Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Nevada
The penultimate state we visited on our 7 year, 50 state road trip was Nevada. We'd spent time in Nevada in the past as we'd visited Las Vegas a few times.

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Wyoming
Despite Wyoming being in the top 10 states by area size, it's the least populated of all 50 states. That means that there isn't as much stuff to do compared to many other states and as a result we only spent 2.5 weeks there in late September/early October. Despite that, we … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Wyoming

1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More
After a couple of great days in Healy to visit Denali National Park, we headed 3.5 hours south to Wasilla. Wasilla is a city 45 minutes north of Anchorage where we'd be staying after Wasilla, so it might seem pointless staying in both places seeing as it's a relatively short … [Read more...] about 1 Week In Wasilla, AK: Musk Ox, Excellent Beer, Amazing Views, Iditarod Sled Dogs & More
2 Nights In Healy, AK For Denali National Park – Here’s What We Did
After staying 6 nights in Fairbanks, our next stop was Healy for a couple of nights. We'd love to have stayed there for longer, but due to its close proximity to Denali National Park, accommodation prices in Healy in the summer are expensive.

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Washington
From early April to early May, we spent a month exploring Washington. Washington hadn't been a state that was on my radar as somewhere I particularly cared about visiting, but that was my mistake. It's amazing! From the eastern side of the state in Spokane to the western side … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Washington
