Adventure on the Road: Part One

"Why think about that when all the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?"

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

On Friday morning, Kyle, Madigan and I will be piling into the Subaru and driving to North Carolina to say good-bye to my brother who is deploying next week.

Since this happens to coincide with my last spring break as a master's student, we thought we would go ahead and make this a real vacation!

We've been plotting out some fun stops using one of my favorite websites: Roadside America. Check them out for all kinds of bizarre museums, landmarks, and strange sights along the highway!

Here's a map of our route from Columbus, Ohio to Wilmington, North Carolina… View Spring Road Trip 2011 in a larger map
