Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow, AK) is the 9th most northern city in the world and the most northern city in the US. We spent a whirlwind 24 hours there and I'd gladly do it again, and recommend it to others. That being said, part of what MADE our trip was that it coincided with … [Read more...] about 24 Hours In Utqiagvik (Formerly Barrow), AK: Polar Plunge, Eating Whale, Neverending Sun & More

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
6 Nights In Fairbanks, AK – Here’s What We Did
To kick off our five weeks in Alaska, we spent six nights in Fairbanks. The second largest city in Alaska, Fairbanks was the city I was least impressed by in the 49th state. It's not that it's ugly, it's just not as scenic as other places like Anchorage and Seward. The … [Read more...] about 6 Nights In Fairbanks, AK – Here’s What We Did
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
9 Days In Boise, ID – Here’s What We Did
After eight days in Idaho Falls, we moved on to Boise for a total of nine days. Shae and I knew that we'd be having to spend our first few days in the city working, so it didn't matter as much to us where we stayed initially. As a result, we booked a four night stay at a hotel … [Read more...] about 9 Days In Boise, ID – Here’s What We Did
8 Days In Idaho Falls, ID – Here’s What We Did
Shae and I have just finished up spending a month in Idaho - the 43rd state on our 50 state road trip. Visiting from mid-March to mid-April wasn't the ideal time of year to visit due to the weather and lingering snow in some parts of the state, so that ended up affecting how much … [Read more...] about 8 Days In Idaho Falls, ID – Here’s What We Did

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From New Jersey
For almost two months over November and December 2023, Shae and I stayed in New Jersey. I was going to say we visited New Jersey, but overall we didn't do very much "visiting" there! Those two months are an extremely busy time for me work-wise with one of my other websites, so … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From New Jersey
Visiting The Statue Of Liberty & Ellis Island From New Jersey’s Liberty State Park
I love NYC. I mean, it's my heart city. There are very few places on earth that I've been to that make me feel like NYC. I've visited for most of my life and even lived there for a little while in 2003. So, I've done most of the iconic, "must-dos," like the Empire State Building, … [Read more...] about Visiting The Statue Of Liberty & Ellis Island From New Jersey’s Liberty State Park
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Massachusetts
My parents joined me and Shae on the road trip in Maine and Vermont this fall. Their visit was bookended by us spending a total of about 6 weeks in Massachusetts.
