Most of the travel I have done in my life has been by car. My childhood was spent taking road trips in the summer with my parents and two older brothers and camping in a "pop up" camper. The places we visited were historical sites and national parks, which can mostly be contributed to the fact that my father was a history teacher and my mother had grown up traveling in the same way. These vacations are some of the most vivid memories I have of my childhood. I recall waking up early and hitting the road at dawn. Within a day I could be running up mountain trails in Colorado or splashing in a river in Tennessee. I can directly attribute my love of travel to these early trips. I would look forward to these trips all school year and as the time approached even highlight maps and pick out campground from hefty directories.

Throughout my childhood and into my college years I continued to travel. Never having much money, my trips again, where usually just road trips. I can't claim that I have been to the far corners of the world, or even out of the country much. What I do have are my experiences that have driven me through small seaside towns in Florida to Glacier National park on the Canadian border. There is as much to see and do as well as learn about yourself traveling in this country as there is any other. This blog is a source for me to share my stories of travel that for the most part have occurred a little bit closer to home. While I want and plan to travel to more destinations all over the world I think there is much to be learned and loved from what is accessible at the time.
