We would never be able to have stayed with this career for three years without the support of loving families and giving friends. During our most recent visit to Virginia those amazing Campbells let us borrow a car! Yeah drove to meet up and lent us a car. I recall that one of Josh's buddies... Continue Reading →
Virginia is For Lovers, Beer Lovers
The saying "Local Beer Tastes Better" is emblazoned across the back of a t-shirt at Blue Mountain Brewing Company. It's hard to get excited about the love of micro-brewing around here. I'm starting to feel like this is less a philosophy and more of a way of life in Virginia. Each trip we have had... Continue Reading →
Healthy Choice Meals – Travel Tuesday
While each little town we visit is unique they are not all equal. Take Franklin for example, we had no trouble finding savory and healthy places to eat. Unfortunately this is not the norm, more often than not our dinner choice is fried, fast or heavy. The major chain restaurants have calorie counts that would... Continue Reading →
Do Not Disturb
It seems that when staying at hotels you're always doing a dance with the housekeeping staff. Trying to get ready without being bothered but not making them come back to make up the room. We usually put up the Do Not Disturb on the door of an evening and remove it once we've departed. Hoping... Continue Reading →
The Gift of a Letter
Down time for me is very precious on this tour but so are my friendships. I often write on here about the wonderful visits we have with friends and family all over the country and my Sunday posts serve as a reminder of where we are going to be that week. It's not easy maintaining... Continue Reading →
Get Me Outta Here
After seven days in New Orleans I was getting stir crazy and ready to roll on. Even changing hotels a few times didn't help! What has happened to me, I'm ruined, will sedentary life ever work for me again? When we take off for two weeks at Christmas I'm always ready to head back by... Continue Reading →
Pure Michigan
I'm back in civilization now after spending a week celebrating "Pure Michigan". If you had followed us around you would have been able to shoot all the footage needed for a new travel ad, it was also all girl power! I spent last week camping with my dear friend Robyn, from college. I've talked about... Continue Reading →
The Lyrics Ring True
Thought it would be fun to channel one of our favorite artists for this week's Travel Tuesday. I found the lyrics for Johnny Cash's I've Been Everywhere and thought it would be fun to see how many of the places in the song we have been too. The places in RED we have visited. So...

The Right Stuff
If you were going a six-month long trip how would you pack? How would you predict what events and happenings would be coming your way? How would you plan for the changing seasons? How would you plan for what hobbies might present opportunities out there, away from your stuff. That is the subject of today's... Continue Reading →
Hold Onto Your Bumper
Everyone thinks that the worst drivers live near them, well I'm here to tell you living on the road I know where the bad ones actually are. Nearly all East Coast city drivers hate trucks and try with all their might to run us off the road but that is in a Semi. The worst... Continue Reading →
