We did it…We really did it! YIKES!!!!!

• by desiertog

It’s funny. I have been going through life thinking there is only one way to live. Technology in our generation challenges us to think differently and that is what I am learning through this journey to Travel America.

Wow, we finally did it! We did it! I knew that we would do it!

This was a journey, funny to think that just buying the RV was a journey. But it was. Of course, there were so many emotions around the purchase, but the most difficult step was to embrace the unknown.

Virginia Beach, Poseidon was in good spirits!

• by Garrett Tershel

This was an unexpected stop and a great one. We only had the day and then we moved on but we really enjoyed the area.

Let's go for a bike ride in DC!

• by Garrett Tershel

If you only have one day to see DC and you have kids I highly recommend you do it on bikes. We were able to see so many places and it would not have been possible without the bikes.

Philadelphia, PA in 7 hours

• by Garrett Tershel

It was the first city I wish we had more time to explore but we had three goals in Philadelphia, see Independence Hall, The Franklin Museum and leave with enough time to get to Washington, DC and continue driving south toward Auburn, AL. We accomplished all of those things, saw the Liberty Bell and the kids earned another Junior Ranger Badge.

Boston, walking the Freedom Trail

• by Garrett Tershel

Boston, the heart of a revolution. When planning our trip, this was one of the important stops we wanted to make. Walking the freedom trail was an experience we wanted to allow our children to have in order to understand the importance of our country's independence.

Salem, MA A town of two tales.

• by Garrett Tershel

Salem was a fascinating place, a town of two tales.

Plymouth, MA the beginning of something special!

• by Garrett Tershel

Our walk around the town of Plymouth. The Mayflower II, Plymouth Rock and Lyden St. where the original village was located.

Plimoth Plantation, a living museum.

• by Garrett Tershel

On our trip around the East Coast, historical sites have been a focus. We hope to complete a better understanding of history by reading the stories of history then visiting the original sites. Plimoth Plantation was our next stop.

Mystic Friends...

• by Garrett Tershel

We ended up spending the day at Mystic Seaport. At first I thought the place was a little pricey but we choose to spend the day anyway and I am glad to report it was well worth the price.

Wow it's cold.

Fallingwater, Bear Run PA

• by Garrett Tershel

As soon as we talked about going on a trip and the trip would be east from Chicago, Fallingwater was going to be our first stop. The Frank Lloyd Wright house, the most famous house ever built, redefined what a residential home could be. I had high exceptions and it exceeded every one of them. The true mark of something great, it is better in person.
