Roadtrip 2/2:

We continued our adventure in Alabama, starting in Montgomery to dive into some Southern history, then made our way to Mobile for the night and enjoyed some local food and live music. After that, we hit Dauphin Island for a quick beach escape 🌊. Next, we crossed into Mississippi for a brief pit stop, then rolled into New Orleans 🎺—where Caroline and Eric hosted us for an awesome weekend in the city.

Texas was up next—where we spent some days at Chris’ place! We had the chance to go for the legendary Franklin’s BBQ and saw some great comedy. We also had the chance to check out the awesome jazz scene they have in Austin 🎷Thak you Chris - it was a blast!

Our road trip continued towards Dallas for a night, after which we had a stop at Fort Worth and really felt the Western spirit 🤠.

On our way home, we made a pit stop in Oklahoma City to check out a bit of Route 66 nostalgia 🛣️. After that, Kansas City was on the horizon, where we caught an amazing game with the Chiefs & Bills putting on an awesome show 🏈—what a rush!

Finally, we did a quick (suuuper quick) stop in Iowa and then it was time to head back home.

It has been a whirlwind of fun, culture, and memories that’ll last a lifetime!🎬

We are so thankful for this opportunity and can’t wait to see what the final months of the year have to offer!
