Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
Today started with another five and a half hours of driving. It turns out Florida is a damn long way from Denver. I guess we knew that, but actually driving it is another matter. Thankfully, we’re here now! Palm Beach, FL. We checked into Kimpton #4 of the trip right about 2 this afternoon and […]
Read More Rock & RollToday has been a very boring day. We sat in the sat in the car. I am so antsy. When we get to the hotel we are going to have driven for 12 hours. I could jump out of the car do a cartwheel and then walk to Florida. Ellie did that once. We finished a […]
Read More A Boring DayWe drove for 11 hours today. The first 9 went pretty smoothly, but there was a point at the start of the hour ten where I asked Mol half seriously if this was the spot where we should drop the girls off. It was a bit ironic because only about 15 minutes before we hit […]
Read More Stickshifts and SafetybeltsIf you read the title of this post you might be thinking, “Geez, those two places are really far apart from each other.” And they are! We can all attest to that after today. It was an eleven hour car ride, but we lost an hour so our minds and the clocks think it was […]
Read More Day 32: St. Louis to FL/GA BorderSt. Louis. Zak and I have been here at least a dozen times, in fact he even asked me to marry him in a darling gazebo in a cute town right outside the city. It really is a great place and we’ve always had a blast, and today was the same. (Although no one is leaving […]
Read More Day 31: The City MuseumWe’re back in Illinois! After 31 days on the road we’re back to the state we live in. It was an awesome journey out west, so awesome that driving through suburban St. Louis was a bit unnerving. It was actually pretty weird recognizing every chain store. The trees and landscape could just as easily have […]
Read More Should’ve Said NoToday was a long day of sitting in the car. We made the trip from Denver to Kansas City in only 8.5 hours, which isn’t too bad. We enjoyed a couple cups of Kimpton coffee, but didn’t really have much time to linger. It’ll be nice to enjoy it with our morning paper next time […]
Read More Kansas CityToday we drove 10 hours. There is not much to write about so Ellie and I are going to write one together. Today was a long driving day. We entertained ourselves by listening to Walk in the Woods Audio book and playing on our tablets and game boys. A Walk in the Woods is a […]
Read More The 29 Day; A Big Driving DayWe drove something like 9 hours today. Not much happened, but I’ll share a handful of highlights. 1. We woke up in Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco in Denver. That’s not just a highlight of the day, but really of a lifetime. We love these hotels so much. We aren’t exclusively loyal to much other than Trader […]
