Journeys

Welcome to my travel blog. Every year my family and I set off on an adventure seeking to explore the world in which we live. We try to experience the culture of each new place we visit. These trips are referred to as the "Sita Family Cultural Road Trip!" I treasure this time with my kids. We spend about 20 days locked up in a car, traveling over 3000 miles, and staying in Econolodges the whole way. We travel on a very tight budget but lack seeing nothing. I hope to share some of our money saving tips with you as well as recieve a few. The places we see, the things we do together, the laughter and tears we share, have created priceless memories that will last a lifetime. This year I was able to experience my childrens social study books coming to life, as they studied many of the places we have been so blessed to experience. Our trips have become a talking point among our friends. It was suggested that I begin a travel blog to share some of our experiences along the way. It is my hope you will enjoy our journey and that it may inspire you to venture off on your own family adventure!

Day One Summersville, WV







After 7 hours of driving our first day has come to a close. Our day started with strangely cold June temperatures, rain, and beltway traffic. We had a very long drive ahead but we were prepared with movies, tons of snacks, drinks, and the kids DS's of course. The drive through the Virginia and West Va. mountains proved to be beautiful. The mountains were ominous with a thick fog layer hanging in the tree tops. We stopped for dinner in a little town and enjoyed fine dining at the "Sizzler!" We all agree, Sizzler has sizzled out! YUK! We then embarked on an 80 mile adventure of dark, narrow, winding, county roads to our final destination. Oh did mention it was pouring down raining and very dark. We are now bedding down for the night before setting out for our Jet boat ride down the New River Gorge in the morning! Stay Tuned.
