Great Trip

Each of the stops were great. They were things we would not have seen if we had tried to go on our own--we wouldn't have known about them. I highly recommend this for a fun day out.

Great relaxing weekend adventure

This was a great way to find hidden spots I never knew were so close to home! My husband and I took this trip this morning. The first stop was about 30 minutes from us and the whole trip took about 5 hours (including lunch and the drive home). It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday with the one I love.

Third stop was my favorite!

Third stop was a 'choose your own adventure' type stop...so cool! We got to pick between so many unique eateries and funky roadside stops.
