Keep Calm and Glamp On: West Coast Road Trip - Part II

Special thanks to Bill and Pam for hosting me at Wanser Farm.  I had the most incredible experience, and I hope you'll have me back again!

... Continued from West Coast Road Trip - Part I

We arrived at Wanser Farm just before midnight on Thursday. The 100 year old farm was undergoing some updates, so we set up camp on the front lawn.  The next morning, I woke up to an alarm clock that went "cock-a-doodle-doo," and I stepped outside to behold our little piece of country paradise.  The brown palm trees painted on the side of the trailer reminded me of how far we’d come.  And yet, I felt perfectly at home.

Keep Calm and Glamp On: West Coast Road Trip - Part I

Aunt Jojo and the Pacific Ocean (Somewhere in Oregon)

Summer vacation is not just for kids, though I still consider myself a kid at heart.  I usually satisfy my wanderlust with weekend adventures near Los Angeles, but when my Aunt Jojo mentioned a road trip to a family farm in Snohomish, WA, I suddenly felt the need to explore far away places.

Right now was a perfect time for us to make this journey together.  Aunt Jojo's boyfriend Donnie passed away almost a year ago, and I'm still looking for love.  Though we have a lot in common, our differences compliment each other very well.  I like to plan everything from start to finish, and Jojo likes to go with the flow.  Jojo is a morning person, and I am an evening person.  Jojo grew up in the '70's, and I have a passion for seventies music.  We joked about meeting a father/son pair on the road, but we were just as happy with the two of us.
