Miles driven: Vegas Strip to Jalama Beach County Park – 415 After driving through Death Valley (wow…how do people live there?!), it was an easy decision what our first activity in California would be: go to the beach. Unfortunately, our much anticipated drive along the Pacific Coast Highway was spoiled by massive forest fires in […]

…let that sit and marinate for a second.  Miles driven: Grand Canyon to Vegas Strip – 280  The plan all along was to drop Kiley off for a red eye flight Thursday evening, continue driving to California, and spend the night in Santa Barbara. Shortly after getting on the road from the Grand Canyon, Kiley started […]

Miles driven: Zion to Grand Canyon – 250 With the endless possibilities that planning a cross county road trip presents, one of the first “bucket list” items I put on the itinerary was watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Now, as embarrassing as it is to admit that this wish may have been inspired […]

Miles driven: Arches to Zion National Park – 340  Okay. First and foremost, Zion is incredible. Hands down one of the best national parks we’ve been to (since our total is now at two). That being said, I’m happy I’m alive. Kiley took the reigns on researching what hikes we should do in our less than […]

 Miles driven: Steamboat, CO to Moab, UT – 300 I’m going to sit down and articulate our Utah leg of this adventure in writing soon, but until then, here’s a peek at our evening hike through Arches National Park out to the Delicate Arch. We left about an hour before sunset, and the colors were […]

Miles driven: St. Louis, MO to Evergreen, CO – 870 On Thursday, we drove from St. Louis to Denver. It was a twelve and half hour drive that felt surprisingly quick. At this point, it’s only our second long day of driving so far, and we aren’t sure if we should feel proud of how […]

 Miles driven: Nashville to St. Louis – 315 When traveling through St. Louis, Missouri, it’s obvious what you’re supposed to do: visit the arch. The Gateway to the West…an obvious stop on our trip, well, west. After a morning in Nashville and a four and a half hour drive through Kentucky and Illinois (which felt […]

Miles driven: Maybe 10? Back and forth form our cottage to downtown Nashville Tuesday was a “bucket list” kind of day. I’ve been dreaming of visiting Nashville for a while now. Not only was it a logical stop in the central-ish part of the country on our drive out west, but it is also an […]

Miles driven: Greenwich to Nashville – 930 Fourteen hours in the car. Let that sit and marinate for a second. Neither Randi nor I had ever attempted a car ride of that length in one straight shot before. But, why not dive in head first on this road trip and do our longest drive on Day […]
