Matt and Krista's Epic Adventure Part 1 : Planning

So Matt and I went on a little trip.. okay not so little trip. Before I dive into the actual trip, let me tell you all about our crazy vacation planning. We had said for years we wanted to do a big vacation, like national lampoon style, before we had kids. Now years came and went, no huge vacation or kids either, but now that we know we could be adopting anytime, it's crunch time. Also, everything I've read about adopting, and believe me when I say I've read A LOT, says to take that one last vacation just the two of you because your life is about to get crazy and you will wish you had. So we decided that was something we really wanted to make an effort to do.

Well, now that we own & operate our own company (it's still relatively new), summer is definitely our busiest time and you know that old saying "you gotta bail hay while the sun shines?" So needless to say, we've been working really hard and been very busy this summer so far and that's great for business! However, it leaves little time for downtime. I know I know, first world problems, but this was something really important to us to do before our next epic adventure, having kids.

One day, Matt came to me and said that he had a week that might be free at the end of June for a possible trip. The only problem? That week he mentioned was the following week. How do I plan an epic adventure in a week.. last minute?!? This might be a bit of a challenge, but you better believe I was going to find us something great!

So off I went hunting for a vacation. Last minute deals, last minute cruises, pretty much anything I could find within a reasonable budget.  After several days of hunting, calling places, and I was pretty well defeated so we had to think outside the box. We wanted to do something we had never done before and go places we had never seen before. Why not take an epic roadtrip? We decided to head out to the east coast. Neither of us had been there before. We wanted to drive as far as Prince Edward Island, which is pretty dang far and it's supposed to be absolutely beautiful. I had always wanted to see Salem, MA as I was just fascinated with the Salem Witch Trials so that became a stop as well. So we booked a few places, packed up our minivan and away we went!
