It's our first road trip! We'll start in Kingston, TN, and head West through Memphis, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Santa Fe, the Grand Canyon, and end up in Page, AZ. From Page, we'll go North to Moab, then back East through Pueblo, Dodge City, Aurora, Paducah, and back to Kingston. We've got 2.5 weeks to do it! We'll stay in cabins along the way, and take each day as we get there.
