I waited till the morning of our 14 day RV road trip to pack.
We were on the road before we even knew where we were going.
I think it’s safe to say I’m not a planner.
(ahem)
So when a couple of friends suggested the Roadside America app, I was all in!
Roadside America is “Your Online Guide to Offbeat America.” They have a phone app with a location based map of all sorts of funny places. So you can be driving along and browse everything that’s close by, and stop when something looks interesting. It even has pictures and reviews from people who have been there.
Each stop makes for some fun photo opportunities.
The giant praying mantis in front of the Butterfly Pavilion was listed, so we got a picture. How fun would it be to do a road trip based on all the Roadside America locations and take a photo at each stop!?!?
Can I be 21 again please?
The app divides the country into regions and it costs $2.99 to unlock each region. But the online version is free (see the the screen shot of Southern California below). While this app is great for vacations, I’m thinking it will be awesome to use locally when our foreign exchange student arrives from Spain next week.
Oh. Did I forget to tell you we are hosting a lovely young lady this summer from Spain?
Squeeee… I’m over the moon excited.
And in September we should have a cool guy from China.
For a year.
We said if we ever had the space we would fill it.
Blessings abound!
Without Roadside America we would have never found the next stop on our trip.
Wanna know where?
Read all about it in the next post, but I’ll share a sneak peek…
