Lightweight, compact and quick-drying. Before leaving on our 5 year, 50 state road trip, I did some research into travel towels. Those three features were what I was looking for, with quick-drying being the most important one. The last thing we wanted was to have our stuff or … [Read more...] about These Are Our Favorite Travel Towels: Quick-Drying & Pocket-Sized
Going Loopy For Tubing On The Chippewa River
It turns out that I love tubing. The only time I'd ever gone tubing in the past was on a lazy river ride at a water park. It was OK, but a bit dull. When exploring things to do in and around Eau Claire WI though, we saw there was an opportunity to go tubing on the nearby … [Read more...] about Going Loopy For Tubing On The Chippewa River
Review: Super 8 Wausau, Wisconsin
During our six weeks in Wisconsin as part of our 50 state road trip, we stayed for five nights at the Super 8 Wausau. We'd never stayed at a Super 8 before and from the reviews I've seen of the brand in the past, they've often been mixed. Some Super 8s have had fairly good … [Read more...] about Review: Super 8 Wausau, Wisconsin
3 Fun Things To Do In Wausau, Wisconsin
We recently spent five nights in Wausau WI while on our 50 state road trip. We'd been told by someone in Green Bay to bypass Wausau and head on to Chippewa Falls, but we're glad we kept our plans as it was a nice place to visit.

12 Things We’ve Learned While Traveling Full-Time

On the one hand, it doesn't feel like it's been that long, but on the other hand it feels like a lifetime ago since we set off. 6 months represents 10% of our 5 year, 50 state road trip (you can read … [Read more...] about 12 Things We’ve Learned While Traveling Full-Time
45 x 90 Geographical Marker: Center Of The Northwest Hemisphere
"Oops - that's not the visitor book!" Shae and I had gone into the visitor center in Wausau, Wisconsin and Shae added our names to their visitor book. Except it wasn't their visitor book. It was actually a book listing everyone who's visited the 45 x 90 Geographical … [Read more...] about 45 x 90 Geographical Marker: Center Of The Northwest Hemisphere
Review: Arbuckles Eatery & Pub, Stevens Point WI
We've gotten quite a few ideas of things to do on our 50 state road trip from Cassie who writes Sites & Bites. For example, the first place we heard about Rattlesnake Saloon in Tuscumbia AL was on her post about stuff to do in North Alabama. Cassie and her husband were … [Read more...] about Review: Arbuckles Eatery & Pub, Stevens Point WI
Review: Candlewood Suites La Crosse, Wisconsin
After spending a week in Green Bay on our 50 state road trip, our next stop was La Crosse. Hotel prices seemed pretty expensive, so we decided to use points to stay at the Candlewood Suites La Crosse. The hotel's pet-friendly (we're traveling with our dog Truffles), it's close … [Read more...] about Review: Candlewood Suites La Crosse, Wisconsin
Visiting Dahl Auto Museum In La Crosse, Wisconsin
Confession time: I'm not into cars. To be honest, I don't even enjoy driving that much, which probably sounds weird given that we're on a 5 year, 50 state road trip! I actually look forward to the day when we all have self-driving cars so that I don't have to bother driving … [Read more...] about Visiting Dahl Auto Museum In La Crosse, Wisconsin
