    And we are off 😌

    16. marraskuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F

    Hey there everyone. We departed a bit later than we anticipated but finally made it to Hee Hee Illahee RV Resort, located in the heart of the Willamette Valley. We are making a beeline for the border because it's VERY cold here, very thankful for the forced air heater in the pod 😁Lue lisää

    Woke up nice and snug but it was absolutely freezing outside. We didn't put up our awning room addition but did that tonight and what a difference. I also bought a cheap electric heater to heat up the awning room. The drive was pretty good and we saw some nice changes in the landscape. I think we need to come back in the summer.Lue lisää

    Happy birthday Tracey 😘

    Cali here we come

    18. marraskuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

    Well today we woke up a lot warmer with the awning room, night and day experience. We are traveling to Red Bluff CA where we had a RV park reserved but we decided that screw that, it's too cold, let's save camping for Mexico and let's staying in hotels until then! Anyway, landscape changes were awesome, Mount Shasta views were amazing and the drive was spectacular. I treated Tracey at the most expensive steak restaurant in Red Bluff, CA for her birthday ... it's also the ONLY steakhouse in Red Bluff 😂😂Lue lisää

    Short stay in Auburn

    20. marraskuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Holly and Dennis in Auburn. We first visited Old Town Auburn which was amazing and then headed to Holly. They put on an exquisite dinner and lathered us with the best wines. Dennis is a real ham radio guy and I seriously could have stayed another week. They have the most amazing view! Murphy has a TikTok ... watch ... sorry Holly 😂Lue lisää

    Valle de Guadalupe day 2

    25. marraskuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ 🌙 61 °F

    At first this place looked like there was not a lot to do but the more we explored the more we realized that there is so many wineries and amazing restaurants that it would take us a month to explore them all and that that would probably bankrupt us 😂. Joking aside, we are blown away by the level of quality and professionalism of everyone involved here. Also, the cocktails are some of the best we have ever had. Small downside is that most land is private so we had a hard time finding anywhere to go for a hike. We visited Casa FRIDA in the evening for a tequila and wine pairing in this amazing room with local art, very enjoyable.Lue lisää

    Last day in the valle

    26. marraskuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    We spent a lazy day and found an awesome restaurant called Bloodlust, definitely the best pork belly I have ever had! Cocktails were pretty spectacular as too. Then in the evening we went to Casa FRIDA and did a wine pairing in the speak easy. What an experience...wow. The speak easy was dedicate to Chavela Vargas, a well known Mexican singer who had a relationship with Frida apparently .. that was quite the thing back in the day. http://www.chavelavargasfilm.com/chavela-vargasLue lisää

    San Quintin

    27. marraskuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    We headed out this morning and went through the military checkpoint and didn't stop! Today we headed to San Quintin and planned to stay at a small site on the beach in our pod but the wind was quite strong and it was COLD 🥶 so we decided to stay at a small hotel called Hotel Jardine. What an amazing little hotel, felt very colonial. The next day we decided to take a drive to the the camp site and hike a bit. It was a wonderful hike and the dogs absolutely loved the freedom. We had lunch at a small restaurant and wow, the seafood was so fresh and delish and very inexpensive.Lue lisää

    On to Cataviña

    29. marraskuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    Cataviña has a special place in my heart. It's stunning huge white boulders and enormous cacti makes it almost look alien. We spent a night out i the cactus and boulder fields to experience the absolutely stunning views of the stars since there is very little light pollution. We also did a hike to see the cave paintings.Lue lisää

    End of thr road ... wonder what used to happen here? Btw, I had to help the guy get his boat out 😂Salt flatsEnded pulling the fishermen's boat up the ramp ... he just could not tow it out.

    Guerrero Negro

    1. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    We decided to cut our trip in Cataviña short because of worsening weather later next week at the winery we had booked. We brought it forward by 5 days so now we will have sunshine for most of our time there. We pressed on to Guerrero Negro and found only a singe hotel/motel that had availability and it was at the glorious Halfway hotel on the border of Baja California and Baja Sur. It was super cheap and quite nice. I don't have many pics of the hotel so Tracey will add a footprintLue lisää

    Santispac

    9. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    So, quite a lot of people here but it's still absolutely beautiful. The sunsets and sun rises on the Bahia Concepcion are breathtaking. It's not too warm here so Tracey is all bundled up and we had a few windy days. Bonus is we got to see the Netherlands vs Argentina match at the Mulegé brewery!! And the weather is getting hotter.Lue lisää

    Loreto, we like you!

    12. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

    We ended up staying an extra few days at Santispac, and why not :) We are now in Loreto, a cute little town on the east coast. It has an amazing little historical area with a lovely Malacón or, as we would call it, a boardwalk. Every night, no matter what day, you have guys cruising up and down, playing their music, as you see in the sixties movies .. so cool. We stayed at a typical Mexican hotel right on the beach, and it reminded us of the hotel we stayed at many years ago when we first started coming to Mexico, except it wasn't falling down. We had a lovely few days and found the best margaritas in town and a brewery!

    Unfortunately we also had one the worst meals I think I have ever had in my life, and it was the steakhouse right next to the mission with a fantastic setting and view. Next time, don't choose a restaurant in a tourist area :)    Lue lisää

    La Paz

    15. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    We are in La Paz for 4 nights. This is one of my favorite cities in Baja. It has a population of 240,000 and feels very vibrant and not too touristy. There are many fabulous restaurants and we loved walking the back streets through all the local shopping allyways and markets. It here that you also find the best street food. We are staying in a b&b in the commercial district which is a short walk from the malecon.Lue lisää

    Playa Al Pastor

    19. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ 🌙 73 °F

    We stayed for four nights ona beach just outside Todos Santos that I stayed back in February this year. Last time I could see the ocean from where I parked but 10 months later it is not visible! Looks like some big event reshaped the entire beach and now there is a small cliff where the sand meets the ocean ... quite amazing. Todos Santos is a really cute town with many shops and great restaurants. Unfortunately it has become very touristy and VERY expensive so much so that it may be more expensive than Seattle!!! Anyway, we had a great time here.Lue lisää

    Yay!! The girls have arrived. Flights were a disaster and we still don't know know they made it but make it they did. Spent the next day relaxing and then preparing for Christmas Eve feasting and partying! Made a paella and opened a few nice bottles of wine. MJ and Adrian brought two lovely bottles of tequila!Lue lisää

    Christmas day

    25. joulukuuta 2022, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    We celebrated Christmas away from home for the second time since the kids were born. We decided to not buy gifts this year since we were traveling and Tracey said we would buy stocking stuffers. Well, I think I should have had her clarify what a sticking stuffer is ... there were some "really" excellent stuffers 😂. Another change was that decided not to cook on Christmas days and went to the beautiful Acre restaurant with the Lams!!Lue lisää
