Going to the Gorge | My First Camping+Concert Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- I couldn’t stay away from beautiful Washington State for long! I returned for a long planned adventure to camp and go to a weekend-long concert event at the Gorge to see the Dave Matthews Band. This has long been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint! In this video I share about my journey to the Gorge, including spending a night at the cutest airbnb in Seattle, an amazing hike complete with an alpine lake swim (another bucket list item checked off!), and heading through the desert landscape of central Washington to check in and set up camp at the Gorge Campground. Stay tuned for more from this adventure, coming soon! Thanks for watching ❤︎

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.
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.
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!
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 ❤
Well said!

@@giselaglo864 Doesn’t look that way at all to me!
@@giselaglo864 how awful does it make you feel good to say that why do you watch her if that’s how hateful you are. You feel good about yourself you must be very unhappy yourself
@@jeannemc8087 but Jen has even said she doesn’t have friends and she has also hinted about losing some of her family.
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!
Yay! So exciting you saw them at the Gorge. Love seeing your adventures.
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 🧡🌞🙏
So much fun! Thank you for taking us on your amazing adventures💕
Camping and a concert 😮 that’s definitely on my bucket list of things to do
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.
😂😂😂😂😂 me too!!
All beautiful Jen....thanks so much!!!! Happy Autumn and Happy weekend ahead!
How's Winnie?
Happy Friday Jen ✌ Blue is taking you to fabulous places.
You said Snoqualmie perfectly..... I love how excited you are.
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!
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
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!
Love me some DMB and The Gorge is on my bucket list!!
Love this!! Washington is my home and I love getting to see you fall in love with it!
So excited to watch this….
Hello from Seattle! Was excited to see this video pop up. So fun to see the adventure - thanks for sharing!!
I’m loving this series!
Me too!
Outstanding upload, this looks just amazing.😲
You ought to operate an AirBnB! You have creative taste and a practical sense of what people need.
Fun how hyper you were at start, wondered how come until you shared. Love your chat.
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.
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!! ❤❤❤
It was a dream come true for me! Hope you can get there someday. So so worth it ❤️
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!
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!
It's been a stressful morning so taking this lunch break and watching your video to change my mood they always relax me
This was a fun one!
Living vicariously through you...xx
Loved.
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.
Looking better than ever. I love that yellow watch band!
My son and friends were there at the George in the more rowdy area lol! Isn’t it so cool!
You are just glowing Jen!!! ❤
What wonderful vlog wooow i am so happy your enjoyed you life…so proud of you jen🎉🎉🎉
This is so cool I live 15 minutes from here. Glad you had a nice time.
Gorgeous place!
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.
I did it! I kept forgetting you have a patron so I subscribed today ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, amazing video of the Pacific Northwest. What an amazing presentation. Can't wait to see how much fun you had at the concert. Your whole playlist of Washington State has been very impressive.
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!
That is so awesome. One of my friends went there as well this year. Her photos looked so cool.
❤ 😊 Loving this!
Enjoyed this great video thumbs up all the way up
Do you get a cheaper rate for leaving your car for extended periods of time? I've always wondered about this!
You've got the same color 4runner I've got. I plan to get TRD wheels too
She’s a beaut 😍
I loved it all
Good times
Oh boy that Trader Joe’s grocery bag is like a clown car..... never ending! Love your travels and love that you sound so positive!
This looks like so much fun! I could definitely do this by myself. The wheels are turning.
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.
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.
Do they let anyone in with water jugs?
Super cool.
Your saying them all correct better than most people who come to Washington.
I'm loving these adventures! I'm confused how ur car gets places when you fly? X
Great videos love watching your Channel 😊
You said all the cities right! I live right near the Gorge.
Oh great! I’m notorious for mispronunciation things despite my best efforts so I always doubt myself😅
Some of the best food can be found at shakedown st after concerts. Nothing like a $1 grill cheese at 1am
Thanks Jen :-)

What happened to your two little kids? You were married for a while then had your babies, then divorced and now you seem to be living a single life of an adventurer? Something doesn't add up 🤔
I don’t share about them online much anymore because the internet is intense. But I’m still very much a mom! I travel when they’re with their Dad. What you see here is just a little bit of my life 🙂
I think they live with Don and his new family now. I'm sure they are safe and very happy.
@@cristalee3448 also a mother who loves them very much too! Lucky kids 🎉
@@cristalee3448 and @Lln w are Don and his new family on UA-cam as well? I have been wondering what happened to him and would like to watch if they are.
No matter where we are in the world we run into someone from Wisconsin. 🙂
You got snoqualmie pass correct
When are you coming to Boise Idaho?
I’m confused. How do you fly in somewhere but also have your car?
The way I understand it...she leaves her vehicle at the airport..flies home...flies back to her vehicle...when she's ready for next adventure on the west coast..hope that helps.
Snoqualmie said correctly!
😊❤️
I live in Washington and you pronounced “Snoqualmie” right!
Jen is so beautiful :) get me some of that
@@cristalee3448 He is probably a 🧁 lady
Disrespectful
@@Paula-xp7ve dang Paula this is rude. Are you insinuating that Jen can’t get a real man? Lol yikes
@@jl9480 ahhhhhh😂🤣😂🤣😂
Nick have you tried to ask her out yet? Come on and spill the tea!
