Julie and Rainy will be criss-crossing the United States on an epicly amazing roadtrip adventure! We will cover a total of about 10,000 miles. We are trying to create the most authentic roadtrip experience possible. An experience that is certainly going by the wayside with the ever-rising cost of gas and the 'need' to get to one's destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. For us, the journey will be as much of an experience as the destination(s). We will only consult paper maps and guidebooks (screw GPS!) and will avoid chains like the plague! There will be no Motel 6 or Mickey D's for us. Only kitschy roadside diner's, authentic regional cuisine, camping, hostelling, and the occasional sketchy $29.99 local motel. We will be sticking to so called 'Blue Highways' and scenic byways. 'Real America' doesn't exist on the interstate!!!
Follow our blog to experience the journey first hand (well, second hand)!

Rainy made us a reservation at the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico for the third night of our roadtrip.
Julie Peters is on a much needed summer break from teaching art at North High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Rainy is her daughter.
Rainy Lawson is escaping Olympia for a significant period of time for the first time in 3 years and taking a much needed leave of absence from the Kitty Klinic. She will be going to summer school and returning to work following this awesome roadtrip.
