Mammoth Cave was our final National Park of the road trip and was one of the most difficult. We opted to forgo the traditional tours and instead we spent 6 hours crawling, climbing, squeezing, and contorting ourselves on the spelunking-style Wild Cave Tour. Day 126 December 6, 2014 Mileage 16463 – 16642 Our day started…
Nashville was a city I was excited to visit because I always hear wonderful things about it. Unfortunately for us, several items were working against us; the winter weather, our tight schedule, and exhaustion as we neared the end of our trip. Day 125 December 5, 2014 Mileage 16250 – 16463 We arrived in Nashville…
I took an instant liking to Chattanooga, where we were able to spend one very enjoyable evening catching up with old college friends. Day 124 December 4, 2014 Mileage 16060 – 16250 We didn’t have much time in Chattanooga, but enjoyed the time we had. Driving into Chattanooga, it seemed, like a lot of American…
Once I saw that Marisa was jumping in for a guest post, I of course, had to join her. Thanks so much to Alexis and Jon for opening up their lives, their trip and their blog to all the friends along the way and still to come. It’s about a three and a half hour…
Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we made the best of our time in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The tree covered mountains felt like the closed to our home terrain since starting our journey. Days 123 – 124 December 3 – December 4, 2014 Mileage 15880 – 16060 We arrived to the south of…
Our short time in North Carolina was about one thing; visiting family. Instead of our normal sight seeing and city dining, Jon and I enjoyed a little relaxation and a lot of great home cooking and conversation. Days 121 – 123 December 1 – December 3, 2014 Mileage 15455 – 15880 We bypassed most of the…
For us, Charleston was only a quick stop; however, we got to experience the beautiful southern charm of the city and some absolutely delicious soul food. Days 120 – 121 November 30 – December 1, 2014 Mileage 15170 – 15455 Jon and I arrived in Charleston after sunset on Sunday evening. Using Trip Adviser and Yelp,…
Jon and I realized we’d be in Florida where my sister lives for Thanksgiving. We talked with my parents and soon had a beach condo rented in Crescent Beach outside of St. Augustine where the family would meet for the holiday. Days 116 – 120 November 26 – November 30, 2014 Mileage 14770 – 15170 Jon…
We don’t usually do previews of our post, but yesterday Jon and I took the Wild Cave tour at Mammoth Cave National Park. Although it is highly advised against bringing a camera, because of the fine dirt in the cave and physicality of the tour, I did anyway. I even lost the camera once! Luckily…
Everglades National Park was always intended more to preserve wildlife than to preserve scenery like most other parks. During our one night visit, this became obvious. Day 115 – 116 November 25 – November 26, 2014 Miles 14591 – 14770 After leaving the Florida Keys, we drove straight to Everglades National Park, arriving around 2pm at the…
