Traveling our great state of Illinois.
Our amazing van carries us & our gear as we see our great country:
The Midwest. Colorado. East Coast.
Flying takes us where our van can’t. Overseas Adventures. Ireland. France. Belgium.
So much to see, too few beaches visited. Trying to work on that…
Hopefully the posts below will help initate plans for your own adventure!
