Jennifer & Crew

You could say my love for travel is in my blood. For much of my childhood, my dad worked as a truck driver. He drove all over the country and I was often in tow. I have been riding shotgun, reading maps since before I was in Kindergarten. I credit him for my excellent sense of direction and my love of the open road. 

Around 2011, my husband Travis and I decided that we wanted to take our kids to all 50 states by the time they graduated high school. This decision prompted a sort of travelpalooza over the next ten years. We finished up our whirlwind tour of all 50 states in 2021. While traveling during the pandemic was certainly challenging at times, we tried really hard not to let it slow us down. Our sons Blaise and Brady are now 17 and 14, and while we have completed our fifty state tour, we have many more adventures planned.

For many years Travis has been telling me to start a travel blog, and I basically ignored him! ha! While I thought the idea was great, I wasn't sure anyone would want to hear about our travels. It wasn't until I had another dozen or so people tell me I should start a travel blog that I seriously considered it for the first time. Now, here we are. My hope is that others will find this helpful and be encouraged to step out into new destinations.
