Recently my husband and I decided to take a trip to Destin, Florida in order to enjoy one last glimpse of summer sun before the winter drudge kicked in. Driving from St. Louis, Missouri to Destin, Florida takes about fourteen hours and costs around $200 in gas money. A flight to Destin would cost over $300 for each person and include several layovers. Taking the car seemed like a much more affordable option than flying, but I was worried about driving non-stop through several states.

Well, our big road trip adventure is officially over. After driving nearly forty thousand kilometres to various places around North America, we have decided to wrap it up. We had a lovely time. We saw many amazing places and met beautiful people. We have created some awesome memories that we will surely treasure.
While traveling in Los Angeles, my husband and I decided to stop and spend a day at Universal Studios. We knew it would be pricy, but we thought it would be worth the time and money we would spend. We opted for the $74 day pass, although the lady at the booth sure tried her hardest to get us to buy the $119 pass so that we wouldn’t have to wait in line. I am glad we didn’t go for that, though, as we went on a Thursday and hardly had to wait at all to see any of the attractions.
It has been almost 70 days since we packed up and left for our big road trip. We have traveled more than 17000 kilometers and we have seen many amazing things including glaciers,canyons, mountains, the Pacific Ocean, a variety of marine and land wildlife, and so much more. We are appreciating every day of this journey, and although it does have its challenges, we have been really blessed by this experience so far.
