2022-08-13 Denver Road Trip Day 3: This could really be a good good life…
Day 3 of our little road trip adventure and it was definitely a busy one. “We” started the day by hitting the free breakfast at the hotel which was terrible. So bad that we had to get donuts elsewhere before moving along to the next thing. I say “we” in quotes because yours truly hasn’t…

2022-08-12 Truthtelling From the Middle of Nowhere
In the last few days, I’ve driven about 8 hours to get where I’m currently sitting. I’m more, half-laying than sitting, propped up with pillows behind me in a bed in a 2.5-star hotel somewhere that’s really the middle of nowhere. It doesn’t matter where. The bed is in the middle of a room which…

2022-08-11 Denver Road Trip Day 1: Ogallala and Winning the Lottery
Today I’m waking up in Ogallala, Nebraska. Mostly because I’ve gotten to that point in my life that I can no longer stand to drive the 8 hours it takes to get to Denver from Omaha in one shot. Does that make me old? Probably. Normally when I write about my travels, I start on…

We left our Airbnb before the sun was up. Unfortunately, we’d set ourselves up with tickets for a tour at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky at 1PM making our timeline extremely tight. Yup.

We were up again with the sun yesterday. There were quite a few Smokey Mountain stops on our list that we either didn’t see signs for or that were on a different road through the park altogether so the goal was just to see more. Truthfully, we were kind of feeling hiked-out from the previous…

2022-02-09 SMA Road Trip Day 3: Smoky Mountain Exploration
We woke up on day three to the sunrise which was in full view from the giant window in the master bedroom. And once that sun is up, it is up. No sleeping in is allowed. This was OK by us as we had a full day of exploring the Smoky Mountains ahead. I made…

2022-02-08 SMA Road Trip Day 2: Making it (almost) to the Mountains ⛰
We’ve spent a lot of time in the car at this point. On Monday morning I woke with a serious hangover but time waits for no SugarCookie so we had to scoot out of Nashville and on down the road to the mountains. The Smokey Mountains to be exact. Before we left town we drove…

2022-02-07 SMA Road Trip Day 1: Sometimes Life is About the Destination
Yesterday was the first full day traveling. We woke up in O’Fallon Illinois and headed east and south through Kentucky and into Tennessee. Yes… we did stop at Starbucks for a coffee before skipping out of O’Fallon. Thankfully we did not have as tight of a timeline to reach our destination as the day before.…
