Road Rules

The trip will approximately be a 2500 mile round trip starting in Tuscaloosa. Ideally, we'd like to see as many states as possible during the trip and average 6-7 hours of driving when changing locations. Even though many decisions will not be made until we wake up in the morning, we definitely would like to visit Virginia, Washington D.C., and New York. We need to decide whether to head all the way up to the east coast, or venture to Chicago to round up the trip. This will likely be a game-time decision. We hope this blog will keep those interested about our whereabouts as well as regular updates from the trip. Our ultimate goal is to see/do as many things we have never done before and to finish college on a high note as we part ways in the fall. Hayden and I will be moving to Birmingham in August, and Russ will begin his first year as a med student in Mobile. The following are a few rules we intend to abide by as we progress through the trip.


Rule #1 - There are no rules.
Rule #2 - Take a picture at each welcome sign of each state
Rule #3 - Go to a concert
Rule #4 - Change plans as the day goes by
Rule #5 - See if Hayden can go a day without chapstick
Rule #6 - Russ' vote > Hayden's vote
Rule #7 - Water bottles
Rule #8 - Can't be afraid to mix it up
Rule #9 - Visit at least two college campuses
Rule #10 - Listen to Scatman once when beginning each day's adventures
