See the U.S.A. – 4: What Would Pollyanna Say?

December 11, 2013 by Patti 14 Comments

I was all prepared to write a raging bitch rant about how much it sucked to drive 500 miles from Las Cruces, New Mexico to Abilene, Texas – known forever in my head as Hwy 20 from hell across west Texas. But then I thought, what would Pollyanna say?

See the U.S.A. – 3: Chihuly Glass

December 8, 2013 by Patti 16 Comments

Before this trip I don’t think I’d ever heard of Chihuly Glass.  But, I did know there is beauty in the desert. We’ve always found a special genre of beauty in the desert landscape.  It’s a bit tricky to get up close and personal sometimes, but the desert is a artistic landscape.  As we made our way south before turning east, a stop in the desert was on the agenda.  Although it was a stop intended to meet up with a friend, it was an unplanned trip the gardens that made the day.

See the U.S.A. – 2: Disneyland

December 6, 2013 by Patti 13 Comments

After our marathon drive from southern Oregon to southern California, we awoke to blue skies and just a slight chill in the air. Guess what? We were just one hour north of Anaheim, which, if you don’t know is home to Disneyland.

See the U.S.A. – 1: Highway 5

December 4, 2013 by Patti 16 Comments

I’m looking at the time and realizing it has been 12 hours, almost to the minute, since we rolled onto Interstate Highway 5 this morning.  And although we logged nearly 650 miles we are not where we thought we’d be at this time.

Yosemite & Mountain Memories

December 1, 2013 by Patti 20 Comments

As I sit here, I can smell the turkey sizzling and crackling in the oven.  Abi is outside working in the yard – something he never tires of doing – and I’m puttering, continuing to ready ourselves for our upcoming road trip.

Map Us!

November 14, 2013 by Patti 18 Comments

I know I said in my last post – The Finer Things in Life – that aside from the fact we will arrive in Washington, D.C. for the holidays, we have no set plans or destinations in mind for our upcoming 2-month road trip; and that is the truth of the matter.

See the USA in Your Chevrolet

November 10, 2013 by Patti 26 Comments

If you’re of a certain age you may remember the classic commercial, “See the USA in Your Chevrolet.”  You can’t read the words without singing the melody, right?

Cary Grant & Mt. Rushmore

September 29, 2013 by Patti 6 Comments

After setting up camp in our 3-month rental house, in our new life in Ashland, OR, we had several weeks to call our own before we took ownership of what is now our B&B.  We took care of a few matters of business and spent time scouting out our new town.  When the time was right we packed our son’s car and drove it across country with a plan to cross off Mt. Rushmore from our must see list.

Route 66: The American Classic Road Trip

September 22, 2013 by Patti 20 Comments

There is something incredibly special about traveling Route 66; The American classic road trip.  I recently connected with someone on Twitter who said he has gone out and discovered something new along the Route over 200 times – very impressive I’d say.
