Short & Sweet: Thank You!

Hey Bloggy Friends! Before I move on past Sugar Road Trip 2007 I just wanted to take a minute and thank you all for stopping by to watch my bloggy videos as we traveled along the way. You became such a big part of my trip and I really appreciate the part you played in the whole process. It was fun to have you along as we created our own little adventure and it was a true blessing to be able to share it with everyone. We had an amazing time and shared an experience together that we will never forget.

America is so beauiful and so are my bloggy friends! Thanks again.

Love,

Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Fourteen!

Hey Bloggy Friends! Well, here it is - the final day of Sugar Road Trip 2007! We were on the road so long that I just started believing that we would just be driving for eternity. It definitely snuck up on us, but when the day arrived I was ready to get out of that car and settle into our new place for a nice long rest! On the last day we drove from Toledo, OH to Philadelphia. We didn't stop very much at all - and if today's video seems a little spacy - that's exactly how I was feeling!

Have a great day Bloggy Friends!

Love, Joshy Friend

Sugar Road Trip - Day Thirteen

Hey Bloggy Friends! Well, thirteen down, one to go! Today we drive from Dubuque to Chicago in a little segment I like to call Sugar Road Trip - Day Thirteen. At this point we were a little pressed for time, so I didn't get to stay in Chicago for as long as I would have liked. I did get to stop in for a fabulous dinner at my old workplace, Chicago Diner. It was so good to see some old friends that I used to work with, and meet a few of the cute new employees.

To see pictures of our day click IOWA/CHICAGO.

Make it a delicious day! Stop by tomorrow for the home stretch to Philly!!

Love, Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Twelve

Hey Bloggy Friends. As promised, I am back today with a new video installment to my Road Trip series! After today there are only two left and they will return after my routine, weekend hiatus!

In today's bloggy video we are driving through the great state of Iowa! It definitely lacked a lot of the extreme land features that we became accustomed to seeing previously, but I have to say that even without all of that Iowa held it's own.

The beautiful, clear day contributed to some pretty pictures. You can check them out by clicking IOWA.

Have a great weekend bloggy friends! Tune in next week to see our final two days of Sugar Road Trip 2007, when we stop in good ol' Chicago and head into our final destination - Philadelphia! The end crept up so fast, I can't believe it's already over!

Love, Josh

P.S. Ashley (from Rainbow Lounge) if you are reading this email me at Justjoshfunk1@gmail.com. I lost your email in the move and would love to stay in touch!

Sugar Road Trip - Day Eleven

Good afternoon, Bloggy Friends!

Here is a video of day eleven of our road trip. Today we drive across South Dakota, stopping at the many sites it has to offer along the way. I become more and more surprised, as we drive along, at the vast difference in terrain and weather conditions. Notice that we are wearing shorts and t-shirts in most of today's video, when just yesterday we were freezing our hind-ends off in the snow! It's funny the way this world works - and I love it!

Here are some pictures of our day in SOUTH DAKOTA

Have a great Wednesday Bloggy Friends!

Love, Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Ten

Howdy Bloggy Friends! Join us today as we drive clear across Wyoming, stopping at a few places along the way to see what this least populated state has to offer! As you may imagine it consisted mainly of miles and miles of beautiful open land, rock mountains and a few quaint towns nestled here and there.

Somehow I failed to take too many pictures, but you can see the ones I did take by clicking WYOMING.

Have an awesome day and I'll talk to ya soon!

Love, Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Nine

Hey Bloggy Friends! The Road Trip continues! Check today's video for our adventures from Helena, Montana to an afternoon in Yellowstone National Park. I have to say that Yellowstone may be my very favorite part of the Road Trip so far. There is a lot of history going on that this huge 100 x 100 spread of forest. Check it out!

Love, Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Eight

Good afternoon Bloggy Friends! I hope you are all having a great start to the new week and a happy Columbus Day. What perfect timing for us to be discovering new lands, just the way Columbus did in 1492 - when he sailed the ocean blue. We are also learning exciting things about the Native American peoples who really came and settled America before anyone else.

Here is yet another installment to my Road Trip video series. Watch as we skip across Spokane, WA and hit the road for a long day of driving through Idaho and Montana!

Such beautiful countryside. To see pictures, you can just click on THIS little link right HERE.

Love you, Josh

Sugar Road Trip - Day Seven

Happy Sunday Bloggy Friends! Well, we finally had to tear ourselves away from Seattle. I had such an awesome time there. It was a great point in our trip to stop and refresh ourselves for the long haul eastward. I'm looking forward to what adventures await us in the wild untamed mid-west!

Here is a bloggy video of our last afternoon in Seattle, and as we hit HWY 2 on our way to Yellowstone Nat'l Park.

The song clip I used in today's bloggy video is "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

Peace Out!

Sugar Road Trip - Day Six

Hey Bloggy Friends! So, we had so much fun in Seattle that we decided to stay another full day! It's so great to see and spend time with my brother and friends I have there. I have visited the city several times before, but Alan wanted to see some of the major tourist spots. I took him to a few of my favorite places, come along with us on a virtual bloggy friend video tour!

I didn't take many pictures, but you can check out the ones I did take HERE

Have a great day Bloggy Friends. I'll see ya'll tomorrow!
