Laid off for 2 months….hmmm what to do? How about a 5 week road trip across North America? Why not!
With passports in hand and suitcases in tow my partner and I decided on a last minute road trip across North America. How last minute? We decided 3 days before we left….just enough time to renew our passports. Destination: British Columbia to visit his family. It was a beautiful day when we left….cruisin down the highway. Cruisin a little too fast –my bf got a speeding ticket before we even reached the Canada/U.S. border….oops.
Our plan was to save money by buying groceries and sleeping in the car (that idea lasted half a day lol). We ended up driving to Missouri and spending the night…first stop Stanton. We checked out Meramec Caverns, an underground cave system that was once a hide-out for Jesse James. Seeing rock formations that were billions of years old was quite amazing!

Taking famous Highway Route 66 we saw tons of amazing things.The landscape was just breathtaking! I love Canada but we do not have the diversity of land that the U.S. has. One minute you are in farmland, the next you are in desert! We stopped along the way to check out Billy the Kids Tombstone (which now lives in a cage because of vandals).

We didn’t have a specific route planned out, but we had certain “must-see” spots….next stop? Roswell New, Mexico, “Dairy Capital of the Southwest”……….
Because Dairy Captial is the first thing I think of when I hear Roswell....
