After Alaska, we zoomed 45 or so hours back to Bellingham, Washington, where my friends Beth and Lauren live. They are amazing and took care of our fur baby, Luca, while we were adventuring and hanging out with bears. Luca had a great time while he was there; he still hasn’t stopped talking about it. After some good catching up and tacos, we headed down to Olympic National Park. We were joined by my mom for this park, as she…
“How can you afford this?” is one of the questions we’ve gotten most, after “ew, how do you take showers?” and “how do you not kill each other?” (see this blog for answers on that one!). When we started thinking about this adventure, I turned to the never ending wisdom of the internet and social media van life accounts.
