Travel Blog, "4 Wolfes, 50 States"

Why Road Trip?

For us, it started out with a simple goal. Then it turned into something more.

We’re not typical road-trippers.

AAA–the American Automobile Association–says that people road trip for a number of common reasons, including the opportunity to travel with pets, the freedom to enjoy a flexible schedule, and the ability to avoid airport hassles.

Welcome to the "4 Wolfes, 50 States" family travel blog!

Until 2017, our family vacations were always to the beach. I loved our trips, but after reading an article by a mom whose goal was to get her kids to all 50 states before they graduated high school, I had a crazy thought: maybe we could travel the entire country with our kids, too.

Thanks to my husband and his hard work, we were on our way the very next summer.

Now, after completing seven intense but incredible road trips, I want to share our story and encourage others to break out of their vacation routines and see more of America, even if they never go beyond their own or nearby states.

What makes this blog different from the dozens of other blogs chronicling their adventures across the U.S.? Our approach to traveling.
