People have forged their way across this country since time immemorial in pursuit of something greener, Godlier, golden.
We did it because we’re a little nomadic and wanted any excuse not to put our aging dog (Spike, 14 years old) on a long-haul flight. The cat was another (rather funny) story.
And so it came to pass that G, I, our 2 year old B, 2 month old Q and Spike set out on a grand adventure across the country ….. USA Roadtrip Baby !!
Follow along on a Day by Day basis as this website unfolds from Portland, OR across the USA.

G : Strange.
I : Surreal.

The radio is playing …..Nothing I can do, I’ve been looking for a girl like you …..
B : Are we going home now?
Well actually …….
What worked for us: Traveling with very young children
Get the safest (obviously) and most comfortable carseats you can afford – they are going to be in them for a long time.
