Highlights From The Road

As we travel from place to place, campsite to campsite and city to city, there is much to see! Here are a few of the highlights as we traveled from Hatteras Island to Lake Champlain VT and then on to Bristol, CT.

Quick stop at Kitty Hawk to take in the sights!


Emily and Shantih: friends since they were born. Alexis and Kellen: barely tolerant of each other. ðŸ˜‚ After leaving friends in Philly we drove. New Jersey, navigating the terrifying New Jersey Turnpike, New York, the Catskills, skirting the Adirondaks, winding through beautiful country on tiny roads through upstate New York to Vermont, and finally landing at a friend's beautiful house on Lake Champlain. 



We took a little detour to go into New Hampshire on our way to Connecticut and stumbled onto the longest wooden bridge in the United States, and the longest 2 span wooden bridge in the world. Pretty good detour I'd say!


Our trip begins to head back west from here. Not sure where we are staying the next two nights. We have to be on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in a few days to meet up with friends from Kentucky so I believe our plan is to drive and find places to stay along the way. Oh and apparently a stop at a Fiesta Ware outlet or store?!

Stay tuned for more updates from on the road.

With all the build up and excitement that comes before our trips, this one had an element of unknown. This would be the first time I was back home since the passing of my Dad.

The first time on his birthday I could not call or the first Father's Day with him gone. I was not sure what it was going to be like or how I would feel walking into his house again with him not there. I also knew that we would be spreading Dad's ashes during our visit. Whether or not it was fate, coincidence or strategic planning by my brother, the day that was selected was 6 months to the day of his passing. Cory picked me up and then we headed to Barron to pick up our Step-Mom and his boat. Once we were all loaded we began the journey. Our first stop was at the cemetery. While there we visited the burial sites of Dad's Grandparents. He always spoke highly of them and really love

#Andersonepicadventure FAQ: How was the trip?

Family selfie pulling into the driveway It has been a little over a week since we arrived back home from our trip and things have settled in for the most part. I have resumed my daily work schedule, had to start wearing pants to work last week, always a sign that things are ramping up at work. Tracey and the kids are bleeding out every ounce of time off. They spent part of last week at the Oregon Coast, another portion in Leavenworth WA camping and finishing up the week at Tracey's parents house. Before I respond to the title of this post, here are some of the stats from our trip (from one of Tracey's posts) and the route that we took: 34 days, 31 states, approximately 8120 miles traveled. Hit the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, a barrier island, Lake Champlain, and Lake Michigan. Lots of friends and family visited, a service project completed, numerous great cities toured, no natural disasters endured.  This trip marked the milestone of Tracey and I both traveling
