We outfitted a van to travel throughout the USA mostly to try new foods and see new things beyond our home. We live in Nashville Tennessee and before we hit the road we wanted to show you around a couple places that we like to go to often for coffee, pastries and delicious meals! Follow along as we take you on a trip in our van from Tennessee to the west coast with our two young kids!!
