  2. first time driving along the cliffs on the ocean.
  3. Seeing the seals jumping through the water like dolphins.
  4. Steinbeck quotes on lightposts throughout the town of Monterey.

West Coast Adventure

West Coast Adventure Kickoff!

June 6th, 2011

Well, It’s the evening before we fly West Coast Routeout. Alyssa and I are all packed and ready to wake up early for a 9am flight to start our road trip from San Francisco to Vancouver. I’ll spare you all the details since they’ll unfold themselves a little at a time over the next few weeks. We don’t have a solid route, we plan on playing most of it by ear, but to the right is a general idea of where we plan on driving. We’ll be spending about a week in San Francisco area, where Mark and David will be joining us for a few days, then we pick up our “wicked camper van” and hit the highway headed north.

We started this site a couple years ago to document some of our dinners and cooking, but that project has sort of died down in the last year or two, so our new plan with this blog over the next few weeks is to be able to post notes, photos and videos to document how our trip is going. I’m sure if you keep checking in you’ll catch some photos from our dinner at the French Laundry in Yountville, our weekend apartment in San Francisco, hiking among the giants in the Redwood National Forest, artisan food truck lunches in Portland, fish tossing in Seattle, and river taxis in Vancouver.  Plus lots of unexpected adventures I’m sure.

We’ll be updating from the airport tomorrow morning. Wish us luck!
