Starting from where we are in Chicago, we'll drive all the way to Bend, Oregon. Yes, its as far as it looks - we'll spend over 35 hours in the car! We'll be in Bend for the month of June, then will spend the Fourth of July weekend on the Oregon Coast at a small beach town called Depoe Bay. From there we're headed to Shell Beach, a town outside San Luis Obispo, California... Oprah named SLO as the happiest city in America, so who can argue with visiting there?! After spending time in California, we'll head to Boulder, Colorado.
So how did we pick these places to visit? These three states have been on our radar as places we're interested in, so we've been searching online and chatting up anyone who knows anything about them. These cities all seem to get mentioned over and over again as places people love to live, with milder weather and lots of opportunities for hiking and outdoor recreation. We're not super-outdoorsy (yes, I realize that this comes as a total shock to most of you!), but we'd like to be! :)
The car is all packed and we begin the long trek tomorrow when Jason is done with work... more updates from the road!
