Fridays Are For… Roadtrip Checklists
So far our trip has been amazing! Full of kitsch, bed and breakfasts, rural cabins and the ocean. And mountains!! But before we left I made a list of some things I had to find along the way, so here’s a peek into our trip so far…
Mount Rushmore – isn’t it majestic?
Veggie Burger #298745
(parts of the midwest are slightly dismal for vegetarians)
The Mountains
A birthday brewery visit
Pike Place in Seattle
An elusive West Coast blogger in her native habitat
A nighttime skytrain ride
We’re in Calgary now and are starting to get ready to make the last leg of the journey home to sweet, homey old Winnipeg just in time for us to scoop up the puppies from family before the weekend ends.
For now, I’m tired, happy and I don’t want this to be over. I can’t tell you how wonderful it’s been… but I’ll certainly try.
Talk soon, sparrows!
LOVE. This sounds like so much fun.
The Mount Rushmore picture is hilarious.
Also, yeah. We like our meat in the Midwest. Sorries. :(

Pike Place Market was crazy when we visited! But so photogenic and totally different from anything I’d ever experienced.

you have such a cute blog!
[i have bunches of friends in winnipeg… i’m jealous of you for being so near them…:)]
It looks like such a fun trip, even with the dreary weather. I cannot wait to hear a trip update when you come back!

I think you’re home now, but what a trip!
I’m sorry about the non Rushmore view, but that’s pretty hilarious!

Your trip sounds like it has been delightful, and I hope the rest of your trip is amazing! Enjoy yourself, lady!

Oh hurrah! Looks like you had a brilliant, brilliant time, hey :)

Sounds/looks like it’s been a great trip! Why do all those photos look like they’re very old-timey? Ha. Anyway, everything looks lovely, & yes, the Midwest isn’tthe most veg-friendly part of the country… glad you managed!

I like the veggie burgers at Fuddruckers! With some jalapenos on top! Also, Seattle is one of my favorite places on Earth – good thing I live close ;)
I love the mountains! You’d think I’d see them more often, living only a few hours away from the foothills, but I think I’ve only been three times in the five years I’ve lived here! Glad you’re having a good trip :)
I can’t wait to hear all about your trip! have a fantastic weekend, lovely.
Oh Mount Rushmore, you elusive minx.

glad you’re having such a great trip, i love road trips!
.-= katelin´s last blog ..3 Months. =-.
I adore Pike Place Market and riding the Sky Train -(it beats Toronto’s subterranean subway hands down).
I’m glad your road-trip has been awesome!

Thanks for sharing the pics. Which brewery did you go to? I’d love to visit them all! Heineken has been my favorite one so far. It’s always sad when an awesome trip ends, but it feels so good to sleep in your own bed again.

Oh I wish you would’ve told me when you were here! I would’ve loved to have met up for coffee!! I hope you had a great time with your Mister :)

That MT Rushmore shot is hilarious. Guess it’s not a good time to go check out the scenery. :)

I live in the mid-west and I can vouch for you finding vegetarian options here? IMPOSSIBLE. Heck, finding healthy options here is nearly impossible.
Reason number 3984032984 the mid-west sucks.

Thanks for sharing photos with us! Can’t wait to hear more about the trip, although I am sure it’s impossible to truly do the trip justice!

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed your trip! I’d love to visit a brewery at some point. Actually, you just gave me the best idea for a surprise for my husband! One of the things I’ve been wanting to do was take him on a surprise trip. This just might be it! Thanks for the idea. :)

Hmmm, I wish I was traveling! Thanks for sharing the pics. I always love experiencing new places by reading blogs. I’ve only been to Canada twice, but I loved it both times. So beautiful!
