From phone call to great road trip adventure!

I started blogging a few years ago when I made the cross country trip from Los Angeles, California to Wake Forest, North Carolina. Blogging turned out to be a fun experience, so now I continue to blog about all of my travels. I try to make it interesting for everyone and hope that people can travel with me through my blogging. To learn why I started blogging in the first place, just continue reading and the next paragraph will explain how it all got started. So sit back, read the post, view the pictures and travel with me via my blog.



One of my dreams ever since I can remember was to take a cross country road trip to see America. Never in a million years did I think I would realize this dream. My dream was set in motion when I answered the telephone and my son Chris (who lived in Los Angeles at the time) called to tell me he had accepted a job in New York City. He went on to say he would not be taking his car with him to New York but would be driving his car from California back to North Carolina. Light bulbs went off in my brain at that point, so I told him I would fly to Los Angeles and ride with him back to North Carolina. Thus my great road trip adventure came to be. But this is only the beginning as it hasn't started yet. We are in the planning stages of where we are going to stop along the way and what we want to see. We only have 10 days to go from west to east and so the planning begins. I hope you will follow me as I blog my way across America. I'm new at blogging so please be patient. I hope to blog daily and post pictures along the way. Thanks to Chris for making it happen and to Julie for telling me to "go for it" and to seize this "once in a lifetime opportunity". I'm glad I did!

New York Here We Come

Driving from California to North Carolina with Chris last fall was on my "bucket list" of items to do.  I guess I can scratch that one off the list, although I would love to do it again.  Many of you know that Chris moved to New York (Manhattan to be exact) so now the road trip adventure is on again although this time we (Julie, Wade and myself) will be flying to New York to visit him later in April.  I have never been to New York but I am looking forward to visiting such places as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and also taking a boat tour around New York City and Staten Island.  If all goes well I hope to blog a few times to keep you posted on our sightseeing adventures of the Big Apple.  I'm just hoping that my knee doesn't act up while I am there, so I'm thinking positive thoughts and you think positive thoughts for me as well.  Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Julie got us tickets for Live with Regis and Kelly show on Monday April 18 so be sure to tune in to that if you can.  Otherwise, stay tuned for more updates of our New York trip.
