Well, everyone. We’ve officially hit the road! Last Friday we packed up my trusty Forester and headed for our first stop – Delaware to visit some awesome friends. Then we spent a couple of days in Maine visiting friends, and here we are in my home state of Vermont.
We officially begin the cross country road trip on the 5th, as we take off to Hershey, PA. And although it officially begins next week, we’ve already been through 12 states!
I’m getting a lot of use from my new baby, our Nikon D5100. I love it, even though I don’t know how to use it on manual yet. We’ll get there. I do, however, have an adorable camera bag for it – and that’s the important part right?
As for where we’re headed? Take note, because if we’re near to you, we’d love to meet up for some tea, or a meal! We’d also love to hear some suggestions for sights to see in your areas. We will be headed to Hershey, PA –> Chicago –> Topeka, KS –> Mount Rushmore –> Denver, CO –> Salt Lake City, UT –> San Fransisco –> Los Angeles –> Las Vegas –> Grand Canyon –> Roswell, NM –> Austin, TX –> New Orleans, LA –> Orlando, FL —> Richmond, VA –> and back to Vermont!
Hope y’all are doing well, and I promise I’ll be back soon(er than later).
Hey – from Chicago! I hope you enjoy it here. We have great museums, theater, food, shopping, sports, comedy and bars. Depends what you are into. I’m sure you’ll love it – it’s one of the best cities ever!

I am so glad you’ve finally headed out! I’ve been MIA since our young granddaughter has been visiting so I’m not up on my blog friends.
The pictures are wonderful Jenn! You’ve really got that camera down fast…good for you.
I see some great destinations on you list and I know your trip is going to be full of marvelous adventures. I’m eager to follow along …..
I hope you get a chance to call when you’re in Richmond; it’s just a hop skip and a jump to my house!

I was wondering where you’d been! Hope you’re having an awesome trip. There’s nothing more fun that a road trip across the wide open country! When you’re in Vegas, depending on what you’re into, there are a lot of free places to check out. The Ethel M. factory in Henderson (the M standing for Mars), and the Pinball Hall of Fame, where you can play awesome old pinball machines (or buy one), it’s a pretty impressive collection.
In SLC, it’s worth it to take a trip to Temple Square. They’ve got really pretty gardens and water features and lots of other historical stuff to check out, it’s nice to just walk around. Crown Burgers is an awesome burger place. Get the Crown Burger, it’s got absolutely amazingly delicious pastrami piled on it and seriously tastes like heaven. Don’t forget the fry sauce for your fries!!
Can’t wait to read about your travels!! Have fun!

I’m excited for more instagram stories! Jay will talk you ear off if you ask him anything about Nikon. Meanwhile Casey and Christopher will be in deep conversation. Can Barney and Skeeter carry on a conversation?
