As for the second Photograph Bucket List Saturday, I wanted to share another goal with you!
This is something I dream about doing. One day, when we have the time and the money, I want to be able to drive across the country with Grant. I want to photograph everything we see. I want to be able to take our time and just enjoy this whole country and what it has to offer. I want to drive through the mountains and roam around in the south. I want to go through miles and miles of Texas desert and spot the Grand Canyon together. I want to turn around in Southern California and make our way up through Washington and see South Dakota again. I want to see it all with him!
I have done a lot of road trips in my life and I've seen quite a large portion of the states, but I think there would be something really exciting about going with him and stopping anywhere and everywhere and just taking our time enjoying the country. Maybe for a month? It would be fantastic.
#2 Photograph an extended road trip across the country.
The above shots were taken in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, one of my favorite places on earth. The mountain air is just incredible. Sometimes I consider living there, but there are too many things I love here in Indiana.
Have a great Saturday everyone!

I think it would be wonderful to drive around a country and take photos, I take photos where ever I go but I'd love to take photos of different landscapes and buildings! xx

The idea is pretty cool, I wish to do something similar.

I've been to Gatlinburg! It IS soooo beautiful when you do the lift up the mountain. The air feels different, everything is just perfect. I've considered living there too, but I'm a city girl through and through. The country life and quietness of mountains and such is something I escape to when I need a break. But oh boy is Gatlinburg beautiful, and it really is a neat little town on that Main strip.
Mikey and I did a cross country road trip when we moved from Vegas. We drove through so many states and I wished we could have stopped at all the ones we've never been to. We only stopped in San Antonio, TX to visit my family for a few weeks and then again in Wilmington, NC to see his mom. I'm like you, I don't wanna just drive through all these unfamiliar places, I wanna stop and explore, maybe try their foods. I think that would be fun! Anywho, this got long, haha. I enjoyed this post. :)

Oh I am so so there with you! Gosh...Aaron and I would ADORE a cross country road trip....where we could take the time to reeeeally take it all in and snap as many pics as we would like! We drove from NJ to St. Paul last year (we were teaching at The Creative Connection) and it was so so fun!! We saw so many super cool place! Wisconsin has so many hillarious "family resorts"..like crazy crazy theme hotels...where you really do not have to leave for anything..for like a week! We'd love to go back!

What a small (internet) world! I live about an hour and half away from Gatlinburg. I've always wanted to go on a cross country trip as well. I think that would simply be amazing. :)

Haha I always love your long comments Roni :) They are most welcome! I really love Texas. I bet I could stay there for a week just driving through the dessert. New Mexico is pretty cool too. I loved going to Roswell when I was a kid :P So much fun to see Alien themed Arby's and Walmarts!

Oh yeah, I've stayed in one of those crazy family hotels as a kid! HAHA! I spent a lot of time in Wisconsin. It's a gorgeous state though. Not a whole lot to do, but very quaint and peaceful :) NYC to CA would be the ideal dream. I would love to see absolutely everything, but I think a straight trip across from NY to CA would be ideal :)

Posted by: BlythePonytailParades | Monday, April 23, 2012 at 05:58

I love Gatlinburg! Such a pretty place and the air feels great to breathe in the mountains.
