Our travels took us next to the city of Austin, Texas.  After a long drive, we were looking forward to some quality time experiencing one of the many things the locals partake in on a nightly basis.  This brought us to beneath the Congress Ave. Bridge, sprawled out in a grass park amongst hundreds of [...]

After seeing the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Mississippi, we arrived in New Orleans late Thursday night and stayed at Bayou Segnette State Park, only a few miles from downtown.  Neither of us have ever been to the area, but were excited to learn about the culture, history and unique anecdotes that make this city [...]

On Wednesday we departed DeSoto State Park and headed south through Birmingham towards the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We arrived Wednesday night at Gulf Shores State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Since neither of us have been in the area, and also because of recent events, we decided to spend a few hours at the beach.

Hey All!
We’ve been hanging out in Nashville the last few nights. This place is amazing and Tennessee is another state rich with history & recreational activities. Once we crossed the border coming from VA, I think there was a sign for either a historic area, monument or park every 5 miles.

Thursday we decided to explore Colonial Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg is the historic district to [...]

Mt. Katahdin looms 5,268 ft. over the small town of Millinocket, Maine.  Katahdin isn’t the only draw to Baxter State Park, but is however, the most [...]

On the 28th of June, this hot, hazy, humid 93 degrees day in Boston, JTA is off.  Months in the working consisting of long nights of planning (packing) and dreaming we are finally here.  Setting aside all nerves, I’m taking one step in a new direction of growth and discovery.  We are off to Acadia [...]

It’s finally here. It’s finally GO time! I couldn’t be more excited to finally get on the road…it’s been a long couple months; busy with trip preparations and park planning.
We’ll finally be departing Boston in less than an hour, with our first stop being Acadia National Park. I’ve actually never been there, but heard too [...]
