  • Great Wolf Lodge

    Great Wolf Lodge

    The family escaped the Polar Vortex by surprising the kids with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge, a long-awaited destination. The kids immersed themselves in activities, from shopping to Magi Quest, creating lasting memories. The trip concluded with a Master Magi Quest ceremony, leaving the family with cherished moments and…

  • St Louis Eats

    St Louis Eats

    St Louis will likely end up as one of our highlights which is really saying a lot since we barely even decided to go. The only reason we even considered it in the beginning was because Charlie specifically asked to go see the arch that he had read about in…

  • Great balls of fire

    Great balls of fire

    We had originally planned on stopping in St Louis en route to Nashville. Then we thought about popping over on the way to Louisville or Mississippi but we just didn’t make it happen. And then we realized that in order to get all the states, we were going to have…

    Swamp Life

  • Who dat?

    Who dat?

    We left Nashville and continued south. We have reworked this trip at least 16 times now and so we are only staying in Mississippi for a week, which is about a week longer than all recommendations we have been given. We had really no reason for picking Mississippi, other than…

  • Nashville

    Nashville

    Country music, cowboy boots and daytime drinking aren’t really my thing, well at least two of those things aren’t, so we decided to keep our stop in Nashville short. We only had one day and two nights on the docket for Nashville and that worked out just perfectly. Unfortunately, Jacob…

  • Sluggers, State Parks and Sips

    Sluggers, State Parks and Sips

    We spent four nights in Louisville Kentucky at a spectacular AirBnB. It was just what we needed after our back to back hotel nights. We had enough room to spread out, everyone got a bit of space, the beds were finally comfortable and there was a fenced backyard for the…
