  • The Okefenokee Swamp

    11/16/2020 – 11/20/2020 We left Savannah eager to continue our journey, heading south on coastal Highway 17 where we weaved over and under I-95 committed to stay off the interstate and keep it slow. Highway 17 is also a road where my great great grandmother and namesake, Blanche Kempner Nussbaum, lost her life when she…

  • Savannah Bananas

    10/27/2020 – 11/16/2020 Note: We decided to create an Instagram account so we can post more real time status of our journey. As you know, our blog which takes more time to create is running up to a month behind. We hope you find this enjoyable. Toohey (@travelswithtoohey) • Instagram photos and videos Savannah is…

  • In My Mind I’m Gone to Carolina: The Carolinas

    10/15/2020 – 10/23/2020 The North Carolina mountains hold a special place in my memories. One of the earliest trips was with my mom and dad to the High Hampton Inn after dropping my sister off at camp for two weeks. We stayed there for a few nights enjoying time with my grandparents who made their…

  • The Buckeye State

    September 20 – 27, 2020 There have been bits and pieces that we pick up from each state that travel with us along our journey. For example, we continue to clean the red dust we picked up in the deserts of Utah, the grey dust along the gravel roads in Idaho, Oregon, and Montana. We…

  • The Wisconsin Shore

    I’ve always enjoyed the State of Wisconsin with each visit having been positive including fun business trips to neat towns of Milwaukee, Madison, and a life dream of seeing a game in Green Bay. I have a love of all things cheese and when introduced to this magical little thing called a curd, I was…

  • North Dakota: Fifty was Nifty

    Two things: Thing 1. As of this writing and certainly your reading of this blog, I have now officially visited every state in the good ole U.S. of A, with North Dakota being the last. Mind you, this was over a lifetime and mostly accomplished for work purposes versus play. Our drive from Fort Peck…

  • Goodbye Oregon, Hellooo Washington

    Today was going to be a big push north into Washington with the destination of a horse rescue farm just outside of Port Angeles, WA. We set our plan in motion crossing the vintage looking metal expansion bridge over the Columbia River and into the state of Washington. Our first introduction was a drive that…

  • Missoula, MT to Lewiston, ID: The Amazing Highway 12

    Wondering about wandering. Our journey so far has been more about simply wandering up the road versus having any set plans. When we get somewhere we have to decide, day by day, do we stay or do we move on. Where is “move on” if we decide to move there? Our original plan was to…

  • Sloverlanding from the Tetons to the Sawtooths and along the Salmon River

    Daily travel can get exhausting, but the benefits of us doing it together have been pretty profound over our first month. A month ago, we would each sort of do our thing around the house with infrequent conversations about the common issues. We both worked in different industries spending lots of time and energy in…
