Overdue for an update again! After the GOAT trip to Glacier (pun intended), we have been all over the map. First stop was in Spokane, WA, where I learned it is pronounced “SPO-CAN.” Does everyone know that? Spokane was just intended as an overnight pitstop on the way to Eugene, OR, but since we spent so much time in the sticks of Montana, we splurged for a night in a Marriott autograph collection hotel: The Davenport. It was amazing – a beautifully ornate old hotel with lots of history, and Spokane was unexpectedly and delightfully charming. We enjoyed some delicious food and 24 hours of hotel luxury, and we even stuck around for the workday on Monday because the hotel was so nice. Not a bad office for a day, huh?

We spent the following week in Eugene, OR, home of the University of Oregon, and confirmed we really enjoy staying in college towns! There is always good food (high priority) and a multitude of comfortable places to study/work. Also, there are usually late-night donut shops ☺︎ We mostly just worked in coffee shops and ate in Eugene, but I think the highlight was the afternoon we drove to the coast, officially taking these Florida kids “from sea to shining sea.”

We ate fish at a restaurant beside the water and smelled salty air. Made me miss home.

Last stop before settling down for a while was through California’s Northern Redwood State Forest. The trees were magnificent, and it was so nice to get in a long-ish hike amidst all the driving we were doing…and after all the Eugene food…

Have I mentioned we like food? Well, all the driving was ultimately to make our way to Napa, CA, our current location. We have been here since Oct 1, and of course, it has been incredible. After being on the move every week or so for 2 months, it is nice to be in one place for a while. Not to mention the food and wine or the fact that we have had some much needed and soul-filling visitors here in Napa. More on that ASAP ♥︎
