Our blog is mostly intended to capture the highlights of this great adventure, though we thought we’d offer a glimpse into the more mundane parts of being on the road.
What’s Hampton been doing?
- alllll the driving, getting the dominant say in the podcast lineup (The NYT’s The Daily, KCRW’s Left Right & Center, Politico’s NerdCast, NPR’s Politics, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow – to name a few faves)
- making up silly songs during high-maneuver one-lane cruisin’
- playing Breath of the Wild on the Switch during charging
- following his heart on all sweet baked goods
- squeezing in bikram during city stays
- whippin’ up delish meals and smoothies along the way
What’s Gary been doing?
- alllll the navigating (with a healthy dose of backseat driving)
- snapping great shots and photo editing for the blog
- all other blog and social media management (we alternate writing the posts)
- letting Tegan use his lap for all her comforts and curiosities
- reading aloud for us (a blend of news articles and The Handmaid’s Tale)
- Airbnb app interfacing
- washing all the dishes
What’s Tegan been doing?
- sleeping
- tiny grunting
- sniffing
- stepping on Gary
- licking both our hands (and that one time she tried to get in on our kissing)
- whimpering
- running speedy circles in open spaces
- climbing over rocks and logs
- serving as a lil furnace curled up in our shared sleeping bag
- waiting for us to come back from indoor errands and dining
- hating everyone and wishing we were home
