A few weekends ago, I was getting coffee with a friend of mine, and we started talking about things we would do with our lives if we had unlimited money. I had quite a few ideas, like opening my own bakery, costume design, or becoming a travel writer. I admitted that travel writing would be my ultimate dream job .

“What’s stopping you?” he asked me.

That threw me for a loop. Of course, I had plenty of reasons I couldn’t go. Mainly, I didn’t have the money. But I also knew that it would be hard to leave my husband and the dog for the long periods of time I would be traveling. All the time away would also make it hard to start a family, or do any more renovation projects to our new house.

But he called me out.

“Why do you have to go so far to fulfill your dream? You’re already traveling. Pretty much anywhere you go around here is a new experience.”

And he’s right. I’ve been here a year, and almost every weekend we’re doing something new. BBQ festivals, car shows, amusement parks, and all within a days drive. This blog was born as a way to chronicle the ordinary and not-so ordinary adventures I encounter, both in Kentucky and out. So hop in and buckle up, we’re going for a ride 😉
