Why We Travel
We think America is the greatest place on earth. We believe America is rich. It's rich with people and stories and places. We want to experience that richness, get inspired by it and share what we find with the world. We're not discouraged by the long list of negative news; rising gas prices, or politics. We have our own list. On ours you'll find the beauty of the Grand Canyon, the buzz of a major league ball park and the calm of a campfire. This experience is the gift we're giving our children. This is our American vision. We hope everyone will see it like we do.

Our Road Route
Starting in our home state of Ohio, we plan to make our way through 48 states. First we'll  drive northeast through New York state and up into Maine. Then we'll turn south along the East Coast.  The road will take us through some Mid-Atlantic states before we turn back toward Ohio. After a brief stop  in the Buckeye state, we will likely head Northwest until the colder weather hits. Our trip will then turn southward before sweeping up through the Midwest and back to Ohio again, in time for the holidays. Next we'll head out Southwest, and finally, we'll visit the the Northwest states before we head home.
