Everyone always thinks of Seattle when they think of Washington State. The sea, the mountains, Starbucks…but the other side of the state is just as wonderful and deserves more recognition. I knew very little about Spokane before I went. I love when a place can really surprise me. Spokane is located on the eastern side…
I never heard of this sleepy little mountain town. I had no idea what to expect as I drove thru the mountains into Blowing Rock. It was immense overcast and I could barely see the road when I arrived. Starving I parked on the main street and strolled around in order to find lunch.
On a quest for all things Edgar Allan Poe and the ultimate brunch spot I made my last stop on my month long road trip Baltimore. I have driven thru Maryland countless times whether it was heading to Ocean City or further south. Upon spending time in Baltimore I can’t believe I ever passed it…
When I made Roanoke a stop on my road trip I didn’t know much about it. I figured I would go on a few hikes and drink a few beers and that was that. I had no idea it was the mountain bike capital. It has an interesting culinary scene and a budding brewery scene….

A few months ago I was put in contact with the PR woman who runs the Dude Ranches of America. She asked me if I would be interested in working with a dude ranch. The idea intrigued me. I am always looking for new experiences and new states to explore. She asked me to pick…
I have been to Philly a few times. I have explored the necessary monuments, eaten a cheese steak or two and even had a one night stand. Heading back there for a weekend I felt like I could explore more of the off the beaten path experiences and take more time.
People said I was crazy to spend a January weekend in Vermont. The possibility of the weather being hard to deal with was inevitable. If I didn’t go then when would I go?
My favorite states during the road trip were New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. The most beautiful landscapes would pass by as we drove. We planned on hiking in Bryce Canyon and staying there for two nights in a Tipi.
