36 hours in Spokane Washington

Hey guys, I hope you are all well. I am running a bit behind on my posts because life has been extremely busy. But I wanted to ensure I got my last two uploads on YouTube posted here. So here is how it went in March; 36 hours in Spokane, Washington Part 1 and 2.

It was extremely cold, but I got to eat some really good food and see the Spokane Waterfalls, which was top on my list of things to see. When I go back again, I will try to go when it is warmer weather so that I can fully enjoy all that Spokane has to offer.

Escape the Summer Heat | Long Beach, Washington | Road/Day Trip

Hey all, we are well into autumn; leaves are changing, the consistent rain has arrived here in the PNW (Pacific Northwest). However, before I fully embrace autumn, I must relive my last family summer 2021 road/day trip .

Me and my loves ready to travel

We had some pretty toasty days this summer in the Portland Oregon Metro area. Several days at a time we were well into the 100’s. And of course, what better way to try to escape the summer heat in this area than to retreat to the beach.

In this video, my family and I try to escape the summer heat of the Portland, Oregon Metro area heatwave of 2021 and take a short road trip to Long Beach, Washington. I love Long Beach because you can drive your vehicle on the beach. One of my favorite places to be is on the beach or by the water listening to the wave. Join us for this short road trip to the beach as we bid farewell to the summer.

Day/Road Trip to Mount Saint Helens

QUICK UPDATE

Hey all, I hope you are doing well. Quick update. I change the name of my YouTube channel from Cook Eat Enjoy to Gloriousgal Living: Food, Travel, Life. The name change reflects the evolvement of my content and stays on brand with the name. So same channel just a different name.

TRAVEL LOCALLY

So, this summer, my family and I took a few local day/road trips. We didn’t go too far, as we are still trying to be travel cautious which gives us the opportunity to explore our own backyard.

ROAD TRIP TO MOUNT SAINT HELENS

In this vlog, my family and I take a day trip/road trip to Mount Saint Helens in Washington State. It is about an hour and a half to 2-hour drive from the Portland metro area.

The views are incredible, and if you like hiking or walking, there is plenty of that.

This was a challenging trip for me because I was in a right knee brace during this time, but I didn’t let that stop me from driving on this road trip and enjoying all the new sights as we saw different angles of Mountain Saint Helens on our drive up.

I hope you enjoy our little day trip/road trip adventure to Mount Saint Helens in Washington State and inspire you to travel around your own state and surrounding areas. Until Next time remember to Cook, Eat, Enjoy Travel, Live and Repeat.

Post Solo Road Trip Update

So my Vegas solo road trip vlogs have come to a close. Thanks so much for being a part of my road trip adventure. The Post Road Trip vlog is now live:

solo road trip update YouTube video

My journey had a few detours and bumps, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I was super nervous about doing this trip alone, but I am all about doing it scared; I learned a lot about myself. Besides, if I stopped living every time I am scared, I would be dead!

Don’t let fear stop you from living, do it scared. Don’t let being alone stop you from going, go by yourself. I promise, not only will you find out a lot about yourself, but you will learn that you can be your own best friend and that you love your own company some times. You will learn that traveling and seeing the world around you is life changing, fun and very rewarding.

Solo Road Trip to Vegas | Day 3 | Meeting up with my Best Friend

Hey All, welcome back to my Solo Road Trip Adventure. In this episode I finally reach my destination of Las Vegas, Nevada. Along the way, I experienced beauties both natural and man-made, some I wish I had more time to experience and explore, but now I have something to look forward to on my next solo road trip to the area.

As a summary, after staying the night in Bakersfield, California and eating a great Po Boy, I set off about 8 a.m. to reach Vegas by 1:00 p.m. to pick my Bestie up from the airport.

Along the way I stopped on the side of the road to get a distant view of the Mojave Air and Space Port in Kern County California.

Did You Know that the Mojave Desert is consider the smallest of the deserts in the United States, stretching 43,750 square miles between southeastern California and southern Nevada, with small parts also in Utah and Arizona!

The Mojave is so beautiful. I would not have expected there to be such beauty in the desert, however, it is not desolate like one would think a desert would be. But to behold such natural beauties as well as man-made wonders… more on that later.

If you would like to see how the 3rd day of my Solo Trip turned out, check out the Vlog on my YouTube Channel: Cook Eat Enjoy. And be sure to Like and Subscribe while you are there to keep up with my food and travel adventures. Also check out my Online Store for some awesome gear.

Finally making it to Las Vegas, for the second time in my life, to see my bestie that I haven’t physically been in the presence of for over 5 years was a blast, but I will get into that next time. But our first meal together was at the Still in The Mirage. The food was great.

Until Next Time, Remember to Cook, Eat, Enjoy, Travel, Live and Repeat!!!

Glo On The Go: Solo Road Trip to Vegas Day 1

It is finally time to hit the road on my first Solo Road Trip to Vegas and I am so excited. I have had the wanderlust bug for some time now, but had to put things on hold like the rest of the world. But, now is the time for me to get my feet wet again and begin my Solo Road Trip Adventures with the first being this trip from the Portland, Oregon metro area to Las Vegas, Nevada by way of California.

I think I have said before that I am a gypsy, one who grew up traveling. But with raising kids and make sure my family was taken care of, I have gotten away from my passions and lost myself. Welp the kids are much bigger, self-sufficient for the most part, so it is time to go and let my wanderlust thrive and grow. Time to Solo trip and find and indulge in my passions.

Follow along as I hit the road on my first Solo Road Trip. And to keep with my journey, consider subscribing to my YouTube Channel. Also, check out my Store for some awesome gear with more to come.
