Our Route Across the Country – Part 5

February 6, 2016 by Kristin

Our cross country adventure continues!  We’re detailing the route of our cross country adventure into multiple segments. Here’s a breakdown of each leg of our journey:

  • Part 1 looped us from Ohio to Maine and back to Ohio.
  • Part 2 carried us across the country from Ohio to Montana and to our adventures in and around Glacier National Park.
  • Part 3 circled the Olympic Peninsula in and around Olympic National Park.
  • Part 4 took us to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and Redwood National and State Parks in California
    • We also included our extended stay on the Oregon Coast over the holidays in Part 4, as we filled holiday orders for Destination Tree

Next up…

Part V
December 26, 2015 – January 14, 2016

After weeks of hard work and rain in Oregon, we were ready to hit the road again. The day after Christmas, with all of our holiday orders complete, we packed up. The sun was shining. I repeat, the sun was shining. It ALMOST made us hesitate to stay longer, but we knew the rain would return, and a sunny day was a beautiful way to say good-bye. So, south to California we drove, with a magnificent coastal sunset and then some treacherously icy mountain roads, we bee-lined for Napa Valley.

With a self-guided bicycle tour, we tasted our way through Calistoga vineyards and enjoyed sunshine, chilly winds and blue skies. Next up was New Year’s with family in San Jose, and a stop at the Winchester Mystery House. From there we based ourselves in Fresno for trips into Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. UNBELIEVABLE. Each national park we’ve been to has immeasurable beauty, and these parks were no exception.

We continued to Southern California to visit more family and did some exploring in the San Bernardino National Forest. Click here for the blog post with pictures and highlights of our California adventures.
