Seattle
July 2 - 3 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
Seattle was one of my favorite cities I got to see on this trip and I wish I had more time to explore on foot - it reminded me a lot of San Francisco with all the hills, cable cars, and vibe of the people on the street. We were given two perfect, cloudless mornings to traverse our route downtown before heading south into Oregon & California. Hoping I can make it back soon, Seattle is definitely worth a summertime visit.
Cowboy Country
June 23 - 28 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
The few days we spent driving across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho were beautiful - Wyoming blew me away. The air was crisp and so clear you could see for miles until the horizon. Even in late June patches of snow clung to the peaks and shoulders of the mountains. We took the scenic route between towns and made a few stops along the side of the road to get out, taste the mountain air, and walk around. It felt like time stood still gazing down into the valley, I didn't want to leave.
Detroit
June 8 - 9 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
Cruising through the surrounding streets of Detroit, MI, so much is overgrown, abandoned and dilapidated. You can tell the city really used to be something in it's prime - but now homes, businesses and storefronts are hollow shells of what they used to be. It's beautiful and sad.
Wilmington
June 5 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
An afternoon drive through Wilmington, a small, river-front city in eastern Delaware.
Philadelphia
June 4 - 5 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
We spent two days riding through urban and residential Philadelphia. I love the historic feel of downtown with the old, stone architecture. Neighborhoods are lined with painted brick townhouses and colorful doors protected by a patterned metal grates.
New York
June 3 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
We ate local pizza for lunch in a park in Queens, then worked our way into Manhattan late afternoon. People watching is always prime in the Big Apple.
