Travelogues Washington

We were able to park our rental car overnight in the hotel parking lot (for 25 dollars), so we can head to Snoqualmie Falls right in the morning. Before that, we'll find a bagel...

The evening before, I booked a car with Alamo so we could take a trip to Mount Rainier National Park today. Uber rides are far too expensive, and public transportation outside of...

Freshly rested, we get up around 8:00 AM. The time difference doesn't cause us any problems – apparently, it's easier to get used to it when you travel into the future rather than...

It is Thursday, April 16, 2026, and we begin our trip to America in Jena at 6:00 PM. We have been working all day, and now we first need to drive to Hermsdorf so that Andreas can...

It continued to rain heavily today. Even the motivation to leave a Holiday Inn early has sunk 😂. After pancakes (the girls literally jumped out of bed in anticipation) and a...

Seattle may be a cool city, but for us it remains associated with a lot of tears, crises, emotions, and exhaustion. A change in course is needed... We will skip the coastal...

We actually wanted to go to the children's museum today, but we were too late. The schoolwork still takes a lot of time and energy (it’s not progressing, a miserable struggle)....

Today I went with Dad to the airport to pick up the child seat. We had to drive quite a distance. Lunch was disgusting and I actually wanted a soda. Then I went with Dad and...

Still filled with farewell sadness, we boarded the ferry in Victoria, which was supposed to take us away from Canada to Port Angeles (USA) in 1.5 hours. During the journey, we...

13.7.2024 Day 1: The alarm goes off at 5:45. We're ready to leave at 6:45. For the first time today we don't need a taxi to get to the airport, as it will be the first...

Sleep in 😁 What a luxury on this vacation 😊 Almost 8.40 according to my watch. We relaxed into the bathroom and when everyone was ready we went a few meters down the street to...

After all, the first alarm went off at 7:30 a.m. Which was definitely too soon after this short night. The snorers, yes they found their way back to the hotel, no movement. So I...

Instead of the alarm clock, we were woken up today by a stupid constant beeping from the street. I have no idea what that was, but it was loud, extremely annoying and went off...

So dear ones, we've been back home for almost a week now. We had a nice but also stressful week in Seattle and the surrounding area. The trip to the Pacific and the nice...

After leaving Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington, we continued to explore this state in the following days. We visited two of the three national parks there...

Our original plan for the US was to fly to Los Angeles, then drive along the West Coast and finally cross to the East Coast, but because we now had three months instead of two,...

After our fantastic experience in Yellowstone National Park, which was formed by a large volcano, as well as Mount Rainier, also a volcano, we were curious about another...

From Everett and the motel with the most questionable guests, who fired off firecrackers at night (we hope they were firecrackers and not cartridges...) in the neighborhood and...

The stops of the last few days were merely to split the journey to Seattle into a few days. It would not have been possible to go straight from Yellowstone NP to Seattle. With...

The day for Heike started like the last days with ear drops. She was pretty sure that her ear pain was caused by a large plug in her ear. Therefore, Christian administered drops...

Since we are flying again in two days, Jeani offered to drive us to Seattle again. First we went to the old Central Market and then briefly to downtown. The highlight of the...

The following days on the island went similarly to the previous day, with the exception of Wednesdays through Fridays. On these days, the second-hand store on Vashon was open....

This morning we all felt a bit under the weather. We wondered how Vale was feeling, so we wrote to her. We received a reply saying that she and her family have a sore throat. We...

Mattis woke up and was already feeling much better. So we all went for a walk with Jeani's dog, Stevie. It may not sound exciting, but it was for us. Because the dog is a husky....

Today I say goodbye to my Chilean maid of honor Vale, to fly to my other maid of honor who lives in Seattle. It was interesting to observe the daily life of a normal Chilean...

We spent the first night “boondocking”, which is free, self-sufficient camping legal in the US (not everywhere, though) and it worked perfectly well. After having breakfast at a...

On August 20th, we took the bus from Squamish via Vancouver to Seattle. We were excited to travel to the USA, but also a little nervous as it isn’t guaranteed that you’re...

17.08.2022 WednesdayToday we are crossing from Victoria to Port Angeles in the USA by ferry. During the journey, we were hoping to see orcas, but instead we saw a gray whale....

Wow, Woowww and even more Wwoooowww!!! That's all I can say. Guys, I want to go back! The North Cascades National Park was one of the most beautiful places and experiences I've...
