It's been a couple months now since the trip ended and I thought I'd take the opportunity to reminisce and look back on the experience as a whole. I asked the boys a few questions about their time in America. What was your favorite city and why? Sean: "Favourite city for me would be San …
All good things must come to an end, and this amazing trip was no different, but before heading back to reality we had one last place to explore: Las Vegas, Nevada. World renowned for its 4.2-mile-long strip of casinos, hotels and copycat world landmarks, as well as its constant party atmosphere. As Michaela was beginning …
The drive from LA to San Diego was not bad at all (surprisingly) and we got to our airbnb by mid-afternoon. Since it was the last part of the trip where we would all be together we decided to treat ourselves and spend a little extra money to get an airbnb in the middle of …
On July 26th we packed up all our stuff at Rachel's place and moved to an airbnb in downtown. It was thanks to the White family being so kind and hosting us that we were able to afford an airbnb in such a nice area for the rest of our time in LA. Our airbnb …
For the first part of our stay in LA we stayed with my friend and old roommate Rachel White and her family in Agoura Hills. They were great hosts and so kind for letting us stay with them. Thanks again to the White family if you're reading this! The first thing we did when we …
Our airbnb for Santa Barbara wasn't in Santa Barbara itself. We were just down the coast in a town called Carpinteria. Our airbnb was a nice room inside a larger house, with access to a deck to sit out on. Sean set up his Scottish flag outside to let all the neighbors know who was …
The drive from Yosemite was far less stressful than the drive to it, and we made it to our San Jose airbnb in pretty good time. A year earlier when I first met Sean, I asked him if he could go anywhere in the world where would he go? He said San Jose, an answer …
The last leg of our drive to Yosemite was the most terrifying and nerve-wracking part of the entire trip. When we were planning the trip months before we were too slow and missed our chance to reserve one of the campsites which book up faster than concert tickets. However, there are still several campgrounds at …
My grandma and her sisters used to live outside San Francisco when they were children. Occasionally their aunties Edna and Irene would dress them up like little ladies and take them into the city for a treat. That treat was usually Blum's coffee crunch cake. Years later, Blum's went out of business. Luckily, my great …
On our way down to San Francisco we made a detour to the tiny town of Inverness, CA so the boys could get a picture with the sign, make the joke that they were back home, and see if there were any similarities between the town and its namesake. For lunch we made a point …
