Let the Games Begin!

In a few short hours Cameron, Cinder and I will be on our way to Shreveport. As I type this, I am beginning my mantra that our lucky break in the luxurious casinos of Shreveport, LA will help pay for some, if not all, of the road trip that lies ahead.

Our trip begins with Shreveport, LA. We will travel to Vicksburg, MS, Tuscaloosa, AL, Birmingham, AL, Atlanta, GA, Augusta, GA, then finally Charleston, SC. Cameron and I agreed to be responsible for an equal amount of stops and plan each stop separately from each other. So neither of us knows what the other has planned!

Cameron is responsible for Shreveport, Birmingham, Augusta and Charleston. I am responsible for Vicksburg, Tuscaloosa, and Atlanta. The excitement is mounting as the time gets closer for us to kick this whole thing off tonight in Louisiana.

We began throwing the idea around about taking a road trip for Spring Break in early February. We initally thought camping at Big Bend National Park would be great. That was until we checked availability of camp sites there in February and found nothing.

Then we started asking ourselves where we would like to drive to. We didn't want to go North by way of Nebraska because we just made that trip last year. We didn't necessarily want to go West because of the lack of "stuff" on I-10. And we didn't even mention going South. So that left us with East. And that's where we're heading.

Now that I've started this blog, I feel obligated to keep it up throughout the trip. It will be a fun thing to give the latest on what we're doing and seeing every day.

I hope you follow along for the next full week of road trip fun as Ashley, Cameron, and Cinder travel the deep south. Check back real soon!
