The First 3,000 Miles

We’re coming up on a month of road tripping and have logged our first 3,000 miles touring around the Eastern United States. 


Since our Memorial Day post, we’ve enjoyed stays in Maine, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Excepting for three nights of tenting in Pisgah National Forest in Asheville, NC we’ve stayed with family and friends throughout our road trip to date.


A few highlights from our U.S. tour:

Kid friends in Maine.
Adult friends too!
Getting spoiled by Aunt Cathy, Sammy, and family.
Maine lobster!


Catching Great-grandma's 93rd birthday.
Lawn games and scavenger hunts with Grandma and Grandpa.
Feeding the calves fingers in Lancaster.
Dirt bike riding with Uncle Pete . . .

. . . and with cousins too.
Trying to figure out how to survive the falls in a barrel.
Cardboard creativity with cousins at Nana's house.
Fourth generation model train conductors.
Soaking up sun with friends by the pool in Tennessee.
Making s'mores while tenting in Pisgah National Forest in Asheville, NC.
In under a week, we'll depart family in Kentucky to visit a sibling in Iowa and arrive at our final family stop in Colorado. From there we'll be on to a big camping tour of the western states. Want to meet up with us in a National Park this summer? Drop us a line. We plan to add a lot more highlights over the next few months.

Including some unexpected moments that defy captioning. . . .
