Throughout my life, road trips have held a very high level of importance to me. Whether it was a weekend trip to the mountains, an early morning drive to Disneyland, or a month-long trip dragging our camper around as many National Parks west of the Mississippi. By the time I was a teenager, no destination in the Western United States was too far. This is a passion which my parents have passed onto me and I hope my kids share the same appreciation for the road.

In my adult life, road trips have continued to be my favorite method of travel. Over the last ten years I have driven the entire United States as well as portions of Canada, France and Italy. I was even lucky enough to find someone who shares my love for a good road trip. When we got married, we made sure to include a three-hour road trip from the nearest airport to the ceremony and every guest came away with an unforgettable story of their travels. When they arrived that weekend, they were greeted with breathtaking sights, and when they left, they had bonded with strangers who had a tale of their own.
I am happy to hear that your family is happy and healthy during this unprecedented time. It was very enjoyable to read about your connection to adventure and exploration of nature. I am sure your children will look back on your pandemic road trip as something truly special. Thank you for sharing your photos and hear warming stories of family love.
