A Year Ago

Lately I've been reminiscing about the epic road trip from last year, since it was almost exactly a year ago that we started our journey. Last year on May 30th, Heather and I flew to Savannah to help Jenny pack up as her school was ending [see HERE]. We had an interesting time getting there, but after a long day we finally made it [see HERE].

Heather and I had a few days in Savannah while Jenny was finishing up her classes. We had time to explore, which was fun because we had visited the previous October [see HERE] and it started to feel familiar. We would hang out at a quaint little coffee shop and wander around the city while she was in class. It's such a beautiful city. See [HERE].

We began our road trip on June 3rd and made our way out of Georgia and on to Nashville, TN. See [HERE] and [HERE].

On our second day we made our way through Tennessee, Kentucky and finally stopped in Springfield, MO. See [HERE] and [HERE].

Our days started to get longer on our third day. We drove up through Missouri, into a small part of Iowa and made our way across Nebraska. I'm still regretting not stopping at the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, MO. See [HERE] and [HERE].

The fourth day was probably one of the longest. We drove through the rest of Nebraska, Wyoming and down into Utah and landed in Salt Lake for the night. One of the best parts of that day was going to In-N-Out; it was reminiscent of our time in California together! See [HERE] and [HERE].

We were ready to leave SLC on the fifth day! We literally ran from our creepy motel room to the car to get out of there! It was definitely a relief to cross the Idaho border! See [HERE] and [HERE].

Looking back, I wish that we had taken more time for things like stopping at the Precious Moments Chapel and silly stops like that. I'm so thankful I was able to experience this with two of my closest friends! It's definitely one of those trips I will always remember.

Roadtrip Recap

Mashaville

Day one complete! We made it to Nashville or as I have been calling it all day, Mashaville.



We finished loading the car and got on the road by about 7:30am. We made a pit stop and fuel stop before we got to Atlanta. We stopped at Pinkberry for lunch and then made our way up to Nashville, after another fuel stop.

Unfortunately, the Whittaker family is out of town, but they so graciously let us stay at their house anyway (which, btw is gorgeous and so creatively decorated). We unloaded our suitcases, freshened up and then went to Baja Burrito for dinner, thanks to a suggestion on twitter. We ended up downtown on Broadway. It was fun to walk up and down the street and stop in some of the fun tourist-y shops. My favorite shop was the Ernest Tubb Record Shop. I was able to take some pictures in there and Heather ended up getting Taylor Swift's Speak Now on vinyl.

We're all pretty tired so we headed back to the house. We're going to relax a little bit, re-group and then get to bed early. We have another 8 hour drive ahead of us.

Roadtrip - Day 1: Nashville

We're on our way to Nashville today! We'll be making a pit stop in Atlanta for some Pinkberry. YUM!

We'll be staying with Carlos Whittaker of Ragamuffin Soul and family tonight. Heather and I met him last month when he was in Idaho and had dinner at The Matador. See Heather's blog post HERE about it.

We can't wait to meet the rest of his family. You may recognize them from the video posted below.



Stay tuned for updates from the road!
