A wonderful way to spend a day 💕

My partner and I picked a beautiful fall day to take our trip and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the drive and the stops. We also ran into 3 other groups of people taking the same trip (we could tell because we were all carrying around the same Guess Where cards) and they were loving it, too. I especially liked the ‘off the beaten track’ stops that we would never have even noticed on our own. I look forward to going back to some of the stops to spend more time. Thank you Guess Where Trips ☺️

What a fun day we had! The drive was beautiful, the destinations were truly unique and loved shopping in the local markets. We were also encouraged to explore special little treasures that the towns had to offer to get a true appreciation of the area. I would totally recommend!
