After leaving Tierra del Fuego we were faced with a big decision, which road do we take??? When we started our journey, we went south from Buenos Aires and there was one general path, but now heading north, we suddenly had many. We could either choose small roads that cut through the center of Argentina […]

Back in the USSA, Boy do We Know How Lucky We Are!
We decided to take a 2 month “vacation from our vacation” from July 20th-September 20th. It was perfect timing for a cousin’s wedding in Las Vegas and perfect for catching the PNW summer. So what do you do when you haven’t been home for a full year? Eat out at your favorite restaurants? Eat your favorite […]
Torres del Paine: Unlike Any Other
At this point in the journey we knew we were really into the wonders of Patagonia. There was no denying it that each day was filled with amazing views. When you’re surrounded by jagged snowy peaks, lush green forests, and empty windy roads, its hard not to be ecstatic about your road trip. We arrived […]
KIDS ONLY: Creatures from Chile and Argentina
I promised my younger readers I would post about the animals we’ve seen and here it is! Thus far we have traveled over 14,000 MILES in Chile and Argentina!!! This is an astounding statistic for me. (I could come up with so many math problems about it) Such a massive distance, we have covered so […]
State of The Rambles: 10 Months In
It’s been a while since we last posted. The adventures have been continuing and the photos are piling up. I feel a bit guilty we haven’t shared in so long. I’ve used this time to post more photos on our Instagram account, but also I needed a break from sharing outwardly to process what’s happening […]
Practicing to be Patagonian Paleontologists
We had an amazing opportunity. With good friends from back home. This is the kind of opportunity people DREAM of. Imagine a private trip to a remote and very special paleontological site and getting an in depth explanations of the flora and fauna fossils exposed in the exposed prehistoric sediments. Following scientists around and getting first […]

EASILY the most we’ve gotten in one day! I can’t wait to answer all your questions and comments. I’m excited to answer them […]
Missing Me Yet?
Before we left for our trip I had a hard time accepting that we were going to be so far away from family and friends AND for such a long time! This is compounded even more so because we’re both pretty family oriented people. We enjoy spending time with our families and chatting about the […]
Day 6 in The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
Today was a continuation of trying to diagnose Lola’s issues. So we didn’t really venture too far from the van…all the attention is on Lola right now! Translation: I got a chance to hole up with the mystery novel I’ve started and Todd went around to different parts shops and called our trusted Sprinter […]
Day 4 of The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
We woke up this morning and it was cold. I could see the snow on nearby peaks. This means I waited an extra 15 minutes to get out of bed, which is hard for me! During those 15 minutes I kept thinking about My first goal: Make Coffee!!! Breakfast: Once I got up, after coffee, I […]
