Hi! My name is Amy, and I decided that all work and no play was not the way I wanted to raise my family! My husband and I work opposite shifts, and in the hustle and bustle of the busy work-family dynamic, we don't often have the time to reconnect and really spend the time together that we would like. When we do have time, we are a rather adventurous family of six, despite the fact that our children are still pretty small... ages two, five, seven, and nine. But we never let this stop us before, so why now?! We wanted to show our children the WORLD! With so much tragedy in this country and around the world, and seeing how each day is really such a gift, we decided to just go for it and plan the most epic road trip EVER! We also wanted to find opportunities to teach our children about diversity and equality, and were hoping to happen upon teaching moments through our travels. With the help of Roadtrippers, I embarked on a six-month planning journey to find the absolute coolest places in America. With tons of late-night planning, sacrificing family time to work overtime and save money, and a whole lot of ambition, we set aside three weeks to go more than 7,500 miles in our trusty Suburban. It ended up changing our lives!

And finally...our trek home. Despite all of the amazing places we saw, adventures we had, and people we met, somehow, there is no place like home. Until next time, of course!

We were looking for a perfect place to stop and stretch our legs and picnic, and this little park was absolutely amazing! Simply gorgeous, quiet, and uncrowded, and with such history.

My kids are pretty obsessed with "The Wizard of Oz" (who isn't!?). This was a perfect pit stop on our long journey home to PA.
