Going to the Gorge | My First Camping+Concert Adventure

[@jl9480]

I love how much energy you put towards growing yourself in areas that make you uncomfortable. I know your kids are excited about the steps you’re taking to becoming less anxious so that you can be more active in their lives outside of the house. Play dates, parties, school field trips etc.

[@sharonm3283]

I am 75 and still travel but will not have enough time to get to all these beautiful places. Thank you for taking us along. Widowed I am lucky to have a sister and sister in law who will travel with me. Thank you Jen for being brave and traveling alone.

[@aknapp8403]

Yay! I’ve lived in Washington my whole life and it’s so fun to see you explore this beautiful state. The Gorge is my favorite venue. Watching a band you love while the sun sets over the Gorge is magical. Me and my husband have seen Dave there several times!

[@Joy-zf6cs]

I absolutely love this. Can’t believe there is anyone that doesn’t prefer this content over organizing a pantry. So much growth and adventure!

[@Paula-xp7ve]

I love your travel vlogs! And I loved that adorable little AirBNB. But what I love most is how you are normalizing the idea of traveling alone!! if it’s a woman: “she must have no friends,” “her family hates her,” “so lonely”…and on and on and on. People think they know everything about a person because they’ve seen a slice of their life online (y’all know who you are). So keep filming for all the introverts, older women, divorced women or those who just love to spend time alone. You got this girl. And MOST of us are in your corner. The internet is filled with articles and pages and blogs of women traveling solo. I’m over 70 and you’ve inspired me to write my bucket list. I may never leave my recliner, but the planning is exhilarating ❤

You said Snoqualmie perfectly..... I love how excited you are.

So much fun! Thank you for taking us on your amazing adventures💕

[@abbya8593]

Jen! I have been watching you for many, many years. This September was my first ever trip to the Gorge for LaborDave weekend. You actually passed my site in Premiere in this video. We were right next to the large Teepee tent! That weekend was an emotional and spiritual experience I could have never prepared for. I hope you had a mystical and magical 3 nights 🧡🌞🙏

[@thetravelouscrew]

Camping and a concert 😮 that’s definitely on my bucket list of things to do

[@tbelsom]

The trail scenery was so gorgeous!! I would need an ambulance at the end of it all, though!😅 So glad you’re having fun, Jen.

[@colleens6934]

😂😂😂😂😂 me too!!

[@idoallthethings]

Oh I'm so jealous! Been seeing DMB nearly every summer since high school (25 years!) and only in the Chicago/Wisconsin area. Would love to go to the Gorge! Can't wait to see your next video!

[@anaz9978]

Iam so happy for you Jen and i admire the courage you have to do these type of activities on your own, you are such a badass and have grown so much as a person. Keep it up

[@cynthia6055]

All beautiful Jen....thanks so much!!!! Happy Autumn and Happy weekend ahead!

[@Bk-uz3pk]

Happy Friday Jen ✌ Blue is taking you to fabulous places.

[@mikeleo1]

How's Winnie?

[@Christine-xh5og]

When I read The Gorge in your title, I immediately assumed you were going to see DMB!! My dream concert and venue! So happy to travel along with you!! ❤❤❤

[@WithWonder]

It was a dream come true for me! Hope you can get there someday. So so worth it ❤️

[@carolynstewart7961]

Jen, Although you are traveling solo, you are not alone. I am sure you can feel the energy of all your fellow and sister companions next to you and "Blue." Onward with love.

[@lakb45]

You ought to operate an AirBnB! You have creative taste and a practical sense of what people need.

[@SeattleKat99]

Hello from Seattle! Was excited to see this video pop up. So fun to see the adventure - thanks for sharing!!

You are just glowing Jen!!! ❤

Outstanding upload, this looks just amazing.😲

[@mgmatty22]

Love this!! Washington is my home and I love getting to see you fall in love with it!

[@farmtowngrl]

I love watching this! I live in Eastern Washington and your vlogs here have reminded of all the cool things we have here that I forget about. Love seeing you explore my state!

[@ThisRobinsNest]

So glad you're loving Washington State, there are so many wonderful areas to camp here! The Leavenworth area might be fun for you to try as well! I've seen Dave Matthews perform at the Gorge, good times! Happy Adventures to you!

[@jasminetaylor1916]

It's been a stressful morning so taking this lunch break and watching your video to change my mood they always relax me

So excited to watch this….

[@twobowsandabro1644]

Living vicariously through you...xx

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

What a clever idea to leave your car in Washington and travel back to it rather than having to drive back and forth each time from Illinois. I never would have thought of doing that, but it is a great idea.

[@nhudsonforever]

This is so cool I live 15 minutes from here. Glad you had a nice time.

[@WithWonder]

Gorgeous place!

[@lisahk100]

This was a fun one!

[@nicdarling12]

I love all of this! I’m originally from Seattle but have lived away for many years. I’ve seen Dave at the Gorge several times and camped once (in the rowdy section- which was kind of like a different universe haha). Really enjoying all your content and can’t wait to see the next one.

[@aledenra]

Jen I highly recommend the Yeti brand ice. I've got the same cooler as you do. The Yeti ice keeps everything cold for days! I'm going to a concert at The Gorge next weekend - can't wait!

[@tammykozoris1260]

I did it! I kept forgetting you have a patron so I subscribed today ❤️❤️❤️

[@lorihaley2292]

Looking better than ever. I love that yellow watch band!

Do you get a cheaper rate for leaving your car for extended periods of time? I've always wondered about this!

[@Rawd123]

Do it! My first was 2002, and this year will be our 14th Labour Dave Weekend! We just got our camping tickets today! So pumped.

[@Allthingsglamxo]

I’m so enjoying your travel videos! Enjoying them to the point I wanna visiting and camp at the places you’ve shared! Says a lot as I’m SO NOT a camper, more of a glamper!😂 On a serious note, truly wondering: you’ve mentioned several times throughout your series of videos that you travel as a way to cope with not being with your children. Would you mind sharing what you’re doing to learn/gain the necessary coping skills? I ask because my kids will soon leave for college and I’m already dreading it! Yes, I can travel but more importantly I think it may be best for me to learn how to cope, gain those coping skills as tomorrow, a nice nest egg in the bank, or health is ever guaranteed!

[@svarels]

Omg this was awesome! DMB is my favorite band and crossed SPAC off my list this year. I'm not brave enough to camp, maybe someday I will make it to the Gorge.

[@donnaw1306]

That is so awesome. One of my friends went there as well this year. Her photos looked so cool.

[@Findingpeaceontheroad]

My son and friends were there at the George in the more rowdy area lol! Isn’t it so cool!
