It is a classic American tradition, the summer road trip. The freedom of the open road, the call to adventure, and the thrill of discovery are just a few of the many reasons I am a HUGE fan of road trips. With about 47,128 miles of road within the United States interstate system, from small towns to natural wonders, there is a lot to gain inspiration from. My first road trip of the summer was over 700 miles. Most of those miles accumulated on I-81.

Traveling by car may take more time, but you get to experience how each state has it is own personality and unique qualities.

Road trips offer a chance to seek the road less traveled. Discovering new varieties of familiar favorites is part of the joy of exploration.

It is always a treat finding things you adore, in new places. The familiar takes on a new appeal when mixed into a unknown setting.
I hope this inspires you to take the road of discovery, and find something new this weekend.
