First Unofficial Stop: RVA

PART ONE

My friends and I had planed, changed, re-planned this trip for months, so when it finally came to game day the plan was for us to leave DC, them to pick me up in Tyson's and drive all the way to Atlanta; things did not go according to plan...

East to West and Back Again: A Roadtrip Story

I have to say that this was one of the things on my list that I thought wouldn't happen. It takes quite the effort to get four people on the same page and in one car for eight-ten days. 

This entire hair brain idea came from watching the food network, yea you read that right. Marge and I were hungry watching some show about ribs and I yelled out "I want to eat my way across the country".  Marge being the awesome friend she is said "LET'S do it!" and the rest my friends is history. We soon added two more X alums Daniel and Shajena and the journey began.  We went from DC all the way to California with stops all along the South. I saw amazing sites and met amazing people and my life is so much better for it.

 Because this road trip is such a huge part of my life and this summer I have decided to break this post up into a couple of smaller posts instead of an Odyssey of a story. The next couple of days will be dedicated to a portion of the trip where I can chronicle the journey in great detail. If I do not get to do anything else on my list this year I am beyond thrilled that I got to do this with my best friends.
