EPIC Family Road Trip Across US, 19 states in 60 days, See everywhere in 30 sec!
In the Summer of 2017, we packed up the kids and grandparents and took an epic road trip across US, driving from California to New York and back in our own minivan. You can follow along on the journey in this video, which outlines our road trip route with a fun animation, and shows our best footage from 15 cities, spending just 30 seconds in each city. We try to use the sights and sounds that we experienced in each city to narrate the video clips, so you get an authentic feel for each place.
We were finally able to see so many amazing cities and attractions that have always been on our bucket list. And we spent only $700 in gasoline to transport 6 people for 60 straight days!
In order, we visited:
1 San Antonio, TX
2 New Orleans, LA
3 Americus, GA
4 Savannah, GA
5 Charleston, SC
6 Washington, DC
7 Philadelphia, PA
8 Wildwood, NJ
9 New York City, NY
10 Annapolis, MD
11 Asheville, NC
12 Nashville, TN
13 Memphis, TN
14 Austin, TX
15 Scottsdale, AZ
A LEGACY TRIP FOR GRANDPA:
My parents came along for the ride, and a large purpose of the road trip was actually to take my dad back to East Coast, where he spent his childhood over 70 years ago. We visited his old homes, his old high school, and his favorite stomping grounds from the 1940s. Here is a montage of photos of grandpa in Gloucester City NJ, re-visiting his past and doing something he never thought he would get to do in his lifetime.

Andrew S.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Ranger Review: Klymit Insulated Static V Luxe at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, NM
Campground Review:
Oliver Lee is an amazing place to stay in southern New Mexico. This park is located about 20 minutes south of Alamogordo and a half hour drive to White Sands National Monument. We spent two nights here and were blown away with the desert views that surround the site. They have both developed sites with access to electricity and water as well as some undeveloped sites. We went in the middle of June during a heat wave that was hitting the southwest United States, but was really able to enjoy the park and surrounding hiking during the morning and afternoons.
I was actually pretty surprised at the amount of other campers that were there, and available amenities. When I was beginning to look at camping here I thought it would be a pretty primitive site, but was blow away at the available bathrooms, showers, and hook ups. While we were here they were replacing much of the water hook ups in the park, which meant the water was shut off during most of the day, but really increased the availability of the water.
If we are ever back in southern NM we will definitely be sure to swing by and stay for a night.
Product Review:
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I occasionally get products to test, and on this trip i was able to test the Klymit Insulated Static V Luxe ( sleeping pad. I was excited to be able to test out this pad primarily for its claim of being comfortable for side sleepers. With other pads that I've tried in the past I always run into the problem of whenever I try to sleep on my side I get spots what are always in contact with the ground and will eventually begin to hurt. Not with this pad. Except for the times when I was changing my sleeping position, I never felt the ground. I am truly in love with this pad! So far I've only been able to use pad in warm climates, so I can't attest to its insulative properties, but I can't wait to take it out this winter!
