Being a traveler not a tourist

Our trusty VW Golf TDI.

The purpose of this blog is primarily a means to document the road trips that we enjoy taking. Kevin's training has taken us all over, from SC where we lived and met, to New Orleans, to Kansas City, to Memphis, and soon back to Kansas City. As soon as we settle in we start trying to emulate the locals, and learn as much about the history and culture of our new city as possible. One of the best aspects of any city are the small towns that surround it and make up much of the rest of the area, the history they hold, the unexpected oddities they preserve. Sadly, most of our road trips are becoming random pictures with vague memories attached to them. So as time and one too many margaritas ravish our minds, we create this as an effort to chronicle some of the best times we've ever had out in the middle of nowhere.

Also, as Kevin nears the completion of his training, 15 years worth, but who's counting, we are planning a once-in-a-lifetime epic road trip. Totaling roughly 4,500 miles and 13 states, give or take. The idea being to use this blog to keep friends and family who are interested up to date on our comings and goings as we traverse our vast nation. Oh yeah, and Dutch will be there riding shotgun.
