By now, I've eluded to Megan and I's epic road trip coming up next week, so I thought I'd share a few details as far as our itinerary. I've never done a road trip quite like this - the only real road trips I've done are when Megan and I have driven to/from Colorado (with only gas/food stops), or back in college, the two of us drove straight through to Panama City Beach, FL for Spring Break.
Without further adieu, here is our planned route:
Chicago to Memphis, TN (1 night)
Memphis to Oklahoma City, OK (1 night)
Oklahoma City to Albuquerque, NM (1 night)
Albuquerque to Grand Canyon, AZ (1 night)
Grand Canyon to Zion National Park, UT (3 nights)
Zion National Park to Las Vegas, NV (1 night)
Las Vegas to San Diego/Escondido, CA (3 nights)
San Diego to Yosemite National Park, CA (2 nights)
Yosemite to Salt Lake City, UT (1 night)
Salt Lake City to Cheyenne, WY (1 night)
Cheyenne to Omaha, NE (1 night)
Omaha to Chicago
We have a few planned activities in most of the locations - for example, we are going to get some Memphis style BBQ while in Memphis, and of course hit up plenty of breweries. While at parks like the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Yosemite, we'll of course try to camp, assuming we can get a site (many camps sites fill up a year in advance during the summer months). In San Diego (Escondido), we are going to the Stone Sour Beer Fest, which we're super excited about. But, beyond that, I think we're going to wing most of the trip, in true road trip fashion. If you have any suggestions of where to stay (particularly in San Diego) or what to see while were in each of the places above, please leave a comment.
