367 Days. 26,474 Miles. 72 Stops. 36 States. Four humans living in a tin box is quite the psychology experiment. How on earth did we not kill each other? Yes, I did drink more frequently! But still, I can’t believe we pulled it off! Together, we left our comfort zone and we did it in...
Last state, state of mind. I can’t think of a better way to wrap up this trip than with family. It is surreal that after 4 1/2 years (3 1/2 years of planning) the adventure is winding down. I have so much to say about it, but that will be another post (or ten). This...
Arizona, I love you, but I can’t take your heat. Beautiful landscapes, fun critters and insanely cool flowering cacti. We will be back when you cool down. Catalina/Tucson: Memorial Day weekend was spent with two of my favorite people, Penny and Howard! Lots of “grillin & chillin”, riding their side by side up steep stone...
New Mexico is a cool state! It has an awesome variety of things to do and see! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend time in the northern part of the state, but the southern half did not disappoint! “I survived Highway 285” should be printed onto a t-shirt. I would have bought one! The 285...
God Bless Texas! I love this state, always have. This time, the range of emotions were high here as our family suffered great loss and personal achievement. Emotions that proved to be a vivid reminder that this is not a vacation but “life on the road”. DALLAS: Dallas was a tough stop, we had to...
Not a lot of brain-power being used by drivers in Louisiana. STUPID drivers, not just “bad” drivers, but there is an obvious lacking in the “good-judgement” department. Oy, glad to be off those roads! Though, minus all the cars on the side of the highway, the drive into Texas was beautiful! Life is chaotic when...
Only in Tennessee do you walk into a Camping World store for RV-friendly toilet paper to find a band playing! We spent the last four weeks “doing Tennessee” and the best part was, we didn’t do it alone! Colleen (aka Aunt Funness) flew out to Pigeon Forge and rode in the Wave with us to...
“Can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning” – the unofficial theme of Florida. This was the furthest from home that the journey will take us. Each stop from now on will now bring us closer to home. The 2-months we spent in Florida was refreshing. Snowbirds know what they are doing!...
This trip confirmed, once again, it’s the people you are with, not the location at which you park your house that makes for a great time. This stop we got to see my mom and Curtis, Carly, Luke and Eli (aka Sugar Shoes). Eli earned the nickname by walking around Disney World with sugar packets...
The last two weeks have been amazing. We took a break and switched to “vacation mode”! With some of our family flying in, Disney World, Universal, our hotel and my birthday, these last few weeks have been great! Definitely some of my favorite places so far! My family came to visit and they all made...
