An adventure through the states
A mammoth day was in store for us today, not only did we have a long drive but a pretty awesome activity planned in the evening. When I say we have an activity planned it’s usually something we decided to do that very morning. We’ve been pretty spontaneous on this trip and I feel it’s …
It seems somebody heard my wish and the weather has cleared up! We are glad the warmer weather is back in town and we are super excited for today! We are switching our recent string of boating/water events for some racing! For those of you who don’t know Ben’s always been an Formula 1 fan, …
Today’s journey saw us head away from Kentucky towards Indianapolis, it’s now time for us to head north, and eventually to the north east portion of the country. It’s a rainy day seeing temperatures of only around 10c (50f), it seems anything with Louis in the name provides us with showers and heading through Louisville, Kentucky …
Last night we managed to make our way to a town called Marion in Illinois before stopping, we hoped today to reach Kentucky. There was still quite a long drive to go, so it was uncertain if we’d make it in time to complete an activity today. We kept our fingers crossed in hope of …
The Journey today would be a long but scenic one, some 318 miles took us from Missouri back into the southern portion of Illinois before the days end. Having already had a day at the arcades in Missouri and a day boating in Chicago, Illinois. We have no plans other than to get the miles …
After a very disturbed nights sleep the day begun with a rather unusual activity in Kansas. A short drive away in the town of Topeka, where we’re were staying was a chance to be involved in a mystery game! We were taking part in an adventure, which left us locked in a room together attempting …
During these couple of days we were intending to enjoy the sights of Iowa, however for this part of the Journey the weather decided to be a bit difficult! Forcing us to drive in near constant thunderstorms. Although nowhere near as bad as the storms we battled through back in Louisiana it was still to wet …
After a hectic day yesterday we were excited to wake up just outside the great city of Chicago, and pleased to be staying in the same accommodation for two nights. Today’s plans involved a boat tour around the city, something a little unusual and different from your average city bus tour! Making our way into …
Bright, early and rainy in Wisconsin, we were ready to start the adventures. Having had a couple of long days in the car we were pleased to get out in the fresh air. We have an usual set of activities planned so let’s get down to it! Our first stop was literally a five minute drive …
Day 105 – Minnisota Surprise! Today we had yet another long journey driving from Valley City in North Dakota to a small town called St Cloud in Minnisota. However I must apologise because I had a terrible nights sleep and not long into the drive I fell asleep! This unfortunately means I don’t have any …
Whew! What a long few days it has been! Although we’ve had several long drives and Ben even gained a swollen ankle from it, though thankfully he wasn’t in any pain! We are not complaining, this is still an amazing experience and the trip of a lifetime! We think the ankle issue was a result …
Starting out today we carried on with our exploration of South Dakota. There has already been a fair amount to see so far in this state but we had a few more things lined up before heading out to North Dakota. First on our list and literally a ten minute drive from last night’s accommodation …
