Groundhog Day Adventures in Punxsutawney

Editor's Note: This is our first post in over a year! We have lots saved up to share with you. The past year has been a trying one, with some chronic disease showing its face and really throwing me for a loop. I have lots of post ideas saved up, though, and I am excited to get back to sharing our travels -- and to traveling! This one is from a road trip we took from North Dakota to New York (and...

Georgia: A Day out at the Children's Museum of Atlanta

The Children's Museum of Atlanta is downtown, across from Olympic Park and World of Coke. If you're visiting Atlanta with kids, it is a must visit! Our first stop needed to be this Quiet Space. Walking into the museum was a little bit overwhelming for Bria, so we had to find a quiet corner to acclimate in. We were thankful for this great space to do that! Once she was settled in, we went...

The Tale of the Rogue Suitcase (Sometimes Things Just Go Wrong)

Traveling is filled with wonder and beauty, new amazing experiences and so much variety. Unfortunately, things don't always go exactly as planned. This week, we thought we'd share one of those stories, the times where things didn't go quite the way we hoped. You know the feeling - it's been a long trip, and you're on the very last leg. At this point, you can practically see your destination. I don't...

Washington State: Exploring Coastal Bellingham

Bellingham is a beautiful coastal city on Washington state's I-5 corridor, 90 miles from Seattle and 25 miles from the Canadian border. With this amazing location, it is no surprise they are best known for the Ski to Sea race, an event held each May. Teams of eight compete in a seven-leg, 101 mile course that brings them from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay. It's seriously exciting stuff, and indicative...

Tennessee: An Elvis Fan Visits Graceland

http://www.graceland.com/news/details/take-the-elvis-week-instagram-challenge/7812/ "It's Elvis!" our five-year-old daughter, Bria, squeals, reminiscent of his hordes of screaming fans. It doesn't matter that he passed away before her mother was born. Our little girl is a great big Elvis fan. So when our road trip was taking us through Tennessee, one point on our itinerary was abundantly clear....

Florida: Ponce Inlet Lighthouse

Our GPS is set for home, but as we say good-bye to our sweet friends in Melbourne, Florida (and thank them for opening their home to us these past few weeks), there is still a lot of country to see before we land in our beds in North Dakota. Three girls on a road trip, so many possibilities for things to see! We started out with some searches - National Parks, historical sites, roadside marvels...

South Carolina: Mice on Main Scavenger Hunt

I love road trips. One of my favorite things about road trips is adventuring off the usual path and finding what makes a community interest. Greenville, South Carolina is a pretty little downtown with a fun, quirky feature - the Mice on Main, a scavenger hunt for nine tiny bronze mice hidden along Main Street. Possibly the coolest senior project ever, the Mice on Main are the work of a...

Jamaica: Deep Sea Fishing

Guest Post by Justin Parkinson On Friday, our last full day on our Jamaican adventure, after a morning at the Blue Hole, we set out onto the Caribbean Sea on a deep sea fishing trip. We booked a four hour adventure with Ocho Rios Deep Sea Fishing. Personally, I could gladly have cut it from the itinerary, not being even vaguely interested in fishing. But I'm glad I didn't. The trip was...
