Traverse Trip / BlogHer 11

While on my Blogher road trip I had jeans on my list of things to buy. I wanted dark wash boot leg jeans to wear running after an almost 4 year old, but also jeans that would look great hanging with other adults. I had fantastic luck and scored not one but two new pairs [...]

So over our week long road trip to San Diego in our snazzy Chevrolet Traverse I got a reputation for saying "random" things.   Including calling myself a Douche Canoe while driving along I-5 somewhere in California, and a twitter debate about exit 172, or was that 176?!?. Check our #traversetrip twitter stream for some of [...]

So my netbook had a mini breakdown during Blogher. I can't blame it really it was a crazy busy trip with blogging on my lap in the backseat of the Traverse and then all those sessions and parties. The unfortunate result was that I couldn't download any of my outfit pictures after the first day.  [...]

Yesterday was a long drive from Sacramento to Portland. But we are a well oiled machine and were on the road, coffee'd, gased and driving just after 8am.  We didn't stop to buy anymore food, we have enough of that, and we had a nice picnic lunch at a rest stop in Weed.  The result was that [...]

Waaaay back in the day, specifically the 90s when I was in my 20s.  Sundays were the day that you could recover from a long busy work week and perhaps some overindulgance from the Saturday night. So you got up late,  sort of brushed your hair, read a book, watched some tv and generally lazed around.  Then [...]

Today was the first full day of the Blogher conference.  I attended some great, and inspirational, sessions.  I also took a stroll through the sponsor expo.  And had my photo take with some friends. Well Harrison is a bit too private and gruff to be called a friend, but he was cooperative enough here. And [...]

Today was our third and last day of driving to get to Blogher.  It was our shortest driving day, which gave us time to hit the outlets outside San Diego.  So admission time. I didn't even make it past the first store before I went off the plan, laid out yesterday, and bought a cardigan.  [...]

So on day 2 of our road trip I've had some time to get over the novelty of a road trip with the girls and start taking some time to think and write. The backseat of the Traverse is very comfortable, with lots of leg room and a smooth ride. So I'm able to type [...]

Four women, 7 days, 3 states on a 5,000 km road trip adventure from Vancouver, BC to San Diego California for Blogher 11. Going to be a lot of time in a confined space...  The first day started early, but after a caffeine fill-up we were off. We arrived at our first hotel in mostly the [...]

Clearly it made sense to have me be the one to research our best shopping option on our Traverse Roadtrip to San Diego.  A few months I took some requests and based on that we made a couple of our hotel decisions. And then finally this week I mapped out our options along the route. [...]
