2015 Itinerary (January - August) - updated 1/31/15

Below is our partial itinerary for 2015. We will be heading east to see family and friends, but will of course be spending the winter in the southern part of the U.S. I am finding that many of the places we want to stay in the northern part of the country are closed for the winter or are not taking reservations yet for 2015.

  1. we will be taking a similar path to the North Carolina area but will be about a month behind as we will spend early spring in the Hill Country of Texas when the wildflowers begin to bloom.... this is the best part of Texas (other than Big Bend NP)
