Sara and I have talked for a couple years about making a trip up to the Pacific Northwest and into British Columbia. Once Emery came along, those dreams did not go away. We have also separately had many discussions about renting a campervan and going on some kind of road trip. All of these thoughts came together this summer as we put together a plan to vacation out to the PNW, rent a VW Westfalia and road trip from Seattle up to Whistler, BC stopping anywhere we felt drawn to in between.

We were both a bit nervous about the undertaking and logistics of flying across the country with Emery and then living in a van for 10 days...but guess what, it was an awesome experience. We made memories that we will have forever and Emery got to visit Canada as a 16 month old. It took me 31 years.

We rented our van from outdoorsy.com. It is a rental experience similar to Airbnb but all types of RV rentals rather than homes. It was an incredibly easy experience and one I would highly recommend. This is the exact van that we rented for anyone interested: Wally.
