That Little Place Known As Texas

We hit the road with excitement in our blood and passion in our hearts. Our destination? Houston, Texas. Our friends just moved there from San Francisco, and we thought what a perfect time to visit! Plus, Midwest weather was moving us to take a spring break trip somewhere. 

Located in Collinsville, IL

You know we love a good cheesy roadside attraction, so we quickly stopped at the "World's Largest Ketchup Bottle". We the headed to St. Louis (however, not really on the way) for a quick peak at the Gateway Arch. Wowza is that thing big! We nervously bought tickets to ascend to the top of the arch, but once we got loaded into the tiny pods (photo to come) to ride up to the top, all our anxieties melted away. We saw some pretty cool views of St. Louis before heading on our way to Houston. 

At the very top of the arch. 630ft!

After some frustrating traffic, delirium started to set in an we stopped at a hotel in Little Rock, AR. After deciding there wasn't much to see (sorry Arkansas!), we made the rest of the trip to Houston. Our friends M and I greeted us with open arms, and we hit up the town for some dinner and adult beverages. We'll have a ton of updates and more photos, but here's just a glimpse into our Texas road trip.

Happy adventuring! 

Route 66: The Next Big Adventure?

Boy have we been hankerin' for a road trip, and as many of you know we want to go out West next. We're kind of in love with the idea of traveling Route 66 (we even got a book on it for Christmas). 

Has anyone been? Once we save up enough $$ you'll be sure to catch us getting out kicks, on Route 66. 


Happy adventuring!

From Orlando to Destin

Our last day in Orlando was spent at Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and our friend Kristina's regular bar, House of Beer. It was a great day, but we knew that today we'd be on the road for over 6 hours.

Destin

After reading some Trip Advisor reviews of our Destin hotel, we once again got stressed out about our situation. Reminder note to selves: Don't read Trip Advisor! The reviews for our hotel here (the Ramada Limited Destin) are not too stellar, but we'll manage. Think spring break party hotel that has permanent stains and burn holes in the comforter. Adventures, adventures!

We also saw a baby deer hit by a car. :( Needless to say, it's been a bit stressful getting here. Hopefully things will start to look up.

Anyway, we're hoping to have a relaxing weekend before New Orleans. And as for the rest of our trip, we think we'll have to postpone it because of all the flooding. That's alright- we'll have more to do on our future trips!
