In May 2013 we drove 1,840 miles from San Diego, California to Portland, Oregon. Just two states but we covered such a significant part of the west coast which included over five national parks, three breweries, three factory tours, a visit to one of the best restaurants in the world, and countless other amazing things along the way. As you can see we avoided Los Angeles and the coast, which was done on purpose to diversify our California experience. Check out our route:
I organized each post about our trip by location/region. Here are all of the links:
- Day 1: San Diego
- Day 2: Joshua Tree National Park

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having
a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S
Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I use WordPress and love it!
