We’re in Portland and Mary is being a fabulous hostess! I don’t really have time to update properly, but I will tell you that today we went to Powell’s and went a little book crazy, had some delicious Portland microbrews and drank tea in the tranquil Chinese Gardens. Tomorrow we’ll have a farewell breakfast at [...]

the scalper code of honor
July 12, 2009
Today was quite a day. First off, we headed to The Coastal Kitchen for a delicious breakfast. After that we planned to visit Pioneer Square. When we got there, however, we noticed that quite a few people wearing Seattle Sounders (soccer) jerseys all headed in the same direction. Of course, that could mean only one [...]
the best coast
July 11, 2009
We have finally arrived on the west coast! Since I have received some complaints (Michelle) about the lack of substance of my recent posts, I’ll try to make this one a little more comprehensive. So, today we arrived in Seattle. Its pretty nice so far. We went to the aquarium (nice, but nothing compared to [...]
Wow, travelling is tiring.

We left Yellowstone today and headed west, we ended up in Kellogg, Idaho. Today was largely driving through Montana which was beautiful, but there’s not much going on. Yellowstone was, of course, amazing. We stayed at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, staying in the park was definietly the right choice. We managed to see a [...]

Not much to report today. We’re in Cody, Wyoming. We saw Devil’s Tower, it was pretty cool, but not cool enough to motivate me to upload the pictures right now. Tomorrow we’ll drive about an hour to Yellowstone where we’re staying in a cabin and the Old Faithful Inn! I don’t think there’s internet access [...]
Staring democracy in its faces

Well, we’ve made it to Deadwood, South Dakota: famed place of death of Wild Bill Hickock and fictionalized in the amazing series Deadwood. In reality, its pretty gross. There are slot machines everywhere! Even in our Best Western. Today we did SO MUCH! We drove to the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore and along the way [...]

We were flipping through the channels and found this: Significantly patriotic and campy for the Freedom Tour™, I think. Also, please notice that John Adams is none other than a young Mr. Feeney!
Over 1,700 miles down
July 5, 2009
Today we drove. A lot. But before we drove we went to the magnificent Harry Potter exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. I’m telling you, this exhibit was fantastic, we loved everything about it and then went a little crazy in the gift shop. Not as crazy as we could have though [...]
Fireworks and Firewater or Chitown part 2
July 4, 2009
First and foremost, I have to recap all of the crazy things that have happened in the last two days. First: As Meaghan and I were driving to Chicago, Magellan (our gps/nemesis) ordered us to exit the highway. Unbeknown to us, we were lead through Gary, Indiana or, as my friend Michelle calls it, “the [...]
Chitown part 1
July 3, 2009
We have safely made it to Chicago into Michelle’s loving arms. I don’t have time for a proper update right now, but let me just leave you with some teasers: booze cruise, cheetah, Gary, Indiana, hate crime (we didn’t do it!), dance party. More to come!
