DAY 55 – MONDAY 10/19/15 – NASHVILLE, TN TO NEW ROCHELLE, NY

October 19, 2015 Road Trip 2015

This is it. This is the last day. This will be a short blog post because all we did is drive. We left Nashville at 7 am and arrived at my house in New Rochelle just after 11 pm, stopping for gas 3 times and dinner at a TGI Fridays somewhere in New Jersey. We drove through Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, making this our only 7-state journey.

Here are some stats from our trip:

13,304.5 miles driven

259 hours, 50 minutes, and 28 seconds of driving in the car

109+ family and friends (both old and new) visited during our trip

55 days of touring the United States of America

45 tanks of gas (costing us each roughly $650)

41 states

9 national parks

motels

camp sites

journey of a lifetime

 

On behalf of both of us I would like to thank every single person we came across during our trip. Whether you met up for a meal or allowed us to stay at your house, we appreciate everything that so many people did for us to accommodate us while we were on the road and to make our trip that much easier and memorable.

To all of our friends and family: it was so great to see all of you, though probably shorter than we both would have liked. Now that we’ve seen where you are we’ll have to come back and stay longer to experience life in your area of the world even more!

Thank you to all of the chain hotels, such as but not limited to: Holiday Inn Express, Best Western, Marriott, Days Inn, etc for unknowingly allowing us to use the restroom during our trip. Much obliged.

Thank you to Verizon, ATT and Apple for helping us map our trip and connect with so many people throughout the country. And helping us get from one place to another, that was pretty cool too.

A big thanks for all of the men and women that helped make America, including but not exclusive to: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine (New Ro!), Eleanor Roosevelt, Keanu Reeves, Martin Luther King Jr, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Nick Jr, Harriet Tubman, Janet Reno, Barney, Charlie Chaplain, Earth Wind and Fire, and so many more. This is a beautiful country filled with more adventure than you could imagine. If you haven’t done so yet, check it out.

Finally a huge thank you to both my and Alex’s parents for being so supportive of Team Handsome’s Epic Cross-Country Road Trip 2K15!

 

We hope you enjoyed reading about our adventure. Much love to all of our family, friends, and most important – the fans.
