The last two weeks of the trip were kind of a "long tail" with more visiting and less sightseeing, resulting in a much smaller batch of photos. Thus, Weeks 5-6 are in a single album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/93788108@N00/sets/72157645553063024/
Full trip photos (all in one album) are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/93788108@N00/sets/72157644898605426/

Week 5 (June 22-28): San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, and Gallatin, TN )

Week 6 (June 29-July 4): Nashville, Lexington, and then -- just like that -- back home again. )

Total statistics: 43 days, 19 states, almost 8,000 miles. Seven national parks -- and at least that many Denny's.

... And at the end of it all, we both still found ourselves going, "Finally, NOW we can spend some nice uninterrupted time together." ;-)

So, now begins the "after we get back" portion of our lives, which is to say, students and clients ([livejournal.com profile] etrace) and freelance projects and website updates and applying for jobs (me) and getting a bunch of house stuff squared away, and... family cookouts on the back patio, and birthday dinners ([livejournal.com profile] etrace's nephew turns 20 tomorrow), and long walks around the pond in the mornings with the dogs.

It's pretty freaking great.

Greetings from the Epic Roadtrip Honeymoon!

I'm posting this from just outside Nashville, on June 30 (backdated)... so we are in the home stretch, but not quite home yet. We've started to see Indiana license plates again, though. :-)

I'm organizing the trip loosely into "weeks" based on when I uploaded photos.
Week 1 photos are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/93788108@N00/sets/72157644898605416/

Week 1 (May 22-28): House on the Rock and other roadside attractions, the Badlands, Yellowstone, and Idaho Falls )

The big day is finally here: we are heading out THIS AFTERNOON on our Epic Cross-Country Roadtrip Honeymoon!

Below the cut is the approximate itinerary (and also with approximate dates on roadtrippers.com):

7219 miles in 40 days, give or take! )
... and back home to Merrillville approx. July 1.

(No, we're not leaving the house unattended; there are 3 adults and 2 large dogs still in residence.)

So, LJ: any recommendations along this route for places we must see, visit, eat and sleep? (I'm making lodging reservations ahead for the next several days since it's Memorial Day weekend, but the rest of the trip is pretty wide open.)
