Vacation Plans

Today Harry and I sat down and finalized our revised vacation plans. Since we can't take Lora's trailer, we'll be staying in hotels, it's not ideal but it's cheaper then renting an RV. We will be taking Daisy (our dog) with us so that limits us on what we can do. This is more of a road trip to see some of the country.

Our first day we will be driving all the way up to Mt. Shasta in NorCal. Day two we will be driving to Hood River in Oregon and stay there for a couple of days to enjoy the Columbia River Gorge. Then we will drive west to Aberdeen in Washington to spend a couple of days with my good friends Rick and Amy .From there we will be heading to Columbia Falls in Montana and spend a couple of days at Glacier National Park. Then we'll be head down south into Wyoming and spend a couple of days in Yellowstone. From there we will head to Arches National Park in Utah and spend a few of days there. Then on to Zion National Park also in Utah. From there we will be heading back home, purposely avoiding Arizona (which adds about 150 miles to our trip). All in all we'll be on the road for about 3700 miles and we think that it will take us somewhere between 16 - 18 days.

I'll be blogging, tweetering and facebooking from the road. I'm also going to try and do video blogs along the way.. should be lots of fun.

  1. Ah! You'll be passing so close by Chico! If you want to make a detour, I'll happily take you both out to lunch (dinner depending on time?). *grins*

  2. Alas, your trip takes you no where near my part of the world. Oh well, next time I'm in LA we have to meet up. I'll bug Christopher till it happens. Trip looks/sounds like it will be so fun; kind of jealous here.

  3. Have fun! If you have time, you should hike the Zion Narrows...it's perfect for a really hot day. It's beautiful and fun. Plus, it's all inside the park. :)
