Wild and Wonderful West Virginia Weekend

It might already be Thursday but I am still thinking about this weekend. We drove out to West Virginia on Friday for the long weekend and I took Tuesday off to extend things. We changed it up this year and went to Elkins, WV, a significantly less touristy town than Davis or Thomas. Our Airbnb Continue reading

Kansas City
New road trip song. Seriously, can’t you imagine driving with the windows down and this song blaring and it doesn’t matter where you’re headed because you’re just going. I’m thinking I may go somewhere after work on Sunday… Maybe Enchanted Rock, maybe Pedernales Falls, who knows! I just want to go. The need for adventure Continue reading
