The Other Way Back: The Ups and the Downs

Jan 17, 2018

Not only is it a great memory full of awesome sights but it was over the course of this trip that I had time to think about the change I was making. Much of that thinking wasn't conscious, but there were a few moments of clarity that were interesting. I've also had a few different ideas about how to write this, so instead of doing all of that hard work of deciding on what to do, what you're going to see is a potpourri of the various directions I was thinking about.

TOWB: Day 10, Pittsburgh to Ephrata(or Snow and Home at Last)

Jan 4, 2018

The Crowne Plaza in Pittsburgh has hard mattresses and slow breakfast service, but we persevered and got on our way for our last day on the road. There was a gorgeous layer of fluffy snow on the car and more coming down for us to watch while we ate breakfast. Once we got underway we saw right away what a beautiful city Pittsburgh is.

TOWB: Day 9, Georgetown to Pittsburgh

Jan 3, 2018

Today wasn't a very full day, but we had one great success and one not so great disappointment. I'm going to keep this brief because I'm tired and my bed is calling me.

TOWB: Day 8, Memphis to Nashville(or "The Day We Threw Out the Plan", sorry Nashville)

Jan 2, 2018

Today is the day that all the previous planning fully went out the window. Memphis wasn't really on the schedule, but it didn't seem that much out of the way and we were still going to Nashville so it was fine. Today, we didn't even set foot in Nashville at all, instead we spent most of the day in Memphis, which it turns out has so much to offer, and then drove past Nashville and are spending the night in Georgetown, Kentucky.

TOWB:Day 6, NOLA

Jan 1, 2018

We started off the day at Clover Grill on Bourbon street with some pretty solid diner breakfast food. Then we walked a little more of Bourbon street when it was all but empty before...

TOWB: Day 4, Albuquerque to Oklahoma City

Dec 29, 2017

I laughed a lot, but not the laughter of humor(although there was a little of that), but the laughter of dismay that something so incredibly unexpected could exist and is right in front of you. I gasped a lot, every turn brought a new and surprising twist. I sat peacefully in environments that shouldn't exist outside of dreams.

TOWB: Day 3, Pine Top to Albuquerque

Dec 28, 2017

After kind of a late night last night our drive this morning was pretty peaceful and beautiful. We set out from Pine Top to go to another P.T. town, Pie Town!

TOWB: Day 2, Las Vegas to Pine Top

Dec 28, 2017

After a stressful day of driving in traffic yesterday we owed ourselves some fun. We left the LINQ, which is by far the most confusing casino/hotel I've ever been in, and heading to the west side of Vegas to the Red Rock Casino and their famous Feast Buffet. Only when we got there did we find out that we'd traded sitting in traffic for standing in line.
