An adventure through the states
Discussions Afoot The idea was conceived in the chilly months of November and December, being unsatisfied with the shape our lives were taking, a big change was needed. Naturally, we went through the usual emotions and thoughts, searching for sensible, typical ways forward. There seemed little out there to inspire and nothing we thought about …
Fifty States later and 22,838 miles driven we’ve completed what we set out to do, here we are at the end, the finish line. What a journey it has been for us adventures! On A Personal Level It’s been said that this trip has been amazing, incredible, once in a lifetime but I would …
Yesterday’s packing stretched long into the night before we both collapsed on the bed and decided to watch the F1 that we’d missed to wind down. Today was going to be an extremely busy day. We were both feeling hopeful and looking forward to spending the day in the city. We felt quite sad whilst …
Last night after gaining some much needed energy and spirit from family we headed off towards Boston, so we could be in the right place for remaining couple of days of the trip. After about two and a half hours of driving, and with another thirty minutes to go, we had a look into what …
We started out in a town called Plainfield, today’s challenge was firstly to navigate our way to Stamford before making it back to Boston for the night. We’ve found Conneticut a very leafy green and beauty area to drive through, because of the narrow ‘country’ lanes it does remind us somewhat of home, and is …
With a whirlwind few days left we set off this morning towards Rhode Island, which requires a drive through Massachusetts, technically making Conneticut our last state. At this point we’ve decided not to count this state as visited until we go to Boston, this will also be where we fly out off on our journey …
Arriving back in New Hampshire last night was an exciting feeling, after our activity today that will leave us with only three states left before hitting the big five-0. Who would have thought our journey would be nearly over? Not to disappoint in our last few days here, the glorious sunshine has made an appearance, streaming …
Finally we’ve arrived in Maine! Whilst we’ve been on the states we’ve seen a fair amount of American TV in the evenings, often enjoying the Discovery channel and Animal Planet. There’s been a program that aired about the Fish and Game warden’s of Maine, so we’ve been looking forward to seeing if it looks anything …
After a couple of days enjoying the scenery from the truck it was time to have some fun! Today’s activity was one of our more unusual picks, but perfectly understandable 😉 Tired from the driving we decided to take it easy and casually enjoy a tour of Vermonts most famous chocolate factory: Lake Champlain Chocolates …
Day 121 – New York State We couldn’t stop talking about the fantastic day we had yesterday, and today brought us a beautiful drive through the rest of New York state, which as it turns out is huge! It’s quite a lot different from the New York you see on TV and identify with. It’s lush, …
These last couple of days have been immense! We mainly spent day 119 driving from Ohio to New York state, via Pennsylvania. Having made it back into New York means that although Ben didn’t drive in New York City, he will still be able to say he has driven in all fifty states once our …
After seeing some of Detroit yesterday and meeting some locals as we checked in, we decided this morning to grab lunch in the area before heading off. It turned out to be an interesting journey where we were further able to explore the suburbs and enjoy the typical quaint houses found in America. We lunched …
Leaving our lodge this morning, we were still a little tired from last night, but still had an active drive in store, no rest for the wicked as they say! To get the most out of Michigan we obviously needed to visit Detroit, but first it was time to go through Hell and back… After another …
