The final day of this trip! At this point, we’re just ready to make it home and see our cats again. This was probably the most boring day of the trip in terms of what we had planned, but also the most exciting since we were really looking forward to just getting back to the … Continue reading Day 72: Game Over
After being on the road for so long and then reaching areas on the east coast where we’ve been before, Kristie and I were ready to head home. The only problem is that we still had two more days left and two more states to hit. We decided to change our final itinerary which originally … Continue reading Day 71: East Coast Home Stretch
It was a very interesting morning for us. As we were packing up everything in the campground, a deer with four fawns walked through the back of the brush in our direction. The strangeness of this situation was twofold. Kristie thought it was odd that this deer would have four fawns to take care of. … Continue reading Day 70: The Lincoln Memorial Was Too Crowded
Since Charleston kind of sucked, we needed to do something a little more exciting while in West Virginia. Our inspiration came from the back of the West Virginia State quarter which advertised the New River Gorge Bridge. There wasn’t really too much to see when it came to it. In order to get to the … Continue reading Day 69: Chillin’ at Jefferson’s Crib
Since we got to Rob and Bill’s place late the night before, we were in no rush to leave. We had a wonderful quiche/omelet breakfast before heading out to explore Louisville. There isn’t too much I know about Louisville other than it’s the home of the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs, and of Louisville sluggers. Kristie … Continue reading Day 68: Horses and Bourbon
Pit and Brian said their goodbyes in the morning and just like that, it was down to Kristie and I for the final week of this trip. There was only one thing I wanted to do in Knoxville and that was to go visit the Wigsphere. It’s really the Sunsphere from the 1982 World Fair, … Continue reading Day 67: Kentucky Time Zones are Confusing
This was the last full day that Pit and Brian were on the trip with us. Since Brian doesn’t camp and we’ve spent the entirety of the time within cities, we decided it would be good to drive through the Great Smoky Mountains to at least expose Brian to some nature. We drove to Clingman’s … Continue reading Day 66: A Reunion of Tims
Asheville, NC was a surprisingly enjoyable little city. I went in knowing nothing about it other than that most of the food is locally sourced which means Kristie would love it. We started the day by doing laundry, but on the plus side it’s the last laundry day on our trip. As the laundry was … Continue reading Day 65: God’s Drink in Asheville
The original schedule for today had us spending the morning in Savannah and the night in Charleston, South Carolina. However, when I saw that one of my favorite bands, The Protomen, were playing in the town of Columbia (state capital of SC if you didn’t know), I knew I had to shuffle some plans around … Continue reading Day 64: The Protomen in South Carolina
Brian has never been to Universal/Disney before so this was an exciting day for him. We decided to go to old school Universal Studios since they have the new Harry Potter exhibit and ride. Since it’s a fairly new ride and there is such mania surrounding Harry Potter, we assumed the line for the new … Continue reading Day 63: Harry Potter and Flamin’ Moes
