Dearies, come along with us as we journeyed across America the Beautiful, from sea to shining sea! In 2016 we took a road trip as we unexpectedly moved from California to Georgia and as we traveled we were struck by the diverse beauty of the USA as we watched the landscapes change from the West Coast to the East Coast on the southern most route. We didn’t have much time to plan, and little money, and it took us 6 days to travel from California to Georgia. Here are the charming places we stopped at on the way:
“O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!”
CALIFORNIA
ARIZONA
TEXAS
LOUISIANA
New Orleans was the stop we were most excited about so we tried to spend some extra time there. We ventured out into the French Quarter on a Friday night and got were a little disillusioned by the wild partying on Bourbon Street, a far cry from the evening magic of the New Orleans Square at Disneyland. However, the next day, despite the Saturday crowds, we discovered the charming enchantment of New Orleans.
ALABAMA
GEORGIA
We hope you enjoyed coming with us and we soon plan to share more of our adventures that wild year of volunteering via Workaway and how it changed our lives! Have you ever taken a big road trip across America? Bye For Now, -Jonas & Lindsay
