Alright, let’s get down to business, Seattle’s food… 🙂  I can’t write about Seattle and NOT mention the food. The food culture in Seattle is out of this world! It was fun to taste the foods we read and heard about, and this list is our two cents. We only had so much space in … More Our Favorite Seattle Bites
I love that Seattle has so many interesting things to do for everyone of all ages, abilities and interests. I mean, we were a teenager and two “mature, young at heart” 😉 people, and we really enjoyed our time in Seattle. We really embraced our role as ‘tourist’ on this trip (no shame, I tell … More Things to Do in Seattle, Washington (part 2)
We finally made it “back” to Seattle again! The last time we were in Seattle, we disembarked from the plane at SEA-TAC airport, found out that we missed our connecting flight to Spokane, then had no choice but to rent a car and drive the 4.5 hours over the cascades to make it to my … More Things to Do in Seattle, Washington

Last Sunday after a rainy week in the Bay Area, we headed over to Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont to get in some bike riding/hiking, and to see if any wildflowers had made an appearance. California poppies were making quite a showing on the brilliant green rolling hills, and the purple lupines, although harder … More Springtime at Coyote Hills
One of our favorite times to travel is during the cold weather months. Especially visiting a national/state park that is usually too congested or too hot during the summer. During these months, there is less crowds, more breathing space and it seems just easier to get around. Many parks (which are not covered in snow) … More Winterizing the Campervan
WordPress sent me that “Happy Anniversary” message recently letting me know that another year has gone by since I started blogging. I can’t believe it’s been two years since I started Weekend Campervanning. Two years! How did I even find things to blog about for two years? It’s exciting to think that people other than … More Our Two Year Favorites
Fresh, warm from the oven, homemade muffins are a great way to make any breakfast just a little more special. The aroma alone in my household is enough to bring everyone into the kitchen to take a peek into the oven. Made with frozen fruit, these can be made at any time of year. I … More Fast and Easy Fruit Muffins
Last year we had our worst travel experience ever on Alaska Airlines. A delay of our first flight from San Francisco to Seattle led us to miss our connecting flight to Spokane. Suffice it to say, we made it to our daughter’s volleyball tournament by driving the 4.5 hours from Seattle to Spokane because there … More Hawaii: The Big Island
Let’s say that you’re ready to spend some time visiting Bryce Canyon National Park at a more leisurely pace. Maybe you’ve already seen the canyon from the rim at the popular view points (Inspiration Point, Bryce Point, Paria View Point), already strolled along the rim trail from Sunrise to Sunset Point, already hiked some of … More Driving Tour of Bryce Canyon National Park
I had very high expectations about Bryce Canyon National Park, in fact they were so high  I was worried that I might be disappointed. So many people have told me that Bryce Canyon was their favorite park out of the Utah parks. That’s pretty high praise considering the caliber of these national parks. Has that … More Bryce Canyon National Park
It’s been about two and a half years since we brought our campervan home and we still get excited packing it up and going on trips. It’s gotten a little easier and faster to leave for a trip now, thanks to the bins that we keep in the house and a list we continually revise. … More Two and a Half Year Campervan Review
When I’m visiting a national park, I usually seek out solitude. There’s something about being able to hike in the most beautiful surroundings lost in your own thoughts, letting feelings of awe and inspiration take over you without interruption. Feeling like you have the place all to yourself makes it that much more special. My … More Seeking Solitude in Zion National Park
I love the holidays and I love National Parks, so when I can somehow combine the two, it’s like, well… Christmas! Celebrating a holiday at the Zion Lodge right smack dab in the middle of Zion National Park has been up there in my top 10 bucket list items. The National Park lodges that we’ve … More Celebrating Christmas in Zion National Park
Happy 2018! I hope you enjoyed the holidays and created some wonderful memories! Last week on the way to one of my bucket list destinations (Zion National Park), we stopped and camped at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. I was so impressed with this place!
