Making The Trip

We have decided that driving across country is going to be the most efficient way of getting ourselves to Alaska.  Its going to be a very very long trip but we are going to make the most out of every step of the way.  There are a few stops along the way that we will be making to see family, friends and sites of the country we have always wanted to visit.  We have a number of Tennessee families that we would love to see, of course The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas for a night or two haha, Yosemite, and lastly my brother, Mason, in Spokane, WA; and possibly a few others in between.  After that its on through British Columbia till Alaska!  We do realize this isn't exactly the shortest route, but we would rather travel a few more days and make the trip memorable.
