What an Amazing Day!

Our daughter gave us this for Christmas and we finally pulled it out this week, July now. We love a road trip and loved the mystery of each new step. Great things to see and experience. Great restaurants to enjoy. I’ve recommended it to all my friends. Amazing.

First Time…There WILL be a second!

Knowing the area we went I was very pleasantly surprised. We saw things I did NOT know existed! One of the stops was closed however we were able to walk up to it for a photo.

Great day away!

Did this trip with my mom for Mother’s Day. Lots of quaint little stops and places to explore! They also gave a few options at each stop so you could choose your own adventure! Will definitely be doing this again, had a wonderful time!
