After we drove by that LIW site, we continued on a hilly highway with rolling corn fields as far as the eye could see. (Yeah, yeah, it was to see another Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead site.) Well, that site just so happened to be in Iowa. We decided to detour a little on the way home, taking a slightly different route back to Pennsylvania. Along the way, we stopped at many places where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived, a Little House on the Prairie road trip en route to Wyoming. This past summer, we went on a most epic road trip to Yellowstone National Park. I can’t recall many other happenings during that drive from NV to CA, but the ghost town? Will never forget it! Oh yeah, this place had Clark Griswold written all over it! We stopped, we snapped pics, we still talk about it to this day. It was a billboard for a very tourist-trap-looking (literal) hole in the earth – Calico Ghost Town featuring Maggie Mine, a silver mine last mined in the 1800s. Vegas is a few hours by car from LA, so as we cruised through the San Bernardino Valley, a sign caught our eye. We would spend a few days in Cali doing the tourist thing before hopping a plane back to PA from Los Angeles.īack to the road trip. We stayed in Vegas for a couple of days, checking out venues and meeting with wedding coordinators before hopping in our rental car and pointing it west towards California. ![]() Bob and I were in Las Vegas doing some scouting for our possible Vegas wedding. One of the earliest memories I have of this “off the beaten path” type of traveling is back in 2005. When we road trip, we always try to leave a little bit of flexibility in our schedule so that if we see something that piques our interest as we drive, we can stop and check out it, even if just for a few minutes. One of our favorite things about traveling is the chance to discover new and interesting places to stop and explore. Best of all, it’s open year-round and is FREE to visit. ![]() Think the Field of Dreams Baseball Field was just a backlot somewhere in Hollywood? Guess again! It’s REAL and is located in Dyersville, Iowa.
