Day 3449 – TBT To Our 2013 Road Trip

Posted on by

Five years ago today, we were starting our 2013 road trip across the country. In some ways, I wish we were making the drive again this year. I love the freedom of the drive and having a car the whole time.

But I have to say, arriving the same day via plane is pretty nice. This year we’re renting a car the whole time, which is the first time we’ve done so.

This was also the trip where I wore my Ravens jersey for a few days straight, pretty sure it stood up on its own…

We just got back from a weekend away in Canada and what an amazing time it was! The drive was utterly breathtaking since most of it was through peaking leaves. I’ll blog more in-depth later, but for now, here’s us at Parliament in Canada! It was one of the places I really wanted to see while we were there and I’m so glad we were able to fit it in.

Wooooo doggie, what a trip! It included pigging out and eating almost an entire (small) cheesecake, an unexpected nude beach, breathtaking views (see below) from the Long Island Lighthouse, one of the best meals and bar experiences we’ve ever had, a super fun (and dusty) concert with Thrice, and great conversations. Stay tuned for more pictures and stories!

Day 3251 – Happy Birthday To My Road Trip Book!

Wowie, I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I published my book, Planning an Epic Road Trip on any Budget! (this is an affiliate link, which just means if you buy it or something else on Amazon, I’ll get a small percentage.)

This was by far the easiest book to write and definitely the most enjoyable. I can’t wait to see where this book and the experiences I’ve had since will take me. (Stay tuned, hopefully soon, for my next project!)
