Check it out…
So after conferring with a colleague who worked at Glacier, we knew exactly where to stay. Unfortunately, so did everyone else. They were completely booked! So Glacier is on the back burner for next fall and we’ll get reservations ASAP!
So after a short list of amazing places we want to go, we have chosen a road trip up the California Coast! The plan is not-at-all simple. Fly into San Francisco, bum around town a few days eating all the Indian food we can find and soaking up some city livin’, then rent a car and head north, zig-zagging along the coast, stopping in cool little towns and camping, until we hit Redwoods National Park, visit with friends and hike a few days, commune with the sea and the trees, then drive inland to Lassen Volcanic National Park, camp and hike a few days, commune with the sulfur-spewing and sulfur-bubbling pits, then down a gross interstate to see an old friend, more yummy food, then back to San Francisco and home to Carlsbad via El Paso! Whew! in 10 days…
This is what we’re hoping for…
