Country roads, take me home, To the place I belong

Road tripping between US and Canada

I used to love flying.

I’d always get the window seat and stay up majority of the flight looking out of the window.

I’d always travel light with just only a carry-on to avoid any type of interaction with luggage, check-ins, etc, which would allow me to arrive tothe airport 1 hour prior to most flights. Even during peak times, I’d have enough time for a pre-flight Heineken at the nearest-to-my-gate pub.

But somewhere between the second and third child, opinion on flying took a 180 degree turn.

Luckily, I’ve always enjoyed driving just as much. So instead of constantly flying, I started taking my kids on road trips to Canada.

Entire trip takes at least 24–26 hours and can span several days, depending on the chosen route.

So far together we’ve explored Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana!

From here, I’ll let the photos do most of the taking and I will describe some in greater detail as they appear.

Enjoy!

Montana is picturesque.

Guys here like to drive… fast! The roads are made for the speed.
