Journey of a Lifetime
Skylar 
We left Becca and Travis’s at 8 a.m. in Portland and drove all day to get to San Francisco. The drive for the most part was luscious green mountains and beautiful. We also got to see Mount Shasta and Lake Shasta. They were both awesome to see and the weather got warmer as we got … Read more
Before we arrived in Idaho Alyssa and I explored Yellowstone and Jackson Hole the day before.

Delaware In a hurry to get to Philadelphia and experience the most we could, we made a quick stop in Wilmington, DE to grab a bite to eat.
